Six reasons to work with us.

We are at home on the shop floor

We know manufacturing operations and what it takes to run and continuously improve production sites.

We put value first

We always start with a quantification of the aspired operational improvement and put it into focus throughout our work.

We are problem solvers at heart

We are at our best when the answers have not yet been found. We typically start with optimizing a prioritized area and help shape the technical blueprint for a company-wide roll-out.

We help close the IT/OT gap

A seamless IT/OT integration is key to empower digital factory solutions in the long run. We help identify and close the gaps and set up a secure and scalable data foundation.

We build in-house
capabilities

We put capability building at the center of our implementation approach to help tackle the #1 challenge of digital manufacturing programs — the lack of in-house skills and talent.

We think and act in ecosystems

Building and orchestrating the right set of partners is essential. We therefore team-up with leading organizations, institutions, and technology vendors as well as innovative startups.
