Factory planning consulting

Would you like to optimize existing plant structures or are you considering building a new production facility?

The constantly growing competitive pressure is increasingly forcing manufacturing companies, to react to a growing number of variants, increased volatility and necessary capacity adjustments – all under increasing cost pressure. At the same time, technological progress requires the continuous modernization of production and logistics systems as well as the use of new equipment and automation technologies. The efficient use of materials and resources is also becoming increasingly important in this context in order to remain competitive.

As your partner for factory planning, we offer you comprehensive advice and support you with targeted plant structure planning to make your production and logistics future-proof, flexible and efficient. We use modern simulation tools to develop optimal solutions. Our approach improves productivity, lowers costs, reduces throughput times and minimizes inventories.

Together, we solve your tasks step by step and guide you successfully on the path to the smart factory by developing cost-effective digitalization and automation solutions for your company.

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 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 must be questioned. Through systematic plant structure planning, we support you in 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.
