Consulting that shows what's possible — not just pretty slides.

Deep expertise in digitalisation, AI, energy efficiency and cost transparency. You get clear recommendations instead of lists of options — and we bring the delivery team with us.

What we talk about

Each field stands on its own — though most projects start in one and lead into a second.

Digitalisation im Operations
FIELD 01

Digitalisation

An honest look at what runs manually, twice or blind in your operation today — and what can be changed at reasonable cost. Not every gap justifies software.

What we look at
  • Processes across production, supply chain, fleet and administration
  • Existing system landscape and its interfaces
  • Media breaks: where data leaves the system and comes back by hand
  • Data quality as the basis for everything else
What you get
  • A prioritised action list instead of a wish list
  • Effort and benefit estimate per measure
  • A clear statement on where standard software suffices
  • A delivery roadmap in realistic stages
AI in your business
FIELD 02

Using AI in your business

The real effort sits between pilot and production. We clarify where AI brings measurable value in your operation — and where it stays an expensive experiment.

What we look at
  • Concrete use cases instead of a general AI strategy
  • Data situation: is it sufficient for the intended use case?
  • Requirements from the EU AI Act and GDPR
  • Make or buy: own model, vendor, or an AI layer on your data
What you get
  • Use cases rated by value and effort
  • Assessment of risk class under the EU AI Act
  • Recommendation on operating model and data storage
  • A realistic statement on what works today and what doesn't
Energy efficiency
FIELD 03

Energy efficiency

Cutting consumption starts with measuring. We show where energy is lost across production, fleet and buildings — and which measures pay back over what period.

What we look at
  • Load profiles and consumption peaks across the day and week
  • Metering points: what is measured today and what is missing
  • Building management systems and their control logic
  • Fuel and consumable usage across the fleet
What you get
  • A metering concept: which sensors are genuinely needed where
  • Savings potential with payback calculation
  • Measures split into immediate, mid-term and investment
  • A basis for funding applications where they apply
Cost transparency
FIELD 04

Cost transparency

Most operations know their total costs but not how they break down. We make visible what individual machines, vehicles and processes actually cost — including the cost of standstill.

What we look at
  • Cost per asset instead of cost per cost centre
  • Downtime and its real knock-on costs
  • Maintenance: planned versus unplanned, with the cost difference
  • Utilisation: what sits idle, what is overloaded
What you get
  • A metrics model that can realistically be maintained
  • Analysis by asset, site and process
  • Leading indicators instead of pure hindsight
  • A reporting format for management and controlling

Analysis, recommendation, delivery — from one house.

You don't need a smart factory to start

Industry 4.0 is usually sold as a complete rebuild — with feasibility studies, concept phases and six-figure consulting fees before the first sensor is mounted. For most mid-sized companies that is neither necessary nor affordable. The largest potential almost always sits where nothing is measured today.

Start off the shelf

Ready-made solutions instead of custom development at the start. Running in weeks, not quarters — at a fraction of the cost.

Simple sensors, own gateways

We build hardware and gateways ourselves. That keeps entry affordable and keeps you independent of any single vendor.

Grow it, don't rebuild it

What starts small stays extendable: more measuring points, more sites, more analysis — without replacing the foundation.

Advise, analyse, deliver — with our own concept, hardware and software. Compatible with what you already run, and scalable once the value is proven.

How a consulting engagement runs

Four steps, no months-long pre-study. After step two you know whether the rest is worth it.

STEP 01
First call

Free, about an hour. We clarify where your problem sits and whether we are the right people for it.

STEP 02
Assessment

On site or remote: processes, systems and existing data. The result is a solid assessment.

STEP 03
Concept & numbers

Measures with effort, benefit and payback. You decide on numbers, not on hearsay.

STEP 04
Delivery — optional

With us, with your team or with a third party. The concept is yours.

Consultingsgespräch
After the consulting

Others hand over a concept. We also build it.

Development teams, hardware, connectivity and operations come from the same house that did the analysis — no handover break between the people who understood it and the people who build it. You are not obliged to continue: the concept is yours, including all analyses.
