Partnership and trust are key
to successful automation projects

We don't advise you as a customer to buy production equipment if it's not a good investment for your business. Our job is to advise you on how to maximise the value and profitability of your business.

 

Sometimes this means challenging you on needs, processes and value when you come to us with an idea for a solution and just want a price.

 

We don't work like that, and we're not afraid to say it out loud.

 

 

Want us to help you, too?

3 ingredients to successful projects

  • Both parties bring something to the table in a partnership. It's important to ensure joint ownership and commitment, where both partners share knowledge and expectations.

  • Mutual trust is essential to gain the necessary insight and knowledge to create the right solution. Trust is a two-way street - and we share both opportunities and challenges.

  • The final step on the road to a successful automation project is structured and professional project management. Our model is based on 35 years of experience in developing and implementing automation projects.

The four phases in our project model

1. Workshop

Developing the most optimal automation solution requires an in-depth understanding of needs and challenges. That's why we always initiate a new project with a workshop; it fosters shared ownership and encourages close collaboration.

 

The workshop spans a few days, during which we generate ideas and concepts, create layouts for various solutions, and develop business cases. This effort provides us with a solid foundation to:

 

  • Focus on projects and investments that bring the most value to your company.
  • Identify other potentials and investments beyond the initially identified ones.

 

The workshop is the core of our project model, making it a highly prioritised element in our work.

2. Pre-projects

A workshop often generates multiple potential solutions for your company. Our priority is to choose the most suitable solution for further development. At this stage, we often conduct a 'pre-project,' a concept we've devised and incorporated into our project model.

 

The pre-project takes place in our Innovation Center, where we set up tests and create proof of concept to identify and address potential technical challenges in the early stages.

 

Through a pre-project, we achieve:

  • Crucial knowledge contributing to the success of the final product.
  • Risk mitigation, helping us validate your business case and secure your investment

3. Project execution

Executing projects is a skill we've honed over the years. Since our founding in 1988, we've tackled various challenges, learning and evolving, shaping our approach into our robust stage-gate project model.

 

Managing projects can be tricky, especially when dealing with high technical complexity and extended timelines. While unexpected hurdles may arise, our structured and professional project model ensures a smooth journey to success. Each project is supported by a comprehensive team, bringing together all the necessary professional and technical expertise to see it through.

4. Commissioning

Also known as the ramp-up or stabilisation period, regardless of the name, the goal is to ensure high OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) in the plant. Our assembly solutions often involve complex systems that take 1-2 years to construct, requiring thorough knowledge sharing and training of your operators before they can take over.

 

During the stabilisation period, our service organisation comes into play, ready to assist with:

 

  • Planned maintenance: Extending the lifespan and efficiency of the plant.
  • Continuous optimisation: Ensuring the plant operates at its best.
  • Hotline support: Assistance for breakdowns and other urgent issues.
