Our Proven Approach for your Successful Project
With our methodical process, we guide you through every phase of your Smart Factory initiative—from ideation to implementation and beyond.
01 Smart Factory Workshop: Ideation and Analysis
Do you want to identify areas where Smart Factory solutions can add the most value? In our one-day workshop, we analyze your starting point, clarify your objectives, and transform your ideas into actionable use cases. You will leave with a tailored Smart Factory roadmap that you can implement with or without our assistance.

Every successful Smart Factory project begins with a robust concept. We capture your unique requirements and incorporate your ideas into a customized plan. Together, we define the most suitable technologies and practical implementation strategies.
03 Interfaces: Seamless Integration
A connected production system is only as strong as its interfaces. We integrate your Smart Factory with systems like ERP, SCADA, or laboratory tools using protocols such as OPC-UA. This ensures smooth data communication and optimized process connectivity.
04 Customization: Your Processes, your Solution
Your production processes are unique—your solution should be too. We develop tailored workflows, from recipe creation to optimal resource utilization. Working in agile sprints and close collaboration with your project team, we ensure that the final solution aligns perfectly with your goals and expectations.
