KWMS Consulting Digital

Transformation through technology and expertise

Technology is changing markets, business models and the way companies work. We translate these developments into concrete decisions for your company – and support your digital transformation in an integrated, coordinated and scalable way, all the way to new business.

We help our clients use data and artificial intelligence effectively, modernise their IT landscape, optimise and automate operations, unlock digital growth and build the capabilities of their teams.

Industry understanding meets functional excellence

Change that works.

Every engagement draws on more than 30 years of experience in procurement, industry and IT and on a well-established network of specialists in ERP, data architecture, software development, automation and change – assembled per project and led from a single point.

This is how change that works comes about: together with you, we build the culture and capabilities your company needs to stay agile and innovative for the long term.

Robotics & Automation

Robotics is becoming indispensable for mid-sized companies.

Skills shortages, rising quality requirements and smaller batch sizes are changing production. Together with new developments in AI, robots make automation economical for small series and changing tasks for the first time. The value, however, only comes with integration into processes and enterprise software.

01

Collaborative robots

Cobots work next to people without safety fences – for assembly, machine tending, inspection and packaging.

02

Mobile robotics

Autonomous transport robots connect warehouse, assembly and shipping and relieve intralogistics.

03

AI-based perception

3D vision, LiDAR and edge AI let robots recognise, grip and inspect parts.

04

Open software platforms

Robot software based on ROS 2 connects hardware from different manufacturers with your systems.

05

Service robotics

Inspection, cleaning and monitoring – where distances are long, environments harsh or tasks monotonous.

06

Pilot before investment

Rental and pilot models make feasibility and benefits measurable before the investment decision.

What matters is a comprehensive requirements specification that describes robot cell, safety, data and enterprise software together.
