OEMs, microtechnology, watchmaking: Lake Geneva and Jura arc
Special machines and assembly lines: meeting your customer deadlines.
Software automation reinforcement and commissioning for special-machine OEMs, robotics integrators and watchmaking manufacturers in the Lake Geneva arc. Beckhoff TwinCAT, Siemens TIA Portal, industrial vision. FAT/SAT delivery at your end customer.
Field reality
OEM and microtechnology challenges
Machine diversity: each OEM product is unique, limited reuse possible. You need automation engineers who can ramp up quickly on a new scope.
Load peaks before customer delivery: FAT/SAT concentrates work into weeks. Subcontracting this phase to a regional partner frees your internal team.
Precision and cycle time: watchmaking assembly, microtechnology, vision. Tolerances are tight, any drift jeopardizes the finished product.
On-site interventions in French-speaking Switzerland. Remote support wherever authorised secure access is available.
