The tasks of the production engineer go from the planning, layout and design of manufacturing systems, i.e. from individual machine tools up to flexibly linked multi-machine systems, of handling devices, robots and assembly systems, including the automation required for the machine control and manufacturing system control. Above and beyond this the production engineering is also devoted to the execution of the production and the dispositional planning and the allocation of the resources in the operation (Enterprise Resource Planning). Important sub-areas, in this respect, are work organisation and management, the production planning and control system (PPS) and the internal logistics. Thereby the PPS becomes visible as a planning and controlling instrument.*
Examples of our services:
- Development / Design of:
- Fixture, machine tools, flexible manufacturing systems (FMS) etc.
- Robotics, transport, storage and commissioning engineering, flexible assembly systems and packaging systems
- Planning and programming of machine controls and manufacturing system controls for the automation of processes.
- Production planning and design
- Product and process planning and optimisation
- Production planning and control
- Planning and management of the internal logistics including process simulation in the “virtual factory”
