With the development equipment, interlinked manufacturing and assembly processes are developed in an integrated mechanical and information technology manner and tested against the target characteristics.
Our Solution
Engineering environment with two six-axis industrial robots with force control
Flexible interfaces and simple integration of additionally required sensor technology (e.g. optical)
Digital twin for synchronized control of linked assembly operations
Your Benefits
Assembly time is reduced by 70 percent
Costs are reduced by 80 percent
Suitable for hybrid processes with assembly and machining
Whether indoors or outdoors, automated guided vehicles (AGVs) move materials, products and even production equipment. By using a mobile robot, it is also possible to load a machine.
Our Solution
Development of mechatronic safety concepts and prototypes
Robot control and integration for tasks with contact to humans and surroundings
Use of mobile robots as driverless vehicles for complex tasks
Your Benefits
Flexibility in production and reduction of costs
Transport of intermediate products with innovative transfer processes
Simple automation for repetitive processes or tasks with high loads
New variants and tasks can be learned quickly and intuitively thanks to flexible robotics. Our processes for industry facilitate both fine assembly and handling of heavy loads.
Our Solution

Commissioning plants in analog is expensive and time-consuming. Design data is visualized in augmented and virtual reality. Thanks to the full-size representation, interactions can be carried out virtually.
Our Solution
Support commissioning digitally with Extended Reality (XR)
Integrate XR environments
§Create training scenarios automatically
Your Benefits
Virtual commissioning with digital twins is faster and less expensive.
Increased quality through early fault analysis
Shortened training times and development of training scenarios
User-centered designs for high immersion and convincing user experience
For large quantities, manual inspection is not affordable. With AI, screw and thread localization can be detected regardless of environment, contamination or lighting.
Our Solution
Screw types are identified without markers.
Bolts and bolting points are localized based on images.
Visual servoing for automatic bolting
Your Benefits
Quality assurance of screwdriving processes through precise recognition of screws or threads
Robot-assisted assembly automation
Algorithms can be integrated into existing systems
