Our Services

The issue of sustainability is increasingly becoming a focal point in society. Our experience shows that the financial sector is also increasingly taking center stage. A good example of this is the financing of startups, as a sustainability report must be prepared even during the initial phase (Stage 1) of production. The sooner systems such as sustainability management—coupled with environmental management—are implemented within the company, the easier it will be to meet all political and societal requirements as the company grows.

We are happy to assist you in preparing a life cycle assessment, which serves as the basis for a sustainability report and is a component of certification according to DIN EN ISO 14001. Life cycle assessment ensures transparency within your own company by collecting key performance indicators, evaluating them, and developing countermeasures. The results are then incorporated into the sustainability report.

A phased approach is recommended for preparing a life cycle assessment. In Phase 1, specific goals are formulated and defined within the scope of the study. In the subsequent phase, the life cycle inventory is compiled. This involves collecting all data related to emissions and resource extraction that occur or have occurred in operational processes (inputs, outputs, intermediate products, or residues). The impacts of the emissions are assessed in the third phase. This requires the correct selection of an appropriate impact assessment method, through which all emissions are converted to CO₂ equivalents. The final, fourth phase is the evaluation. Assessments of completeness, sensitivity, and consistency are key components. In life cycle assessment, agile approaches are also a fundamental requirement, enabling the phases to be repeated, refining the content in the process and gaining new insights.

“Seizing opportunities” is the motto guiding the transition from analog to digital production. Of course, working “at the heart” of our customers’ production processes in all our projects requires careful planning, since—in the context of the “Industrial Internet of Things” (IIoT), we must also adapt or even rethink processes to optimally align them with the possibilities of digitalization—the initial effort involved is not to be overlooked. However, everyone is familiar from their personal lives with companies that have evolved from toolmakers to solution providers, or even bookstores that have become globally positioned “box movers.” Whatever one may think of such developments, no one is alone in their market, and even niches emerge and evolve; in our view, flexibility and adaptability are the order of the day.

As factory planners, we understand how important digitalization is and would like to support our customers in their transformation with the following services:

• Development of digital business models (methodical application, e.g., of the Business Model Canvas)
• BI – Business Intelligence (applications and methods for collecting internal and external data)
• IIoT – Industrial Internet of Things (digitalization and networking of plants, machines, processes, logistics, and quality control in factories)
• AI – Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (automated analysis of large data sets, e.g., through the creation of decision trees/patterns)
• Digital Twin (digital representation of sites, entire plants, production areas, and individual machines)
• Support with sensor selection and hardware design
• Predictive maintenance (starting with condition monitoring)
• Remote maintenance in augmented reality

To ensure that all of this isn’t just empty talk—but rather that we can discuss all the benefits and implications and find an optimal solution—we’ve created our Innovation Space, a place where you can explore all of this and work with us to agree on a customized solution. It’s a journey—let’s embark on it together!

Visit us in person or virtually at our Smart Factory to gain insight into the digital transformation of tomorrow’s factories. We look forward to seeing you!

We handle planning throughout the entire life cycle of a factory—from the initial concept to turnkey handover. Since the size and scope of a project do not always require the planning of entire factories, we also specialize in providing partial services, such as the hook-up planning for process-related infrastructure.

Regardless of a project’s complexity, the right combination of partners is crucial to the project’s success. In this regard, as part of general planning, we can draw on an extensive network of various engineering firms both within and outside the HÖRMANN Group, but we also collaborate just as successfully with partners specified by the client.

This enables us to offer services that go beyond traditional factory planning, such as architectural and structural engineering, building services engineering, permitting planning (in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act (BImSchG) or the Building Code (BauG)), expert reports and statements, and component design.

Our commitment to providing all engineering services from a single source offers our clients the advantage of dealing with just one contractual partner. Second, it ensures that all project participants remain focused on the project goal through a holistic planning approach. In doing so, we manage the interfaces between the various disciplines and oversee project implementation as well as the required documentation. Adherence to deadlines and the project budget is also a central focus, providing planning certainty for all parties.

We look forward to discussing the project requirements with you and are available to assist with project implementation, drawing on all our technical expertise and experience. Please contact us!
