Engineering at OKE

From advance quality planning through sample testing to mass production, we ensure product quality using statistical methods and digitally networked inspection systems. CAQ systems, automated inspection processes, and seamless traceability provide transparency throughout the entire product lifecycle and meet the automotive industry’s most stringent requirements.

We analyze the functions, material selection, manufacturing costs, and assembly concepts of existing products in these application areas. Through material substitution, functional integration, component consolidation, and process optimization, we identify cost-saving opportunities for our customers. For us, however, value engineering means much more than just analyzing CAD data! Based on existing products, we develop concrete optimizations and validate them using actual samples and prototypes. Only then can results be conclusively evaluated and reliably transferred to series production.

We support our customers in the design of plastic components that meet their specifications right from the early stages of development: Through Design for Manufacturing (DfM) and Design for Assembly (DfA), we reduce development times and minimize the need for subsequent rounds of adjustments. We use modern additive manufacturing processes throughout the development cycle to create prototypes, functional samples, and design models. We validate geometries, installation scenarios, and functions using these samples, which correspond as closely as possible to the eventual production parts. This ensures greater reliability and a shorter time to market.
