Your idea
Do you want to develop a first-class product?
Are you looking for someone to realize your product idea, a special product requirement or your individual agricultural machine quickly and professionally? Your idea should not only be visualized, but take shape? This requires interdisciplinary knowledge in agricultural machinery theory and, above all, in agricultural practice.
Our expertise
Our designers shape your idea.
We have an agricultural background, a craftsman’s education and many years of design experience with agricultural machinery manufacturers. As a result, we passionately design engineering solutions with interdisciplinary knowledge that work great for you or your customers in the field and are affordable in your manufacturing.

How we work and what makes us a partner.
In various designs, we also test approaches for you that may not look promising at first, but have great innovation potential. This reveals important issues and feasibility during design. Together with you, we will then choose the favorite from the variants. The simplest solution is the goal for us.
Unknown forces in the design of components are a recurring challenge in agricultural engineering. Through our empirical values and measurements we find out these forces. Before we start the FEM analysis, we like to calculate our components by hand. In a further iteration, the FEM analysis makes the exact force distributions visible and the previously created hand calculation shows the plausibility of the results.
Only when you are completely convinced by the design and it has been agreed with you, do we start with the detailed design. Our focus is on functional reliability in the field, ease of use by the user, manufacturing and production costs. Because we know from experience that 80% of your manufacturing costs are already determined with the design.
This is a very big difference for us compared to classic mechanical engineering. We know that we have to use 50% of our development time for the production-ready 3D design and another 50% to translate this design into 2D drawings. Therefore, we save as many 2D drawings as possible for the creation of your prototype and manufacture your assemblies directly from the CAD model. This will save you time and money!
In our prototyping shop, we bring your idea to reality. We attach great importance to the fact that the earthworker/designer also staples or assembles the assemblies. Our focus is on the documentation of feasibility and manufacturing. Good prototype construction and corresponding optimizations save you money in series production.
Our selected software tools, e.g. NX and Teamcenter, as well as the digital processes in Humbee, are completely aligned with efficient documentation and processing of tasks in the development environment. As a result, we do not have a field of tension between production and development, as is often the case in manufacturing companies. With us, you save time and money in product development.
01.
Discussions and workshops with customers and users are the foundation for your new product with production sophistication, unique selling points and market success. Crucial in this process are the questions that are asked. They help to outline the goals and requirements.
02.
In the application-related conception we systematize the ideas up to the structured solution. At the end of this process, the feasibility of each idea must be proven in the CAD model.
03.
Production-ready design is time and cost efficient, eliminating the need for additional 2D design drawings wherever possible.
04.
The interface to the manufacturing of the prototype is in our focus. In our eyes, this is the secret of a design that is suitable for production. When the designer has to bring his own design into reality himself during initial assembly, he notices all the errors. We therefore monitor the production of the prototypes very closely – particularly with regard to costs and quality. Due to the good communication with our clients, changes can also be implemented quickly.
05.
For us, the support of pre-series production represents the best opportunity to uncover optimization potential in series production at suppliers and subcontractors as well as to create clarity for the following series production. Our claim is that a new product is also “loved” in your production.
06.
By consistently focusing on prototyping, production and subcontracting, we quickly and cost-effectively achieve a balanced, high-quality product that is fully ready for the market.
Industry experts
Our engineers can also support you.
Do you have a development challenge that you could use support with?
We know from experience that asking the right questions helps to create an innovative product or an outstanding technical solution. As your partner, we would like to assist you with these questions and develop your individual machine.
Let us clarify initial details during a non-binding conversation. This allows us to prepare the right workshop questions for you. This is how we get to know you and understand your idea. The goal of the workshop is a concept, which you can then bring into realization either with us or by other means.
