Project Support & Collaboration
Flexible support of development projects in early and late project phases – tailored to the requirements of OEMs and Tier-1 partners.
Deployment as project-related reinforcement or as overall technical responsibility within existing development teams.
Collaboration on site or remote – structured, standards-oriented and fully integrable into existing processes, PDM systems and quality structures.
Focus on:
– Technical responsibility in the project
– Systematic validation through simulation and tolerance analysis
– Continuous coordination with development, manufacturing and quality
– Reduction of interfaces and iterations
– Sustainable, long-term collaboration
ALUNATEC stands for reliable, traceable and series-ready development results – technically sound, process-safe and economically viable.
The combination of design, simulation, tolerance management, sample building and production equipment technology results in consistent, integrated solutions without unnecessary interface losses.
The goal is not only the development of individual parts – but the reliable implementation of working systems through to series.
