Factory Planning

Customized factories and production facilities

The environment of manufacturing companies is becoming increasingly complex. At the same time, the demands of global competition in the industry are increasing. Companies need to respond to greater variant diversity, volatility and capacity adjustments as cost pressures increase. In addition, new technologies must be integrated into established production and logistics structures and the existing layout and structures must be questioned. Through systematic plant structure planning, we support you in achieving the goal of making your production and logistics future-proof, flexible and efficient. In doing so, we optimize productivity, costs, throughput times and inventories. On the way to the Smart Factory, we develop economical digitalization and automation solutions for you in our projects.

Customer problems & solutions

Every company and its product, but also every project, planning object and process in factory planning are unique. Nevertheless, many of our customers face similar challenges again and again in their operations across industries. We want to find the best solution for you individually and support you in the task of implementing the optimal plant structure step by step.

  • Problem: Suboptimal material flow, low transparency and grown structures in part of the manufacturing and logistics?

  • Solution: By systematically analyzing the product range, volumes and material flows, we optimize the use of the building in the brownfield.

  • Problem: Without printer and telephone your production and logistics do not work stable?

  • Solution: Together with you, we create the necessary processes, means and prerequisites on the way to digitalization and smart factory.

  • Problem: A new building or an extension is decided, but are new for you?

  • Solution: We systematically support you in designing the right factory of the future to achieve your goals.

  • Problem: Adaptability and flexibility of your production structure do not match the customer’s requirements?

  • Solution: We systematically scrutinize your existing structure and work with you to design a layout that meets your requirements.
