Mechanics, electronics, and software combined

Understanding mechatronics – what distinguishes mechatronic assemblies

Mechatronics becomes exciting when mechanics, electronics, and software are no longer thought of as individual components, but as a functioning unit. That's exactly where we come in: We develop, industrialize, and manufacture mechatronic assemblies for OEMs in the DACH region – from the initial idea to prototyping to series production.

With our locations in Liechtenstein and Germany, we combine mechatronics device manufacturing, a reliable supply chain, and assembled, tested assemblies that go directly into our customers' production lines or end devices – without any detours.

What we do for you – mechatronics from a system supplier perspective

As a system supplier for mechatronics and mechatronic systems throughout the DACH region, we always think in terms of the design-to-deliver process for assemblies, from development to series production. For you, this means that many individual parts are turned into a finished, tested, and documented module – including engineering, prototypes, procurement, assembly, testing, and logistical support. Our role does not end with manufacturing. We structure processes, coordinate supply chains, take care of stocked supplies, and maintain stable series production throughout the entire product life cycle. This reduces complexity on your side while creating greater process reliability, quality, and speed.

  • Prototypes, pilot series, and device manufacturing in mechatronics

    – Development of functional models and prototypes
    – Implementation of pilot series for testing at your premises or those of your customers
    – Transfer to a robust series production process
    – Documentation and testing instructions directly from practical experience

    Goal: To shorten the path from the initial idea to the production-ready mechatronic product.

  • Development & Industrial Engineering (Design-to-Cost)

    – Participation in the concept phase for assemblies and devices
    – Design-to-cost and design-for-manufacturing
    – Selection of components and materials (electronics & mechanics)
    – Coordination with your development team and your system partners

    Goal: Solutions that work in everyday life – technically sound, cost-stable, and suitable for production.

  • Assembly of mechanical and mechatronic components

    – Pre-assembly of mechanical assemblies
    – Complete assembly of mechatronic assemblies, including cabling
    – ESD-compliant workstations, defined assembly processes
    – Assembly of components for small series, series, and variant production

    Goal: Whether switch cabinets, picking modules, temperature control assemblies, or complete units: delivery of ready-to-connect modules.

  • Supply Chain Management & Logistics

    – Procurement of mechanical, electronic, and standardized components
    – Integration of customer-supplied parts
    – Supplier management and risk hedging
    – Warehousing and call-off concepts tailored to your production planning
    – Two locations (LI & DE) for security of supply in the DACH region

    Goal: Mechatronics not only technically, but also logistically.

  • Inspection, documentation, and final testing

    – Electrical and functional tests (end-of-line testing)
    – Parameterization and documentation of test results
    – Traceability according to your specifications
    – Optional: Series-accompanying test concepts throughout the entire product life cycle

    Goal: To ensure that each module fits into your line as specified.

Mechatronic assemblies in use

We deliberately do not mention any customer names here – but many of the situations described will be familiar to you. OEMs in mechatronics often face similar challenges: increasing complexity, scarce resources, demands for shorter development cycles, and the need to establish reliable series production processes. This is precisely where we take responsibility.

FAQs

Initial situation:

A manufacturer of storage and picking systems was looking for a partner to take on a complete module for picking workstations – including mechanics, electronics, lighting, sensors, and documentation.

Our role:

– Development and industrialization of the assembly
– Purchasing of all components
– Assembly, final testing, and documentation
– Packaging and shipping, as well as inventory for short delivery times

Added value:

Instead of managing multiple suppliers and interfaces, OEMs now receive a finished mechatronic module from a single source – with reliable delivery times and a clear point of contact.

Initial situation:

An OEM in packaging technology wanted to migrate an entire generation of machines to a new platform – with a total of several mechatronic assemblies, from mechanics and sensor technology to wiring.

Our role:

– Handling purchasing, assembly, final testing, and documentation
– Establishing structured series production
– Optimizing packaging to reduce transport volume and costs

Added value:

The customer was able to reduce the burden on its internal assembly operations, establish stable series production, and gradually scale up component production – while maintaining consistent quality and predictable costs.

Initial situation:

A supplier of drying systems needed a partner for devices that are partly run as individual projects and partly in small series – with a wide variety of variants and complex mechanical-electronic combinations.

Our role:

– Purchasing components
– Assembling mechatronic modules and devices
– Shipping the finished units directly to the end customer or to assembly locations

Added value:

We act as an "extended workbench" here: the customer can concentrate fully on the application and process expertise, while we ensure reproducible assembly production with a high degree of complexity.

FAQs

Mechatronics combines mechanics, electronics, and software to create functional modules suitable for industrial use. In the OEM environment, this results in assemblies that control movements, detect signals, or reliably execute processes. The precise integration of all disciplines is crucial – so that individual components can be turned into a stable, reproducible system.

We support projects from the early concept phase through prototypes and pilot series to stable series production. This includes engineering, material selection, industrial engineering, purchasing, assembly, final testing, documentation, and stocked delivery.
OEMs benefit from a consistent process that brings together technical, economic, and logistical requirements – with clear contact persons and reproducible results.

Outsourcing reduces internal complexity: fewer orders, fewer quality issues, less assembly work, and lower process risks. A system supplier handles engineering, procurement, logistics, manufacturing, and testing processes from a single source. OEMs receive ready-to-assemble, tested assemblies, can focus internal resources on core competencies, and achieve greater process stability – especially with complex modules or a high mix of variants.

After the joint concept phase, a prototype or functional model is first created. The next step is the pilot series, in which manufacturing processes, testing methods, and materials are optimized. Once all parameters are stable, we transfer the product to series production – including defined assembly processes, documented test procedures, and a scalable supply chain. The result: short start-up curves and a smooth transition from idea to series production.

All assemblies undergo electrical and functional end-of-line (EOL) testing, defined testing processes, and complete documentation. Upon request, we integrate customer-specific test fixtures or testing software. Traceability ensures that each unit remains uniquely traceable – including material batch, test results, and serial numbers. This ensures that quality remains reproducible and auditable throughout the entire product life cycle.

We take care of purchasing, supplier management, incoming goods inspection, and warehousing – including consignment or call-off models. Our locations in Liechtenstein and Germany ensure a secure supply in the DACH region. With stocked series, OEMs can place flexible call-offs and cope with production peaks without long waiting times or risks in the supply chain.
This takes the pressure off internal teams and makes projects more predictable and stable.
