Design Reviews

Smart Maintenance in Design – a practical design review of internal transport systems, from a maintenance, production and operational perspective. Applicable before release to production and before technical sales.

The practical validation between engineering, sales and operations before decisions become fixed.
Key Points
🧠 Smart Maintenance in design — maintenance thinking already in the design phase.
🧩 Engineering + Sales support — decisions substantiated and clearly explainable to the end customer.
🛠️ Practice-oriented review — maintenance, assembly, safety and production friendliness.
📄 Concrete advice — improvement points and key considerations before release.
Investment
Project-based
Tailored proposal
Aligned with scope, complexity and the desired level of detail.
Including alignment, review (A/B/C) and delivery of a compact prioritized improvement list.
Clear scope and transparent agreements upfront — no surprises afterwards.
Why this service
Many designs are technically correct but prove difficult to maintain, assemble, or operate safely/efficiently in practice. Design Reviews prevent late changes and reduce risks by validating design choices early against maintenance, assembly and line context.
What is assessed
The review is modular. We focus on A, B and C depending on the project and stage.
A • Detail

A. Detail Design Review

Drawings & assemblies — practical validation at component level.

Assessment of accessibility (drives/bearings/chains), maintainability and cleanability (food), safety/guarding, standardization and interchangeability, tolerances and alignment sensitivity.

B • Assembly/Maintenance

B. Assembly & Maintenance Friendliness

Assembly and maintenance in practice – MTTR, accessibility and safe working.

Assessment of assembly sequence, error sensitivity, disassembly without full line dismantling, maintenance access, safe work zones and LOTO application.

C • Layout

C. Layout & Line Integration

Does the design fit within the line context? Space, flow, accessibility and expandability.

Review of layouts regarding maintenance zones, accessibility, logistical flow, integration with existing installations, conflicts/obstacles and future readiness.

Required input
Client- and project-specific. Typically based on drawings/assemblies and (if available) layouts and design premises.
Input

Documents

Assembly drawings (PDF/STEP/viewer), layout drawings (2D/3D), bills of materials (optional), and relevant boundary conditions (environment, hygiene requirements, safety requirements, desired performance).

Output

Delivery

Compact improvement list with priorities (quick wins + design decisions), including explanation per point. Goal: implement before release to production/procurement or use as technical sales support.
