We build future experiences.

Industrial & Product Design

  • Holistic product development

    We accompany and shape the development process from the initial idea to the finished product and beyond. We consider product life cycles, system and portfolio contexts as well as associated services and guarantee the manufacturability, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of our solutions.

Our standards determine our actions:

We develop future-oriented products that meet the highest standards of functionality, ergonomics and visual and tactile quality. With our work, we set new standards for our customers’ product portfolios.

We are interdisciplinary

We don’t draw a line between hardware and software or engineering and design. Interdisciplinary work leads to fewer iterations and noticeably better results. We set new benchmarks for a wide variety of industries and with a wide variety of technologies and lead your product to sustainable market success.

We weigh up hypotheses instead of making predictions

No one can predict the future. However, different future scenarios can be strategically explored and designed. The design futuring approach relies on agile thinking and action in order to be prepared for possible futures.

Helpful visualizations

The decision-making process is essential for good and efficient product development. Through visual preparation, the connections and effects of design decisions quickly become clear and understandable for everyone. Perfect formal design is not always required. Even lightweight drawings create shared understanding in seconds and accelerate decision-making.

We offer a wide range of concepts to create concrete solutions

In order to narrow down ideas and possibilities after the ideation, we support your product development with the right amount of solution diversity, visual significance and your engineering know-how.

We create design DNA across portfolios

We define potential design features for product families as early as the initial product conception stage. On this basis, we develop design manuals and thus pave the way for future product portfolios.

Integrated design process

Our aim is to combine design and functionality to create products that are both technically sophisticated and visually compelling. We promote the synergy between designers and engineers to create user experiences that are both useful and aesthetically pleasing in order to create successful products in the long term.

Holistic product realization

Our development process combines conception, development and market launch to create products that are functional, aesthetic and sustainable. This approach aims to meet user needs while generating positive effects for society and the environment by understanding each product as part of a larger system. Holistic product realization represents the future of industrial design – intelligent, sustainable and user-centered.

HMIs in driver cabins

Based on our many years of experience in developing driver cabins for different areas of application, we have developed a guide with specific tips. The focus is on user-centeredness and the successful interaction of hardware and software operation.

A user-centered design process leads to successful products that offer true added value – both for the users and their environment as well as for the producing company.

Collaborative prototyping innovation system

We accompany and shape the development process from the first target image to the future-oriented product on the market and beyond. We consider product life cycles, system and portfolio contexts as well as associated services and guarantee the manufacturability, cost-effectiveness and sustainability of our solutions.

We make the future tangible

We transform industrial design by using VR and digital technologies to create realistic product prototypes. This allows us to quickly collect feedback, iterate, and provide users with an immersive experience before physical production. In this way, we open up new avenues for innovation and accelerate the entire design process.
