Electrical engineering design for packaging and consumer goods

A production line is rarely understood at the drawing board. Anyone who is to reorganise its automation sensibly has to see the processes first – pressing, forming, final assembly – and only then draw. The documentation holds the result together, from layout plan to fluid diagram.

Automated production line for household appliances with safety enclosures and operating terminal

Typical tasks

Analysis of processes in pressing, forming and final appliance assembly.
Reframing the automation strategy for an existing line.
Building plant-specific schematic and pneumatic macros.
Linking layout plan, assembly drawing, circuit and fluid diagram.
Implementing rebuilds section by section during ongoing production.

What we take on

Electrical design and automation planning for production lines.
Implementation with plant-specific macros instead of individual drawings.
Consistently linked documentation across all types of plan.
Identifying further automation potential in the installed base.

Engineering software & CAE systems

We work inside your system landscape.

For electrical design and technical documentation we use established CAE systems. Which one we use follows your standards and your existing environment – not our habit.

Technical framework

The value lies in the linking: when layout plan, assembly drawing, circuit diagram and fluid diagram refer to one another, maintenance finds its way during a fault – without asking the design office.
