Taking special machine construction projects to the next level with innovative automation solutions

Since 1998, automation of special machine construction projects has been part of the portfolio of the owner-managed company Plan B under the management of the two managing directors Thomas Lang and Kai Stindt. With over 25 years of experience in the automation of assembly systems and assembly lines, we have established ourselves as a partner for customer-focused automation for well-known companies worldwide. For Plan B, it is important to find the right application through close communication with customers that meets the specific requirements of the respective company. Whether it is a production plant, a processing machine/station, a complete machine or incomplete machine, a manual work station or pre-assembly station or a load-handling device, the Plan B team will find a suitable solution for you. Our team is as heterogeneous as the industries in which we are active. But what we all have in common is excellent training and many years of experience in the automation of special machines at companies from a wide variety of industries.

The Plan B consulting approach for automation in special machine construction

The Plan B consulting approach in special machine construction begins with a thorough analysis of the complex requirements of your assembly plant or line and the search for solutions for implementation. We develop customer-specific solutions including a specification and requirements document and the design is coordinated in close cooperation with the customer. All solutions can be seamlessly integrated into existing or new assembly lines and aim for maximum efficiency and productivity. Our experts accompany you from the first analysis phase through design, development and testing to delivery, implementation and commissioning to ensure that your special machines are optimally tailored to your needs and fit smoothly into the production process.

In special machine construction we give you this performance promise

„The exact coordination of specific production requirements is even more important in special machine construction projects and therefore has the highest priority.“

For all our mechanical and plant engineering projects – including special machine construction – we guarantee that the end products in their design, construction and execution comply with the relevant basic safety and health requirements of the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.

These are your additional benefits when working with us:

  • Cross-industry expertise: Our team has implemented successful projects in a wide range of industries and brings this diverse experience to every special machine construction project.

  • Owner-managed company: Personal support and maximum reliability through the direct management of Thomas Lang and Kai Stindt.

  • innovative solutions: Using the latest technologies and innovative approaches to always deliver the best automation solutions.

  • Fast implementation: Efficient and rapid implementation of projects through a well-coordinated team and optimized processes.

  • Customer satisfaction: High satisfaction and long-term partnerships through tailor-made solutions and excellent service.

Trust in our technical expertise and experience in special machine construction and make your production and all associated processes ready for future requirements.

Unique know-how for unique solutions

Example of the range of services for special machine construction

The broad qualifications of the engineers and employees in the Plan B team enable the individual development, design and construction of special machines on behalf of our customers. The range of services extends from the manufacture of specific individual parts to assemblies and devices to machines and complete systems.

By precisely implementing individual requirements, new, efficient work processes are created. Plan B's many years of experience, vertical integration and quality ensure that production runs as safely as reliably.

Increasing production efficiency with individual special machines

analysis

Complex requirements are examined in mechanical engineering and a solution for implementation is sought. At the beginning there are general approaches to solutions with their possibilities, advantages and disadvantages for the concrete implementation. To develop a solution or a concept, the requirements are usually taken from the customer's specifications. A specification then describes the implementation and the manufacturing process.

Design

The manufacturing process goes through several iteration loops until the final product can be handed over to the customer. Taking the general conditions into account, a possible concept for implementing the customer's requirements is presented to the customer in a Preliminary Design Review (PDR) and discussed with the customer.

Development

The requirements for the end product are discussed, constructed and finally detailed in several phases. (PDR, CDR and FDR). After discussion and possible adjustments, a Critical Design Review (CDR) is presented to the customer and with the approval after the Final Design Review (FDR), the manufacturing process of the production plant begins. A wide range of information flows into the manufacture of production plants, assembly plants and processing machines. The most important information is about the product, the type and sequence of assembly, the resources required and the people working on the plant.

Test

Before delivery, the production plant/machine is tested for functionality.

Auslieferung

The operational production plant/machine is made available to the customer.
