Engineering, production, delivery, commissioning and after-sales service - this describes our value chain in the areas of jig construction and tools. Our range of services extends from customized hand tools to achieve ergonomic improvements and increase throughput and eliminate assembly errors to 40 m long large-scale jigs for aircraft wings. Our experienced suppliers and own production mean we are also able to offer short delivery and reaction times for our customers.
Developing a new transportation system solution for a product; planning a new production facility; moving small, medium, extremely heavy or sensitive components and systems within a production or an entire logistics chain; ergonomically organizing existing or new workplaces in production - the requirements in the handling and transportation sector are strict and extremely multi-faceted. Flexibility, ergonomics and reliability are therefore key.
Robot applications, controller hardware and software, transport/handling/test systems, production management systems, machining equipment and positioning systems – automated solutions for the aerospace industry are diverse and complex.
Planning and technical feasibility studiesRationalization, increasing of production capacities, automation and optimization measures and cost improvements - these are all challenges we are glad to take on together with our customers. thyssenkrupp System Engineering offers its customers full realization of technology and process-oriented projects - from planning through to acceptance, worldwide. Included here are substantiated production planning for assembly and production of aircraft, sections and components, the expansion of existing production capabilities and the development of automated solutions for production.
