CONSULTING

Which step first?

We look at your process and your floor and show you which step a module takes over first, and what it takes to get there.

BEFORE TECHNOLOGY

Most automation projects stall on unclear goals, not on technology.

So we start there. Operations, engineering, quality and management agree on one target concept before anyone talks about modules. Regulatory requirements shape that concept from the first sketch, not at the end.

HOW WE WORK

Manufacturing automation consulting in four steps.

01

Assessment

We look at your process, your bottlenecks and your automation potential.

YOU GET

A clear picture of where to start.

02

Strategy and target concept

We define the target with you, including a high-level ROI estimate and a make-or-buy view.

YOU GET

A target concept.

03

Concept and architecture

We lay out the system: which modules, which interfaces, which layout.

YOU GET

The system architecture.

04

Requirements and project preparation

We write it down so a project can start.

YOU GET

The URS and the RFQ.

TYPICAL QUESTIONS

Feasibility studies · Modular production concepts · High-mix, low-volume strategies · Scale-up and capacity planning · Manual-to-automated transformation · GMP-compliant automation · Digital factory concepts · Early project definition

AFTER CONSULTING

A concept that carries straight into the build.

Consulting stands on its own. If you go further, the people who wrote the concept build the modules.

1

The concept

Target concept, architecture and URS, from the team that builds the modules.

2

One module

One MicroFactory Core, one process on top, qualified on its own, running in your production. It earns its place before anything else is decided.

3

The line

When volumes grow or the product changes, the module stays and the next one docks. Your investment moves with you.

FAQ

Questions before a first conversation.

Do I have to buy from ESSERT afterwards?

No. Consulting stands on its own. The concept and the URS are yours.

What do I have at the end?

A target concept, a system architecture and the URS and RFQ to start the project.
