A predictable process, from brief to support
One team runs the project - from the first conversation and the ROI calculation, through the prototype and the factory acceptance test, to commissioning and day-to-day support after go-live.
We do not leave you alone with the machine
Most problems only appear once the machine starts running in real conditions. That is why we treat post-commissioning support as part of the project, not an add-on.
Remote diagnostics
An industrial router at the station lets an ATIV engineer connect to the machine within hours, not days. That is a concrete support mechanism, not a clause in a contract.
The knowledge stays with you
A video guide to the operator panel and documentation reachable through a QR code on the machine mean that onboarding a new operator does not require our engineer.
Selected projects
Three examples from recent years. Real production challenges and concrete business results - see what automation actually achieved.
Autonomous assembly station
Manual component assembly tied up 6 operators across 3 shifts. The line stopped at every break, changeover or absence.
Packaging automation with a rotation station
Operators had to handle heavy metal trays of parts by hand and move between production stations.
Two-position assembly machine
Manually assembling a corrugated tube with four cable ties took ~80 s/part and required 4 operators.
How we work – the automation project process
Working with ATIV runs through five predictable stages: brief and process analysis, technical concept with an ROI calculation, prototype build and FAT testing, production and SAT commissioning on the client's shop floor, and ongoing service support after go-live. At every stage the client is in direct contact with the engineer leading the project.
Process analysis covers a visit to the production hall, measurements of the current process throughput and identification of bottlenecks. On that basis we prepare a concept with an ROI estimate and a project schedule. The prototype lets us verify the assumptions before the final machine goes into production.
We do not use subcontractors – mechanics, electronics, PLC programming, vision and systems integration are all in-house competences at ATIV. That shortens delivery times and removes the risk of miscommunication between suppliers.
