Smart Factory logistics and architecture interface
Context: Swiss precision technology manufacturer planning future production and logistics areas.
Problem: Material flows, functional areas, automation scope, building interfaces, and business case assumptions needed to be made visible before leadership and layout decisions.
What I did: Created logistics planning input, automation scenarios, building-relevant decision lists, 3D discussion material, and assumption control for stakeholders and architects.
Outcome: Clearer planning basis, visible assumptions, and better separation between what to fix now, reserve now, and define later.
Architecture partner for industrial logistics planning
Context: Architecture team needing operator-side logistics input for an industrial building concept.
Problem: Automation footprints, functional areas, dock and staging needs, and internal flows were not stable enough for building planning.
What I did: Defined space needs, flow logic, decision points, and assumptions for warehouse and production logistics interfaces.
Outcome: Improved layout discussions and reduced risk of late redesign.
Greenfield distribution center
Context: Swiss industrial manufacturer with a new automated DC.
Problem: Requirements were incomplete and vendor scopes did not match.
What I did: Built the requirements and tender pack with a scoring model.
Outcome: Comparable offers and a decision-ready recommendation.
GMP site expansion
Context: Global pharma operation in a validated environment.
Problem: Test strategy and acceptance path were unclear.
What I did: Defined test scope, evidence needs, and readiness gates.
Outcome: Structured SAT and acceptance with audit-ready records.
Sensitive high-value parts
Context: Production environment with delicate, high-value, quality-critical components.
Problem: Automation had to support throughput while protecting parts, cleanliness, ESD requirements, and traceability.
What I did: Structured handling classes, protection logic, process boundaries, automation options, and representative test requirements.
Outcome: Concept discussion moved from opinions to part classes, movement rules, and testable assumptions.
Multi supplier integration
Context: DACH B2B retail operation with ERP, WMS, WCS, and automation controls.
Problem: Interface ownership and data mapping were not defined.
What I did: Set the interface matrix and integration test plan.
Outcome: Stable releases and fewer late defects.
Brownfield WMS replacement
Context: Operating DC with legacy WMS and high uptime needs.
Problem: Transition steps and commissioning plan were missing.
What I did: Built a staged transition and acceptance checklist.
Outcome: Controlled commissioning with limited disruption.
Program recovery
Context: Automation program with schedule drift and unclear status.
Problem: Risks and test gaps were not transparent.
What I did: Independent assessment and recovery roadmap.
Outcome: Stabilized plan with clear decision points.
