Process Engineering

Process engineering hereby occupies a key position between mechanical, chemical and electrical engineering. A high degree of interdisciplinary understanding is therefore required. We can provide solution-oriented consulting which takes all the aspects of plant engineering into account.

We have created a 3D planning environment in which the information required for project communication as well as project management in interdisciplinary plant and system engineering can be accessed and made available at any time and from any location.
This can be executed without having to exit the 3D planning environment.

Utilizing the graphical representation enables us to guarantee an efficient interface management process for all database-based systems.
