Production & Automation Design

Map the current state, test the future scenarios, and design production and automation that hold up in real conditions. We combine data, dynamic simulation and vendor-independent engineering to reduce risk and right-size the investment.

Use it when you are preparing a new line or site, planning automation, or trying to de-bottleneck a production system that has outgrown its original design.

Your challenges

What's holding you back right now?

Bottlenecks and true capacity limits are asserted rather than measured.
Layouts and flows were designed on slides, not from data.
Several automation options are on the table with no objective way to compare them.
The business case carries risk because CAPEX and OPEX were never validated.
Fragmented systems make it hard to plan people and shifts against the real takt.
Vendors keep proposing technology that does not fit how the plant actually runs.

When it matters

You'll benefit when you are…

Designing a new line, cell or production hall
Planning automation or robotics with multiple viable options
Validating CAPEX and OPEX before investment approval
Resolving throughput problems and queuing on existing lines
Balancing upstream and downstream buffers and work-in-progress
Aligning layout, flows and information systems before go-live
Preparing shift patterns and workforce for a target takt time

Outcomes

What we deliver

A verified concept and business case

Scenarios validated in a dynamic 3D digital twin — equipment counts, robot utilisation, response times, buffers and cost impact.

Right-sized layout and flows

External and internal layouts down to workstation micro-layout, with material routes and buffer design.

A bottleneck elimination plan

Capacity constraints, collisions and idle time identified and removed across the whole process.

Automation selection and RFP support

Manual, semi-automated and automated concepts compared, then vendor-neutral evaluation and negotiation.

An implementation roadmap

Phased rollout with quantified risks and the IT, process, safety and construction impacts aligned.

Shift and maintenance inputs

Scenarios for shifts, maintenance windows and changeovers that protect availability and OEE.

Turn your constraints into a practical, defensible design — before the steel is ordered.

What makes us different

Augment Cloud experts at your service

Vendor-independent concept design that fits real needs rather than product catalogues.
Digital twins for fast scenario testing and risk reduction before anything is built.
A hybrid team of manufacturing consultants, system architects and data scientists.
From strategy to commissioning, including supervision and acceptance testing.
A clear business case with CAPEX, OPEX and sensitivity analysis.

Design is a data problem

Dynamic simulation builds a digital twin of your planned or existing system, letting decision-makers test scenarios under realistic conditions, watch how queues, buffers and resources actually behave, and select a proven option before committing capital. That is what keeps additional costs out of the implementation phase and timelines intact.

Because we are a consulting and technology company rather than one or the other, we also bring forecasting, inventory science and decision support — so the plan stays executable across the wider chain rather than only inside the plant.
