Special plant construction for customer-specific production lines

In the field of special-purpose machinery, we develop customized production systems from the concept phase to series production. Our service portfolio includes feasibility analysis, process and layout planning, design (mechanical/electrical), control and software development, manufacturing, assembly, and the integration of robotics, testing, and handling technology. This also encompasses safety concepts, documentation, and CE conformity. The result is custom mechanical engineering solutions precisely tailored to cycle times, component variations, and quality requirements.

A typical project workflow begins with requirements gathering and a specifications workshop. This is followed by concept development, simulation/prototyping, design, procurement, and manufacturing. During pre-commissioning (FAT), functionality, cycle time, and quality are verified before the system is installed at the customer's site. After commissioning (SAT), process acceptance, training, and ramp-up support take place. This structured approach reduces risks and ensures predictable automation solutions.

Customized production lines are optimized for the product, process, and environment, rather than making compromises. This often results in shorter cycle times, higher OEE, consistent quality, and less manual intervention. Individual production systems can also specifically address component variants, traceability, and testing strategies. Tailored interfaces to MES/ERP and existing peripherals create efficient automation solutions that offer a faster return on investment than "adapted" standard machines.

Custom mechanical engineering solutions are used wherever high production volumes, product variety, or demanding quality requirements are involved. Typical industries include automotive and e-mobility, medical technology, electronics, plastics technology, packaging, and general industry. Applications range from assembly and testing systems to feeding technology and robotic cells, all the way to linked lines with traceability. Custom plant engineering integrates processes such as joining, screwing, gluing, laser cutting, and leak testing.

Future-proofing is achieved through modular architecture, scalable cycle time concepts, and standardized interfaces. In custom machine construction, we plan for expansions (e.g., additional stations, new product variants, further testing features) from the outset: layout reserves, flexible gripper/tool changes, configurable recipes, and updatable control software. This ensures that customer-specific production lines remain efficient even with increasing production volumes or product changes, without requiring a complete reinvestment.
