Reduce by consistent standardization

How would I like to help you !

Standardization and the use of TCO boundary conditions are not a short-term concept to save investment funds. Your company should be prepared to, to follow this path consistently.

Of course, standardization can also be implemented in stages. With each step, you will definitely recognize the advantages.

I can provide you with advice, based on my expertise, provide targeted support : 

  • At the moment, machine/line builders is repeatedly faced with the challenge of having to design the equipment for an end customer order in accordance with the end customer's specifications or only being able to install the cheapest components in the plant for commercial reasons. In some cases, he can also place his own standard with the customer. The TCO concept often plays no role at the moment. In the future, due to technical trends such as the creation of a digital twin, standard interfaces to the cloud and the use of AI and/or IIoT services, standardization will once again play a greater role. I can support you with :
    • Analysis of customer-specific specifications and tips for reaching consensus with your end customers.
    • Information on future trends in component production (powertrain) at automotive manufacturers and their suppliers. Production and assembly lines required in the future. Cooperation with partners (funding projects, universities).
    • Advice on the sensible standardization of the automation solution for your products (machines / systems).
  • An essential key to the successful placement of an automation solution with an end customer or machine-/line-builder is the existence of a “standardized” automation solution. Ideally, this should be developed together with the end customer and the corresponding machine-/line-builder! The best way to do this is through an organized consortium consisting of end customers, machine-/line-builder and universities. A standardized automation concept always consists of several building blocks. This enables your customers to use standardization in stages. Here I can offer my expertise for :
    • Information and procedure to create a standard for your automation portfolio and solutions together with machine-/line-builder and end customers.
    • Definition of standardization modules in order to be able to offer your customers a step-by-step concept for standardization.
  • An appropriate sales and support concept is necessary to place a standardized automation solution on the market. I can support your company with my experience :
    • in the definition of an appropriate sales organization.
    • for information about a support organization and support tools.
