Our Sibling Organisations
EMUG Tech, CitiusKBE, and Frugalhacks are sibling companies each operationally independent, each domain-specialist, and together forming a coordinated engineering ecosystem with shared leadership and values.
CAD Automation Products
CitiusKBE
Citius Solutions Pvt. Ltd. | India · UK · Sweden
AI-powered and KBE-enabled CAD automation solutions for engineering organisations working in NX, Solid Edge, and Creo. With 25+ years of combined CAD modelling, design automation, and NC machining expertise, CitiusKBE’s product suite accelerates design, reduces errors, and improves engineering efficiency from quality checking through drawing automation and standards enforcement.
NX CAD model quality check tools validating models against OEM and company design standards automatically before release.
Design for Manufacturing validation tools identifying DFM issues during CAD design rather than at the production stage.
Platform-specific automated drawing creation engine reducing manual drawing production time significantly.
Engineering Change Management tools for design revision tracking and change impact analysis across the CAD dataset.
Complete suite of precision validation, standards enforcement, geometry cleanup, and tool reachability assessment tools for NX, Solid Edge, and Creo.
How CitiusKBE and EMUG Tech work together:
Where EMUG Tech places CAD engineers in NX environments, CitiusKBE’s QC-Mate NX Suite enforces OEM model quality standards automatically — reducing the manual review burden on both placed engineers and client review teams. AutoDraft Pro accelerates drawing production in design release phases. ChangeXtract supports Teamcenter ECM implementations at the CAD data level.
Industrial Automation & IIoT
Frugalhacks
A leading Indian industrial automation solutions provider and systems integrator specialising in frugal automation — delivering high-value automation outcomes with cost-efficient, right-sized technology for manufacturing organisations across automotive, pharmaceutical, FMCG, food and beverage, heavy engineering, aerospace, and logistics sectors.
Custom-designed SPMs for assembly, testing, welding, and material handling applications built to client specifications.
Arc welding, spot welding, and laser welding robot cell design and commissioning including collaborative robot ISO/TS 15066 risk assessment.
Body-in-white framing automation, joining technology integration, and conveyor systems for automotive manufacturing plants.
Connected factory monitoring, real-time OEE dashboards, predictive maintenance systems, and smart factory integration programs.
Turnkey automation programs from concept design and mechanical engineering through installation, commissioning, and operator training.
Where Our Capabilities Connect
Each partnership between group organisations delivers combined value that no single entity can achieve alone.
Where EMUG Tech places CAD engineers in client NX environments, CitiusKBE's QC-Mate NX Suite enforces OEM model quality standards automatically. AutoDraft Pro accelerates drawing production in design release phases. ChangeXtract supports Teamcenter ECM implementations at the CAD data level — together addressing both the people and tooling dimensions of engineering productivity.
EMUG Tech's SAP PP, EWM, and MES programs connect production planning to shop floor execution. Frugalhacks's automation systems are the physical production layer those programs govern. Together, the two organisations coordinate the PLC-to-SAP data interface — ensuring machine data flows correctly into SAP production confirmations, quality notifications, and plant maintenance work orders.
Arudra Consulting leads India-entry strategy and supplier qualification. EMUG Tech implements SAP and PLM systems. Frugalhacks designs and builds factory automation. CitiusKBE deploys CAD quality toolkits across the engineering team. One coordinated group replaces four separate specialist vendors for global manufacturers establishing India manufacturing operations.

CitiusKBE’s CAD automation toolkits directly complement EMUG Tech’s engineering resource augmentation and PLM consulting programs. Where EMUG Tech places CAD engineers in client NX environments, CitiusKBE’s QC-Mate NX Suite enforces OEM model quality standards automatically. AutoDraft Pro accelerates drawing production. ChangeXtract supports Teamcenter and Windchill ECM implementations at the CAD data level — together addressing both the people layer and the tooling layer of engineering productivity.
EMUG Tech’s SAP PP, EWM, and MES integration programs connect production planning, shop floor execution, and quality management. Frugalhacks’s automation systems are the physical production layer those programs govern. For clients implementing both layers in the same facility, the two organisations coordinate the data interface design between the automation PLC layer and SAP and MES middleware — ensuring machine data flows correctly into SAP production confirmations, QM notifications, and PM work orders without manual re-entry.
EMUG Tech is headquartered in Hyderabad with delivery centres in Germany and Dubai and client presence across 20 countries. CitiusKBE operates from India, UK, and Sweden. Frugalhacks is headquartered in Hyderabad with facilities in Gachibowli and Dhundigal, Telangana.
