Machine upgrades and repairs
Explore our offer
Faced with production challenges, process engineers are often required to solve problems with machinery and production lines. The causes are often complex, and the solutions require ingenuity.
We continuously share knowledge and ideas with our clients, implementing solutions to improve the production process. Our executions are characterized by a combination of expertise in industrial automation, mechatronics, machine safety, and industrial computing.
Over the course of several years, we have successfully implemented hundreds of solutions. Therefore, we are ready to take on unconventional tasks where we can leverage our experience effectively.
Below, we present just a sample of #solutions that can serve as inspiration!

Modernization of the APS dehumidifier final inspection station
APS is a compressed air preparation system for the pneumatic system in a heavy-duty truck. Its task is to properly dry the air. Moisture condenses in undried air, causing corrosion, and in winter, water freezes, blocking components. Therefore, quality control during assembly is extremely important for the manufacturer. What is our solution here? A completely new rotary workpiece fixture and the entire automation and safety system.
Now, each time we read the number from the barcode to identify the product in the database, and after the test is completed, we assign a post-inspection status to the database. Using a vision system, we check for the presence of engravings and nameplates. The clear control panel of the workstation clearly indicates the result of each stage of inspection.
Now the workstation meets all customer requirements, so we are satisfied too!
Renovation of the water filling station for washing machines
Sometimes, the #issue lies simply in the operational wear and tear combined with inherent imperfections of technologies once applied. After many years of operation, our client’s water filling test station looked dramatic, all due to past solutions that caused water spillage. Everywhere there was scale and rust, and although seemingly insignificant during testing, the device would eventually fail to operate. Our #solution was not only to renovate the station but to #improve it.
We crafted a 3D-printed ABS spout, achieving high laminar flow. Water no longer splashes all over the workstation!
Double sheet metal detection head
Not all components in our clients’ production lines always function correctly. Sometimes the #issue lies in poorly designed machine parts that have never worked properly. That was the case here. The factory-installed head, which checks whether the sheet taken from the stack has not stuck together, often jammed. This resulted in false alarms and line stoppages. We improved the line manufacturer by implementing our #solution. The new head is more innovative and therefore 100% reliable. How our #solution works can be seen in the video.
Mounting position laser indicators
In household appliances, various foam elements are manually attached, making human error common. The #issue to be addressed was indicating to production operators where to place the foam spacers during the assembly of two layers of the washing machine lid. The client asked us to develop a #solution. After brainstorming, we decided to propose laser marker displays. The implementation was swift, especially since we could design and produce such impressive projectors ourselves using 3D printers :).
Aesthetic, precise engravings on control panels and accurate markings have long been our standard.
Previewing the assembly of a hose clamp using a camera
Makeshift solutions are often the most durable, but eventually, even they come to an end. In the first picture, you can see how the assembly process was originally observed here. This large element is a washing machine assembly unit. It needs to be connected to the water inlet and outlet. The outlet, in the form of a hose, was attached to the bottom of the module. So, the operator at the workstation didn’t have an easy task. They either had to squat for 8 hours and look underneath, or… well, something else. Until now, a mirror was used. Probably from a bus :), we don’t know that. The solution was better than squatting, but still required the operator to lean under the module and look into the mirror while assembling the drain hose… not very convenient, and time-consuming. And finally, our #solution! A precisely aimed camera, whose frame perfectly covers the assembly area of the hose and hose clamp. The camera is housed in a protective casing to protect it from damage. The monitor is positioned so that the operator does not have to strain their spine. Anyone who has ever had to work in an uncomfortable position will appreciate such a #solution.
