Our approach

Our production specialists work closely with the logistics, architecture, and IT teams throughout the entire project. Under the guidance of our central project management, the interdisciplinary teams jointly develop solutions for digital factories of the future – based on expertise from the various areas and with a holistic view of all details.

Planning and implementing production facilities, logistics buildings and the related IT is both exciting and complex, and makes every single project at io extremely interesting! No project is ever just a “copy-paste” of something else! A special aspect is the detailed preliminary talks with the client, prior to the project start, to discuss exactly what the project will entail, along with the potential risks and possible coping strategies. This all helps to develop a common sense of teamwork. I also really appreciate the open exchange of views across all hierarchical levels at io and the opportunities to take on responsibility at an early stage.
