Factory digitalisation
Systematic digitalisation of manufacturing and production processes — from the initial assessment to ongoing optimisation. No production downtime, no replacing systems that work.
Where it hurts
- No transparency on OEE, downtime or the causes of scrap
- Paper-based processes slow down the response to problems
- A heterogeneous machine landscape with different protocols and generations
- Willingness to invest is there, but no clear starting point
- Earlier digitalisation attempts failed because they didn't work in practice
Our approach
Assessment
We analyse your existing machines, systems and processes — without preconceptions. What's there, what's missing, where are the biggest levers?
Prioritisation
Not everything at once. We identify the 2–3 measures with the highest ROI and start there. No big-bang project, no production downtime.
Implementation
We build, test and roll out — iteratively, together with your team. Training and knowledge transfer are part of every delivery.
Ongoing optimisation
After go-live, the real work begins: interpreting data, improving KPIs, working out the next steps.

Frequently asked questions
Do we have to replace our existing machines?
No. We connect existing equipment using modern interfaces and protocols — regardless of age or manufacturer. Replacing is the most expensive and riskiest option.
How long does a typical factory digitalisation project take?
The first measurable results are often visible within 6–8 weeks. A full rollout across several lines takes 3–6 months, depending on complexity.
What company size is this suitable for?
We mainly work with mid-sized manufacturers with between 50 and 500 employees. But the approach scales — from a single pilot line to an entire plant.
What does factory digitalisation cost?
That depends heavily on the scope. A focused pilot project can be delivered on a much smaller budget than a full rollout. We'll go through concrete figures in the initial consultation.
