Innovative solutions for modern manufacturing
Machine and plant development has been one of LTKON’s core areas of expertise for many years. We design and build both robust custom-built machines and complex, fully automated systems for a wide range of industries. Our portfolio ranges from modular automation solutions and conveyor and packaging technology to complete production lines.
Our development work combines modern technologies with practical engineering. This includes:
- digital process optimisation,
- ergonomic and safety-related improvements,
- energy- and resource-efficient concepts,
- intelligent automation solutions.
In this way, we make your manufacturing processes faster, safer and more economical – for production that is sustainable in the long term.
What does mechanical and system development involve?
Machinery and system development encompasses the entire process, from the initial idea through the design phase and engineering to final implementation. This results in bespoke special-purpose machines, single-unit and small-batch solutions, as well as complex production systems that automate and efficiently interlink multiple work steps.
Modern automation technologies play a central role in this. Aspects of Industry 4.0 – including digital networking, integrated quality checks, smart sensor technology and data-driven optimisations – are specifically combined with traditional engineering disciplines such as handling technology, assembly automation and transport and conveyor technology.
Our Services
Specialised engineering
We develop bespoke special-purpose machines tailored precisely to your specific requirements – from initial prototypes through to small-batch production. Each machine is designed to make specific processes more precise, efficient and reliable.
With innovative technical solutions, we enhance both the quality and productivity of your production process. Our goal: bespoke machines that optimise your manufacturing processes in the long term and create genuine competitive advantages.
Plant engineering
By plant engineering, we mean the development and implementation of complete production lines in which several machines are linked to form a fully automated process. This includes, amongst other things, conveyor systems, coating and drying systems, and fully automated assembly processes.
Our aim is to intelligently link individual production steps to ensure high process reliability, precision and maximum efficiency in your manufacturing operations.
Automation
Automated processes are now a key competitive factor. We develop and implement automation technology that is optimally designed for both small and large batch sizes – from precision control and assembly technology to efficient handling solutions for a wide variety of production environments.
With intelligently networked systems, we enhance process reliability, quality and productivity – thereby laying the foundations for economically robust, future-proof manufacturing.

FAQ - Mechanical and Plant Engineering
Custom machine manufacturing refers to the development and production of bespoke machines designed for very specific production tasks. These machines are often produced as one-offs or in small batches and are tailored precisely to the requirements of the respective manufacturing process.
Professional system development is always advisable when several work or production stages need to be automated, integrated or optimised. Typical applications include production lines, assembly systems, packaging processes or other complex manufacturing operations where efficiency, precision and throughput need to be improved.
A project in machine and plant development comprises several defined phases:
Analysis & Consultation
Assessment of the initial situation, requirements and objectives.
Concept Development
Development of technical solutions and design of the machine or plant.
Design & Engineering
Detailed design, including automation and control technology.
Production & Assembly
Manufacturing, assembly and internal functional testing.
Installation & Handover
On-site installation at the customer’s premises, commissioning and final acceptance.
Documentation & Training
Provision of technical documentation and – if required – on-site staff training.
