OUR PROCESS

From concept to validation.

To ensure a smooth, zero-error integration of our track and trace solutions, we guide you through a systematic, 3-step journey.

01

Discovery and Conceptual Design

We take you from a deep-dive analysis of your production requirements and goals to a tailored blueprint of your future track and trace system.

02

In-House Development and Testing

We produce all mechanical components, assemble them into systems, and develop the accompanying software. We stress-test all parts under critical conditions.

03

Integration and Support

After the on-site installation, commissioning, and full validation, we remain available 24/7 for remote technical assistance, regular maintenance, and upgrades.

WHAT OUR ENGINEERS THINK

When Does Automation Actually Make Sense?

“Automation makes sense when it solves a specific problem in the process - greater repeatability, less manual labor, or better line utilization. Our approach is always tied to the customer's actual process, not a universal solution.”

FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

Among our typical solutions are:

  • Product or component handling
  • Automated assembly
  • Packaging and product preparation for further processing
  • Palletizing and depalletizing
  • Product transport/transfer between process phases
  • Integration of checkpoints and rejection of non-conforming products

As we primarily provide custom-made solutions, we adapt all key system components to the specific application. These adjustments are necessary because processes vary significantly in terms of product types, speeds, tolerances, spatial constraints, and operator workflows.

The most customizable elements include:

  • Modular system design
  • Mechanical components (grippers, tooling)
  • Flexible software (PLC, HMI, recipe management)
  • Integration with existing equipment (legacy systems)
  • Product and packaging types
  • Scalability (upgrade options)
  • Line speed and capacity
  • Specific validation requirements (e.g. pharma)
  • Layout adjustment based on available space
  • Robot selection tailored to the application
  • Safety concepts and validation documentation

Very frequently. In practice, automation is rarely an isolated field and is typically connected with other parts of the production process. Our integrations most often include:

  • Packaging Systems – Seamless coordination with packaging lines.
  • Robotic Applications – Robotics as a core component of the solution.
  • Vision Inspection Systems – Integrated quality control.
  • Labeling and Marking
  • Track & Trace – Full serialization and product tracking.
  • MES/ERP Integration – Connection to higher-level information systems.
  • Data Collection – Real-time analytics and data gathering.
  • Safety Systems

This means our automation goes beyond moving products; it incorporates control, verification, decision-making, rejection, and data synchronization across the production environment.

Our specialised teams provide technical support throughout the system's entire lifecycle. This includes:

  • On-site service interventions.
  • Remote diagnostics and troubleshooting.
  • Functional adjustments and software updates.
  • Supply of critical spare parts.
  • Regular inspections to ensure uptime.
  • Ongoing assistance with compliance requirements.
  • Dedicated operator training
  • Continuous performance optimisation
  • SLA Agreements

Our automation solutions comply with the most stringent standards across multiple industries. We reinforce our commitment to quality through:

  • CE Compliance – Adherence to European safety, health, and environmental protection standards.
  • GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) – Ensuring consistent quality in production environments.
  • GAMP 5 – Industry-best practices for pharmaceutical automation.
  • ISO Standards – Including ISO 9001 for quality management systems.
  • Validation Documentation – Comprehensive IQ/OQ/PQ protocols.
  • ISO 13849 for safety-related parts of control systems.
  • FDA Requirements – Adherence to specific regulations as required.
  • Documented Traceability – Full tracking of materials and processes.

Yes, provided the system is designed with sufficient flexibility from the initial phase. For most of our solutions, we proactively anticipate future adaptations. The feasibility and scope of an upgrade typically depend on the ROI, system flexibility, timeline, reliability, maintenance and validation requirements (for new IQ/OQ/PQ protocols) as well as spare parts availability.
