We support you in 3 domains:

1. Product design

We help companies develop better products through design methods and supporting software that simplify technical choices.

The focus is on optimising functionality, efficiency, cost price and manufacturability.

2. Production processes

We improve and automate (flexible) assembly systems and use smart sensors, data analysis and flow planning to increase efficiency — even in high mix, low volume environments.

3. New production technologies

We guide companies in implementing advanced technologies such as AI, robotics and cobots, augmented and virtual reality, and digital work instructions.
We also offer demonstrations and tests in our advanced testing facilities, including the Operator Support 4.0 Lab, Make Lab and SmartFactoryBNL.

Together, we turn innovation into industrial added value - step by step, tailored to your ambitions.
