We can also offer to you an integrated assistance und project management.

EDS (Electrical Distribution System) Engineering

We take a holistic approach when it comes to providing EDS support, from 3D and electrical engineering, the drafting and design of related components to change management and quality assurance. We always ensure the range of implemented processes and tools correspond to those specified by the OEM/customer, enabling us to increase both our internal and external quality through our own innovative software solutions (DABT).

We work both directly for OEMs as well as their suppliers and oversee projects ranging from the small-scale to the holistic development of customer-specific wiring harnesses.

Wiring

  • Creation of system and cable circuit diagrams using OEM specific tools (EB cable & E³ series)
  • Development of grounding and electrical safety concepts
  • Complexity matrix
  • Preparation of change notifications

3D-Design

  • Virtual line routing with fastening concepts with OEM-specific tools
  • Package and installation space analyses
  • Construction of electronic components
  • Intelligent wiring harness drawings with OEM-specific tools (LDorado, etc.)
  • Preparation of change notifications

Automotive Components Engineering

Our service spectrum focuses on the development of metal and plastic automotive components with prominence given to the required production processes and client-specific demands.

We oversee the project from the conceptual design phase to the production-ready component. Our innovative ideas and know-how gained from over 18 years of project experience ensure we obtain the best possible results.

We also use virtual testing (FEM) to support the development process.

If required, we can use our long-standing partner network to undertake experimental testing and produce prototypes in line with customer requirements.

addsolution AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS ENGINEERING
  • Support and fastening components (for electrical and mechanical components)
  • Interior and exterior components (panels, trims, covers)
  • Active safety systems (crash deformation elements)
  • Shock absorbers and floor mats (multilayer shock absorbers, floor mats, non-woven covers)
  • Sheet metal components as control unit carriers in the front carriage, the undercarriage and the interior
  • Safety-relevant components such as anti-theft alarm system housing, horn brackets, protective covers and deformation panels
  • We develop plastic and metal components along with shock-absorbing and other materials
