Special Solutions

Compliance and Safety for Complex Technologies

We support you where standard knowledge ends. With our expertise in complex technologies and niche applications, we secure your projects. This allows you to place your most demanding projects on a secure foundation.

Are You in the Right Place?

Our range of special solutions combines expertise that goes beyond traditional machinery safety. It is aimed at companies with special technological requirements or specific industry risks. You have come to the right place if one or more of the following situations apply to you:

  • You develop mobile robots (AGV/AMR) or act as a system integrator for driverless transport systems and must comply with the complex requirements of EN ISO 3691-4.
  • New EU requirements such as the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and the Digital Product Passport present your specialist departments with completely new challenges in terms of implementation.
  • You develop safety-related electronics and require in-depth FMEDA analysis or support with the complex implementation of the basic standard IEC 61508.
  • You import machinery from third countries and need to be sure that they comply with European safety standards before placing them on the market.
  • You work in industries such as packaging, conveyor technology, metal processing or industrial trucks and are looking for experts who know your Type-C standards in detail.

Do You Recognise Yourself in These Points?

Let us work together to find a solution for your specific requirements. We will clarify the technical and legal feasibility in a non-binding initial consultation.

Our Special Solutions at a Glance

Whether autonomous systems, new EU regulations or heavy industry: We support you where high complexity prevails or new regulations must be implemented reliably. Below you will find our solutions for these demanding requirements.

Logistics & AGVs

Safe integration. We provide targeted support for the integration of automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and the design of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) in accordance with EN ISO 3691-4. Whether industrial trucks or interlinked conveyor technology: We ensure that people and machinery collaborate safely in your intralogistics environment.

Cyber Resilience & Ecodesign

Legally compliant for the future. The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and the Digital Product Passport bring new obligations for you. We combine machinery safety and cybersecurity, support you in risk assessment and advise you on the requirements of the Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR).

Functional Safety & Electronics

In-depth analyses. If Performance Levels in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1 are not sufficient as proof, we support you directly at the component level. We carry out FMEDA, accompany development in accordance with IEC 61508 and validate complex architectures for safety-related electronics.

Import & Inventory Assessment

Secure market access. We assist with the import of machinery from non-EU countries and the relocation of production lines. We assess the safety status, fill gaps in the documentation and clarify formal compliance so that you do not incur any liability risks when importing.

Special Vehicles & Heavy Industry

Safety in extreme conditions. We secure technology in harsh environments. The spectrum ranges from earth-moving machinery (EN 474) and rail processing machines (EN 14033) to defence technology and process industry plants. We have a thorough understanding of the complex regulations governing these special applications.

Conveying & Packaging

All-round protection. We consider packaging machinery such as film wrappers and strapping machines to be directly linked to conveyor technology. We evaluate implementation on the basis of the EN 415 series and EN 619. In this way, we combine safe transport with standard-compliant packaging.

Consumer Products

Safety for the end customer. Not everything is traditional machinery. That is why we assess electrical appliances such as coffee machines and refrigerators for compliance with the Low Voltage Directive. In this way, we ensure product safety and create the conditions for market access.

The Advantages of Having Us at Your Side

In-depth Expert Knowledge

We don't just scratch the surface. We have the necessary depth of knowledge for complex topics such as the integration of AGVs or functional safety. We thoroughly understand the technical aspects of the standards and deliver solutions where standard knowledge ends.

Future-Proof

We are already dealing with tomorrow's laws today. With us, you will be prepared early on for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), Ecodesign Regulation (ESPR) and Digital Product Passports. We integrate these new requirements into your development processes in good time.

Industry Knowledge

An earth-moving machine in the field requires different measures than a household appliance or a packaging line. We understand the environment and the specific working methods of your industry. Our spectrum ranges from steelworks to products for end consumers.

Holistic Approach

We combine design, machinery safety and control technology. This enables us to solve interface problems between mechanics, electronics and IT. This comprehensive view is essential for securing complex systems.

Legal Clarity

When importing from third countries or classifying consumer products, the legal situation is often complex. We reliably identify all applicable legal acts. We provide reliable statements on liability and avoid grey areas.

Customised Solutions

Rigid checklists do not work for special constructions. We develop concepts tailored precisely to your technology. We find the right approach for interlinked systems, special vehicles, defence technology or electronic components.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Special Solutions

Can You Support Us with AGVs in Accordance with EN ISO 3691-4?

This is one of our absolute priorities. We evaluate the safety functions, navigation, and interaction with the environment in accordance with the current standards. We carry out safety assessments to ensure that the integration of the automated guided vehicles (AGVs) is successful. In this way, we protect the vehicle manufacturer, the integrator, and the operator.

Do you also cover the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)?

The Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) stipulates "security by design." We integrate cybersecurity risk assessments directly into your conformity assessment procedure. We take care of documenting the vulnerability analysis and manage the entire process without you needing in-depth IT programming knowledge.

Do You Assist with the Import of Machinery?

We assist with the import process from third countries. We analyse the safety status of the machinery and compare it with current EU requirements. We then define the necessary measures so that you can legally place the machinery on the market in the EU.

Do You Also Assess Consumer Products?

Products covered by the Low Voltage Directive are an integral part of our portfolio. We assess household appliances and power supplies with the same technical care as classic industrial machinery. We ensure that safety for the end user is guaranteed and that the formal requirements for market access are met.

What Happens if There is No Specific Product Standard for My Machinery?

Specialized applications are our strength. If there is no suitable Type-C standard, this is not an obstacle for us. Based on the essential health and safety requirements (EHSR), we develop a customized concept that corresponds to the current state of the art. We ensure that your machinery meets all legal obligations, providing safety and compliance even for highly innovative or niche technologies.
