Our expertise on demand
for efficiency that lasts.

Both, depending on size.

The three packages – Tender Package, Efficiency Day, Shopfloor Analysis – have a clear scope and a fixed price. Larger projects are billed by effort; objectives, approach, timing and costs are agreed together beforehand.

Contractually that means: fixed-price packages as a contract for work, on-demand assignments as a service contract. Your contract partner is always POWERJO GmbH.

Manufacturing industry with a focus on food (bakery, confectionery, beverages, coffee), consumer goods, white goods and household appliances, as well as industrial goods such as gas boilers, industrial filters or metal blanks – wherever packaging lines run and processes are automated. We serve pharma and life sciences on the margins.

Yes. CAPEX projects from €50,000 to the tens of millions – from tendering through supplier management and FAT/SAT to acceptance. As interim project management, for as long as you need it.

From a curated network of specialised engineers and technicians. Each one is technically vetted – by someone who has led these projects himself for 40 years. You don’t buy a profile from a database, you get the right team.

The opposite is the goal: enabling instead of creating dependency. As much support as necessary, as much independence as desired – if your team can do it themselves afterwards, it was a good job.

An interim project manager runs your capital project – from tendering to acceptance. When the line is running, he leaves again.

He pays off when internal capacity or experience with packaging machinery is missing, a deadline is fixed or downtime gets expensive.

No fixed salary, no recruiting. A clear start, a clear end.

Billing is by daily or hourly rate, depending on the role. A service technician costs less than a senior project manager.

You receive a quotation with a fixed rate in advance. No hidden costs, no social security contributions, no recruiting fee. The assignment ends with the project.

To get started there are three fixed prices: Tender Package €480, Efficiency Day €1,900, Shopfloor Analysis €3,400 (each plus VAT).

The manufacturer plans around his own machine, the engineering office supplies capacity and drawings. A vendor-neutral on-demand specialist represents only your interests: requirements specification, tendering, quotation comparison, negotiation, FAT/SAT and acceptance. In practice it is often the combination – we tell you honestly which makes sense for your project.

With a requirements specification that describes what the machine must deliver – products, formats, output, availability, interfaces, standards and acceptance criteria – instead of copying a manufacturer’s solution. Plus a quotation comparison matrix so that quotations really become comparable. That is exactly what our Tender Package delivers, vendor-neutral and as a template for future projects.

That depends on the scope – from a few months to more than a year. The typical phases: concept and requirements specification, tendering and award, design and build at the supplier (usually the longest item), factory acceptance (FAT), installation, site acceptance (SAT) and ramp-up. Whoever specifies cleanly at the start saves weeks at the end.

First measure where the line really loses: availability, speed or quality.

Common levers: micro-stops, long changeovers, fluctuating material quality, wrongly set buffers, bottlenecks in the infeed.

The new machine is rarely the cheapest lever. Often adjustment, training and a decoupled bottleneck are enough. The Efficiency Day uncovers exactly that in one day.

What matters is pallets per shift, format variety, staff and ergonomics – not the technology as such.

Cobot, industrial robot or conventional palletiser: all have their place. Often layout and infeed decide the outcome.

We calculate the investment at full cost. And we also say when automation isn’t worthwhile yet.

FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is the acceptance at the manufacturer’s before delivery – with your products and your acceptance criteria. SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is the acceptance after installation in your plant under real conditions. Both should already be defined in the requirements specification, otherwise there is arguing instead of measuring at the end.

We are based in Monheim am Rhein between Düsseldorf and Cologne. The fixed prices of the packages apply within a radius of around 300 km – beyond that we come to you across Europe, with a small surcharge for travel and accommodation. Project assignments take place Europe-wide; occasionally our specialists also fly overseas. The Tender Package runs completely online.

Yes – retrofit, fault analysis, shorter changeovers or better infeed control often bring more than a new purchase. We first check what your line can deliver and only then recommend an investment if it pays off.
