Can we automate only part of an existing production line?

Yes. It is not always necessary to replace the entire production line. We evaluate the automation of individual operations and the integration of new equipment into the existing process, taking technical compatibility into account.

Can a production line be built in stages?

Yes, provided the chosen technical solution allows for it. The line can be designed with future expansion in mind, enabling the initial investment to be tailored to current needs.

How much does production line automation cost?

Costs depend on the complexity of the process, the necessary equipment, the desired throughput, and the level of automation. Once your requirements have been assessed, we can prepare a tailored proposal.

How long does production line design and implementation take?

The project timeline depends on the line configuration, the scope of design work, the complexity of the equipment to be manufactured, and the required integration. We will finalize the implementation schedule once the technical requirements have been agreed upon.

Do we need a detailed technical specification before the consultation?

No. It is sufficient if you can describe the existing production process, the problem, and the desired outcome. Together, we will evaluate potential next steps and the information required to launch the project.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING OUTSOURCING

Engineering services that complement your in-house team

Get the engineering expertise you need to develop production equipment and industrial products. From mechanical design and CAD modelling to technical drawings, bills of materials and technical documentation.

Discuss engineering requirements

You handle manufacturing. We support you with engineering.

Not every company needs a permanent design engineering department. Even with an experienced production team, engineering capacity constraints or a lack of specialized expertise can slow the realization of technical ideas.

For manufacturers of production equipment

Turn your engineering ideas into detailed CAD models and drawings so your team can focus on manufacturing and assembly.

For industrial product developers

When one operation cannot process the volume needed by the next stage, bottlenecks emerge, causing work-in-progress buildup, waiting and unused production capacity.

For companies with limited engineering capacity

Manual handling and process variations can cause inconsistencies, increasing the risk of defects and rework.

More efficient production starts by identifying constraints, not simply buying another machine.

From CAD to manufacturing-ready documentation

Bring in Design Tree for individual engineering tasks or broader mechanical design projects. We tailor the scope of our services to your project's needs.

01

3D CAD modelling

We create detailed 3D models of parts and assemblies to verify designs, align technical solutions and prepare for manufacturing.

02

Engineering calculations and component selection

We perform the engineering calculations required for the project and assess component suitability, so technical decisions reflect actual loads, requirements and operating conditions.

03

Electrical engineering design

We develop electrical schematics and help integrate electrical and electronic components into the overall machine design according to project requirements.

04

Manufacturing and assembly drawings

We prepare part and assembly drawings containing the technical information needed for manufacturing and assembly.

BOM and technical documentation

05

We prepare bills of materials (BOMs) and other agreed technical documentation to simplify procurement, manufacturing and future equipment maintenance.

How does our collaboration work?

A transparent engineering process makes it easier to align requirements, evaluate technical decisions and prepare the materials your team needs.

01

Defining the design brief

We discuss the project goals, technical requirements, available materials and the scope of the required design work.

02

Evaluating technical solutions

We choose a suitable design approach based on functionality, manufacturing capabilities and other project constraints.

03

Developing and approving the design

We create CAD models, perform the necessary calculations and agree on key design decisions before finalizing documentation.

04

Delivering technical documentation

We prepare and deliver the agreed CAD models, drawings, bills of materials and other documentation required for the next project phase.

Experience ranging from individual mechanisms to production lines

Design Tree's experience covers mechanical engineering projects of varying complexity, from simple roller conveyors to complete filling lines.

COMPLETED PROJECTS

Working with machines and mechanisms of different sizes enables us to assess designs not only from an engineering perspective, but also in terms of manufacturability, assembly and practical use.

Manual vs Semi-Automatic vs Automatic Filling: Which Is Right for Your Production?

As production demand grows, manual filling processes can become a significant limitation for manufacturers. What once worked efficiently for small production batches may eventually lead to capacity constraints, inconsistent filling volumes, increased labour requirements and higher operating costs. For manufacturers of liquid products, such as cleaning detergents, beverages and other bottled liquids, transitioning to semi-automatic or fully automatic filling equipment can help
