Digital Engineering
Designing efficient Systems, Processes and Data
Developing sustainable digital Products through AI and Automation
Your roadmap to digital success: We analyse your data, development processes, methods, and tool landscape to create a foundation for sustainable digital product development. Using AI and automation, we optimise your efforts, identify potential and synergies, improve quality and process reliability, and enable the faster implementation of your IT projects.
Optimised Process Efficiency
We automate workflows and reduce manual effort in the long term by intelligently integrating processes, methods and systems.
Maximum Data Usage
We bring together disparate data sources and ensure your engineering data is used consistently throughout the product development process.
Future-proof Technology
As active members of relevant committees such as ProSTEP, the JT Workflow Forum and the VDI, we always keep up to date with the latest technological developments.
What is Digital Engineering?
Digital engineering involves networked, IT-based product development. Throughout the entire process, intelligent integration of processes, methods and systems automates workflows and optimises data usage, accelerating innovative product development.
Our Approach
With over 25 years’ experience in digital product development, we offer proven expertise, personalised consultancy and in-depth technological competence. From developing your vision to implementing solutions, we provide advice with a constant focus on improving quality, reducing costs and ensuring high process reliability.
Our Focus
We support companies in making their product development processes more efficient and resilient in the long term. We work with you to develop solutions that make your development work safer, faster and more economical, from analysing your development processes and data to optimising your IT systems and intelligent automation.

Rethinking Digital Engineering
The demands of product development are constantly increasing. Make the most of our extensive experience and technical expertise to streamline your processes, ensuring they are efficient, resilient and future-proof.
Challenges in Product Development
In the digital age, the field of product development is subject to constant change. Products and processes must be continually adapted to meet new requirements, regulations and market conditions. However, this dynamic is often hindered by structural and technical obstacles, preventing the implementation of flexible and powerful development environments.
Systemic Challenges:
- Introduction of new processes and systems during ongoing operations
- Inefficient process structures due to redundancies and media breaks
- Rising costs of the system and tool landscape
- High manual effort without automation
Technical Challenges:
- Specific requirements that standard solutions do not cover
- Lack of AI capability due to unsuitable data, systems and processes
- IT infrastructure that is not sufficiently future-oriented
- Data silos without end-to-end networking
We understand the complex challenges involved and can offer you a structured, intelligent product development process that connects people, data and systems optimally.
