Process Development

COMPETENCIES

Processes Built to Run Reliably

Designing, validating and preparing processes for volume production. The process-technology center, tool shop and international tool procurement are coordinated in order to quickly implement decisions. Automation and inspection are integrated early to ensure production runs predictably.

SERVICE PORTFOLIO

Process Development for
Stable Volume Production

Automation & Inspection Processes

In the automation and testing process phase, we integrate handling, testing and monitoring to ensure process stability and quality in series production.

Automation Solutions
  • Handling concepts and assembly automation through to robotic implementation
  • Reduces manual steps and stabilizes cycle times and process flow
  • Inspection concepts from incoming goods inspection to end-of-line testing
  • Early defect detection and documented quality in the production process
  • Continuous process monitoring with defined escalation paths
  • Reduces scrap, downtime and deviations in volume production
Process-Analysis & Technical Center

In the process-analysis and technology-center phase, we test and optimize processes under near-production conditions in order to ensure a safe transition to production.

Testing in our in-house process-technology center
  • Development and validation of robust processes under production conditions
  • Rapid iterations prior to production launch and production release
  • Optimization of cycle time, temperature management, demolding and material behaviour
  • Stabilization of the process window for reproducible component quality
  • Near‑production trials as the basis for reliable production release
  • Structured transition from near‑production operation to volume production
Quality & Certification

Process Reliability Across the Entire Production Flow

Quality in process development follows a clear sequence of validation, automation, production readiness and monitoring, supported by certified standards and defined approvals. In the process-technology center, processes are validated under near-production conditions and transferred to volume production as a stable process window, with a focus on cycle time and component quality.

Ongoing monitoring makes deviations visible at an early stage and enables targeted corrections before they influence the series.

Why Bretthauer

Your Process Development Partner for Plastic Injection Molding

Near-Production

We test and validate processes under near-production conditions to ensure a reliable and predictable transition to volume production.

Implementation Strength

Short lead times in the tool shop and in production enable rapid iterations, adjustments and stable production launches.

Integrated

Automation and testing are integrated into the process concept at an early stage in order to ensure quality directly in the process.

Process-Reliable

Defined analyses, monitoring and clear escalation paths stabilize the process window and reduce defects in production.
