Weight management

A crucial part of the
product development process

Sustainability is no longer a side-line issue for your business. Don’t you want to reduce the fuel consumption of your vehicles or increase their dynamics? How about complying with legal requirements for payloads or outdoing the competition? Detailed weight management plays a vital role in each of these processes and many more.

From the motor and commercial vehicle sector to the aerospace industry, from rail transport and shipbuilding to armaments and portable electronic devices – weight management lies at the heart of modern technological challenges. It’s essential in the product development process, enabling lightweight design that improves fuel efficiency and vehicle performance.

Helping you make
more informed decisions

Our weight-management consultants at the Technologies Centre are experts in all aspects of the physical weight of components and their influence on centres of gravity, mass moments of inertia, and inertia tensors, for example. Our weight-management process begins with the implementation and the optimisation of methods, strategies, and operations. As a premium data supplier, we help you make the best possible decisions right from the product development stage by establishing strategic, conceptual, or structural lightweight design.

Our interdisciplinary team has over ten years of professional experience in weight management and are leaders in the development of tailor-made solutions, processes, and methods. We work with you to manage all your weight-management requirements or set up a task force for a more limited period to solve individual problems quickly and effectively. We can also support you in setting up a weight-management capability within your own business, analysing and stress-testing processes as well as developing tailor-made tools and IT solutions.
