Services
We accompany the development of innovative digital software solutions and business models – from the idea to the finished product. In doing so, we leverage the synergies in the HÖRMANN Group.
Guidance
In the first step, we analyse the company to better understand structures and processes. Questions or weak points are discussed in close consultation with those responsible and ideas for solutions are developed. Thanks to our many years of experience and knowledge in the production environment, we are able to solve industrial problems in a sustainable manner and harmonise them with our experience from other HÖRMANN companies. We combine digital knowledge with our experience and work together with the Hörmann companies to drive forward innovations in software development, data science and machine learning.
Co-innovation
With innovation techniques such as design thinking, we define the right solution together. The aim here is to find appropriate solution approaches that can be developed convincingly from the user's point of view on the one hand, but also profitably from the market perspective of the HÖRMANN companies on the other. In addition, HÖRMANN Digital supports the development of business models around the solution through:
- Business knowledge and understanding
- Market information and a broad industry network
- Methodological knowledge and best practice approaches
Development
HÖRMANN Digital offers agile software development and consulting on the topics of software architecture, cloud services and develops appealing design concepts for intuitive operation (UX / UI). We serve as an impulse generator in the ideation and concept phase and validate ideas and concepts together with the HÖRMANN companies within the framework of POC's (POC = Proof-of-Concept) and first testable MVP's (MVP = Minimum Viable Product). The customers of the group of companies thus have the opportunity to use a concept that meets all their needs after only a short period of time. Agile, flexible and cost-responsible, we offer the optimal solution accordingly and also accompany long-term software development projects together with the HÖRMANN companies.
Optimisation
We have in-house Data Science competences and can therefore quickly analyse and understand the situation and the resulting questions: Where are the sources of error in the production process? How do certain factors affect productivity? Why does the same problem occur again and again? Using the right tools and methods enables us to analyse production data and investigate these questions in order to extract appropriate clues for optimisation from the data.
Projects with a sustainable approach
With the development of a digital product in the field of "Connected Maintenance" and the evaluation of sensor data for selected machines at the HÖRMANN Automotive plant, a first application for multimodal, bidirectional communication between maintenance management, maintenance staff and machine operators was created. A continuous statistical, algorithmic evaluation of the IoT and process data in real time enables the generation of tradable information and thus the basis for an effective maintenance strategy.
