Consulting for intelligent automation

Intelligent automation consulting for industrial processes and smart factory optimization

We support companies in making automation decisions – before investments are made.

In an increasingly connected industrial environment, it is no longer sufficient to simply automate manual processes.


What matters is which automation is economically viable, technically feasible, and sustainable in the long term.

How we evaluate automation projects before investment

Our approach to intelligent automation is not based on theoretical concepts or vendor-driven solutions, but on hands-on experience in mechanical engineering, automation and industrial practice.


We do not only analyse what is technically possible – we focus on what is economically viable, realistically implementable and sustainable for your business.

Analysis of existing processes


Detailed assessment of manufacturing, assembly and logistics processes as well as existing systems and workflows.


The objective is to identify real bottlenecks, manual effort and inefficiencies as a basis for sound decision-making.

Independent Evaluation of automation potential


Independent evaluation of automation solutions in terms of technical feasibility, ROI, integration effort and risks.


No vendor bias – the focus is on economic value and real impact.

Decision basis & roadmap


Development of a clear, step-by-step roadmap – from quick wins and pilot projects to scalable implementation.


The result is a solid decision basis before investment and a realistic, executable strategy.

The result: An independent basis for decision-making that avoids bad investments and automates processes where real economic benefits are generated.

  • Typical questions before automation decisions

    As part of our analysis, we address questions such as:


    – Which processes actually offer real economic automation potential?  

    – Where do the highest costs, bottlenecks or manual efforts currently occur?  

    – Which automation solutions are technically sound and sustainable?  

    – Which investments are economically justified – and which are not?  

    – What are the integration efforts and associated risks?  

    – What alternatives to classic automation should be considered?  

    – Which steps deliver quick, measurable improvements (quick wins)?  

    – How can a scalable, long-term automation strategy be developed?  

The scope and depth of the analysis are always tailored to your company, your processes and your strategic objectives.

Example: Automation Concept for an Industrial Combined Mill


Initial Situation:

A company planned to automate a complex industrial combined mill with the objective of improving production efficiency and optimizing processes. At the same time, there was uncertainty regarding technical feasibility, economic viability, and possible alternative approaches.


Our Role:

Development of a comprehensive, vendor-independent automation concept as a decision-making basis prior to investment.



Detailed analysis of existing processes, evaluation of potential automation solutions, and creation of a structured overall concept including a clear roadmap and prioritization.


Result:


– solid decision-making basis before investment 

– clear evaluation of feasibility, effort, and expected benefits 

– structured roadmap for step-by-step implementation 

– reduction of investment risks through independent analysis 

Example: Implementation of an RFID-Based Production Tracking System


Initial Situation:

An industrial company had limited transparency across its production processes. Material flows, lead times, and process statuses were not clearly traceable, resulting in inefficiencies and delays.


Our Role:

Analysis of existing processes and development of a concept for digitalization and automation of production control.


Evaluation and implementation of an RFID-based tracking system for real-time monitoring of components and process steps, including integration into existing systems.



Result:


– full transparency across production processes and material flows 

– reduced lead times and manual effort 

– improved control and planning of production 

– sustainable efficiency gains through data-driven decision-making
