Quality and Safety
Not a manual, but a mentality.
Foundation
Quality is always mentioned in the same breath as safety. Together they form the foundation of our company and the systems we develop.
Quality
Quality to us means the mentality that makes sure that everything we do is done according to the strict quality requirements that we - together with our clients - set for each project.
These requirements are firstly functional: do our systems and their components possess the properties and characteristics that were determined in advance? We record these requirements carefully and monitor them very closely. But these requirements are sometimes far less tangible. After all, the important thing is not only to meet expectations, but also to exceed them.
Security
Safety to us means the mentality that ensures that everything we do is done according to the strict safety requirements that we - together with our clients - set for each project.
On the one hand, it's about the safety of our employees, suppliers and customers; the machines we work with must be safe above all else. The other concerns food safety, an absolute requirement in the food processing industry.
Certification and qualifications
In addition to our mentality, we have all the necessary certificates and qualifications in the field of quality and safety. Moreover, we have two dedicated employees who oversee this.
