Who we consult

Aerospace is an international growth industry, characterized by high-tech and complex mechatronic systems. In terms of total sales, the industry has one of the highest R&D expenditures in Germany. The main growth driver is civil aviation. It is precisely the need for increasingly energy- and resource-efficient innovations and technologies that is driving the high R&D budgets of companies. The topic of innovation is also high on the agenda in the aerospace industry. In this context, the industry is increasingly driven by the transfer of space technologies into practicable solutions suitable for everyday use, in addition to the classic areas of space travel. This ranges from satellite communication and navigation applications to robotics and applications in daily life, such as the medical field. The greatest challenges currently facing the industry lie in the fierce competition on the world market, which is becoming increasingly interesting for emerging industrial nations in particular. This increasingly global competitive environment is forcing companies to increase efficiency and cut costs in all areas of development.

In this challenging environment, we support our customers from the aerospace sector:

• in maintaining and optimizing their R&D capabilities
• on the way from a traditional manufacturing company to a digital player
• in generating breakthrough innovations for the digital future
• in the establishment of an internationally distributed organization and the close integration of partners and suppliers
• in the harmonization of the common process landscape
• in the design and implementation of modular, scalable product kits

The automotive industry is one of the drivers of the global economy and is considered the "industry of industries". In the age of digitalization, both automotive manufacturers and supplier companies are facing arguably the greatest challenges in their long history. The challenges currently facing the automotive industry are large and varied: it must shape the transition from the internal combustion engine to new drive systems, master an ever-increasing portfolio of vehicle types, and at the same time master the transition to autonomous driving. In addition, the industry must also respond to the strong change in the mobility behavior of its customers, because the car is increasingly losing its significance as a status symbol, especially among the younger generation, and modern mobility concepts such as car sharing are becoming more and more popular. In addition, new competitors are entering the market and attacking the established OEMs with these and other new business models. The automotive industry is playing a pioneering role in the fusion of classic mechanical products with digital products and services.

In the context of the upcoming major challenges, we accompany our automotive customers:

• in the design of innovative business models for the mobility of the future and the development of robust development strategies for the volatile markets
• in the shortening and flexibilization of the product development process as well as the transformation to an agile development organization
• in the end-to-end model-based, digital set-up of R&D
• in the design of future-proof vehicle architectures and the effective use of systems engineering to master complex ecosystems.
• in the efficient management of the exploding number of variants
