A Collaborative Platform for Industrial Intelligence
aprocesr is an open and adaptive engineering platform connecting experienced engineers, domain experts, and data scientists into collaborative project systems. Together with our clients, we co-create clarity and deliver intelligent solutions that bridge theory, practice, and implementation.
Engineering Consultancy for Process Optimization and Digital Solutions
We are a lean, globally active consultancy specializing in industrial automation, process improvement, and applied research. Operating through a Hong Kong-based limited liability company, aprocesr functions as a flexible and collaborative network—assembling experienced engineers, data scientists, and domain experts on a project-specific basis.
This model allows us to deliver high-value expertise without the overhead of a traditional firm. We focus on early-stage definition and feasibility — where clarity, alignment, and realism determine long-term success.
Our work spans both non-capital projects—such as diagnostics, feasibility studies, and technology evaluations—and participation in capital projects as part of multidisciplinary teams.
Core values: Clarity • Agility • Intelligent Engineering
Collaboration as a System
We approach every engagement as an adaptive system. Clients are active participants, not external observers. Working side-by-side, we capture tacit knowledge, identify constraints, and co-develop solutions grounded in reality.
Depending on project scope, we assemble domain experts in process control, optimization, and applied data science — ensuring that every solution remains as simple as possible, yet as sophisticated as necessary.
Meet the Founder
Sam Matic, P.Eng., is a Canadian professional engineer with decades of international experience in industrial automation, process control, energy, and project management. His career includes roles with organizations such as Suncor, Rockwell Automation, Gerdau, and Siempelkamp—spanning industries from steel and energy to engineered wood and oil & gas.
His core expertise lies in process control and automation, complemented by a cross-disciplinary understanding that extends into systems engineering, applied mathematics, and project strategy. This breadth enables him to connect technical depth with practical decision-making across all stages of the project lifecycle—on both vendor and client sides.
Before founding aprocesr, Sam led complex industrial projects across multiple continents, combining analytical rigor with on-site pragmatism. Drawing on systems thinking, complexity science, and requirements engineering, he focuses on the early stages of projects—where clarity, feasibility, and alignment often determine long-term success.
Having seen how rigid corporate structures can limit innovation, Sam shaped aprocesr as a flexible, open system—one that assembles expertise around real challenges and evolves with every engagement.
Research and Collaboration Network
aprocesr collaborates with a network of academic researchers and experienced consultants across applied mathematics, control systems, and data analytics. This network supports projects requiring advanced modeling, optimization, and hybrid AI methods.
Our collaborators combine academic depth with industrial experience, while mentoring young engineers and sharing knowledge to keep the system vibrant and evolving.
