The engineering firm
from Hamburg
that actually
engineers
We work with you to solve real-world technology challenges in electronics, mechatronics, software and networks.
We build it right and we build it fast, delivering results your customers will notice.

Engineering is boring – and exciting
Engineering is boring. It requires rigorous application of an unforgiving method. There are no shortcuts, there is no easy way out - you want an engineered product, you have to do the engineering.
People who sell you anything else don't tell the truth. They build castles in the sky, and suddenly, your project misses deadlines, does not function in the field, or worst of all, does not even solve your customers' problem.
We embrace how complex and tedious engineering is. This enables us to build systems with you that deliver immense value, to help you build a business that lasts.
Engineering is also exciting! Through engineering, we get to shape the world as we know it. A technical system does not exist in a vacuum, but interacts with the world, and the world interacts with it.
People who just look at the technical problem miss the context in which the solution needs to work. Failure to deliver is usually a failure to consider the system's environment, including the humans involved.
When you work with us, you do not just get blueprints, you get solutions that you own and will build your future on.
Today's economy runs on hype more than ever, but sustainable business requires consistent commitment. By investing in solid systems you create the foundation for your future success.

The problems you're probably facing
Here's what we see when companies call us:
- Technical solutions that work in isolation but break the moment you try to integrate them
- "Engineering" decisions that seemed smart at the time but create issues downstream
- Teams constantly firefighting instead of making meaningful progress
- Critical knowledge locked in the head of one person who might leave tomorrow
Sounds familiar? These aren't just random headaches.
They are symptoms of something deeper: The engineering method isn't being applied consistently across your organization.
Eventually, your core business starts creaking under technical debt and you can't innovate fast enough to stay competitive. Business opportunities might slip through your fingers because you can't deliver on time – or at all.
Such issues are not about being universally "good" or "bad" at engineering, they are about competitive engineering being multidisciplinary.
We enable your core business by filling critical gaps in your systems engineering capabilities.
How we actually work
We don't just engineer your technical systems, but also the development process itself.
What does that mean in practice? We look at the whole system – not only the code or the hardware, but the people, the processes, the constraints you're working under. We model reality as it actually is, not as we wish it were, and we test our assumptions early and often.
On the technical side, we work hands-on and develop solutions built upon a broad technology stack, which consists of four main pillars:
Electronics
Mechatronics
Software
Networked Systems
The technology changes, but the underlying challenge – making different parts of a system work together reliably – remains the same. To solve this challenge and deliver practical solutions is our core strength.
Who we work with
Over the years, we've been working closely with scientific startups, precision instrument manufacturers, chipmakers, state agencies and about everyone in between.
As a result, we've been exposed to a wide range of applications that spans industrial automation, high-speed imaging, motion control, neuroscience, IT operations and more.
Our expertise lies in our experience integrating with your organization to deliver the right change, the right way.
You don't just get "deliverables"
You get solutions you can understand, modify and build upon. We create systems that strike the balance between doing things properly and moving fast enough to matter.
We scope projects clearly from the start and pay attention to the human factors that make or break adoption. High acceptance rates don't happen by accident – they happen when you consider how real people will actually use what you're building.
Our clients regain something they've often lost: Technical ownership - a renewed sense of control and capability within their own domain.
When we're done, you're not dependent on us or anyone else to keep moving forward.
Call us when...
- You have projects that have been running for months or years with no end in sight, while new "urgent" projects keep getting piled on top
- You lack a clear perspective on what to do next and feel like you've exhausted your options
- There's a growing gap between what you want your technology to do and what you can actually build
- You've hit a wall and the usual approaches aren't working.
We see it repeatedly: Businesses get stuck in innovation quicksand. They start chasing trends instead of trusting their own strengths. Years of coasting have eroded their ability to deliver new capabilities internally, and eventually, issues start to show:
If any of this rings true, we should talk.
Getting started with us
We're equipped to handle organizational resistance and unclear requirements because we've learned that figuring out what needs to be done is half the work.
There might be straightforward implementation projects out there, but we haven't found many. Since there is no one-size-fits-all approach, we tailor every project to the clients' unique needs.
