Implementation and challenge

Wie stellt man sicher, dass man die Wünsche aller erfahren kann? Man fragt alle! Wir haben mit Kollegen von Schaeffler ein interdisziplinäres Projektteam gebildet. Die Kompetenzen erstreckten sich von Ingenieuren zu Pädagogen. Es wurden Umfragen und Interviews weltweit durchgeführt und auch sprachliche Barrieren überwunden. Die Ergebnisse wurden anhand wissenschaftlicher Methoden bewertet und gefundene Lösungen von unseren Innenarchitekten durch Visualisierung in die Realität geholt.

The state-of-the-art production and logistics facility now serves as a hub for HELUKABEL’s technology experts, significantly expanding production capacity in China. The facility produces cables for the Asian market, adhering to European quality standards, and marks a milestone in HELUKABEL’s commitment to excellence and innovation in the region.
