Consulting and engineering for machinery and plant safety
CE marking compliance, safety engineering and maintenance. A single point of contact for the entire lifecycle of your machinery
CE marking is just the beginning
A single point of contact for the entire lifecycle of your machinery
Machinery safety does not end with CE marking.
Machines change: they are updated, reconditioned, their software evolves and regulations change.
Who manages all of this?
We provide consulting and engineering services for machinery and plant safety: gap analysis, risk assessment, CE marking, safety design, OT cybersecurity, retrofit, maintenance and training. Interventions designed to support machinery over time, with a reliable technical partner who knows the history of the plant, documents its evolution and ensures compliance throughout the entire lifecycle.
Manufacturers and users ask us for the same thing: an overall vision and practical solutions.
Two starting points, two types of technical pressure. We support both with the same expertise and a single point of coordination.
Machinery manufacturers need to bring a product to market.
Assessing risks at the design stage, selecting safety solutions, gathering CE marking documentation: tight deadlines and speed of execution are essential. Machinery users, on the other hand, start from an already operational plant that needs to be adapted or updated, under the pressure of production that cannot stop. We support both with the same technical expertise: standards, engineering, operations. The paths are different; the level of technical commitment is the same.
Cybersecurity today is operator safety
A cyber incident on an industrial OT system has physical consequences, affecting the safety of those working with that plant.
Digitalisation has made software, OT networks and remote access integral components of the machine. They influence the behaviour of safety systems under normal operating conditions and in the event of failure or attack. When something goes wrong in the control software, the consequences reach beyond the screen.
The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 has formalised this link, introducing specific requirements on the protection of control systems, software and critical data. We manage this aspect with an approach focused on people safety and operational continuity: OT assessment, verification of CE marking requirements, determination of the Security Level according to IEC 62443.
Safe systems. Trained people. Clear responsibility.
Maintaining safety over time requires up-to-date systems and prepared operators: our services cover both.
A safety procedure that no one updates becomes obsolete. An operator who does not know their equipment becomes a risk variable.
We manage the ongoing maintenance of plants and train those who use them: structured programmes on applicable standards, up to the TÜV Rheinland Industrial Safety Professional® qualification.
Technical responsibility for safety is built over time, with regular checks, documented updates and people who know what to do when it matters.
Technical services for machinery manufacturers and users
A structured offering to manage compliance, safety and operational continuity
We support companies that design, install or operate machinery and production lines with a system of technical services. Each intervention links compliance, safety engineering and operational continuity, to turn complex requirements into applicable solutions that can be managed throughout the machinery lifecycle.

Consulting & Engineering – FAQ
When is a new risk assessment required for an existing machine?
It is required every time the machine changes significantly: retrofit, revamping, hardware or software modifications, new modes of use, changes to the production cycle or updates that affect safety functions. In these cases it is important to verify whether the safety level and documentation remain consistent with the actual condition of the plant.
Do you also handle CE marking after modifications or retrofit?
Yes. We support clients in the technical management of modifications and in assessing the impact on compliance, documentation and overall machinery safety. The aim is not to close a formal procedure, but to restore consistency between the actual machine, regulatory requirements and operating conditions.
Can you manage both the documentation side and the technical interventions on the machine?
Yes. We can intervene both on the documentation side and on the technical-operational side: analysis, risk assessment, CE marking, safety design, OT cybersecurity, retrofit, maintenance and training. This allows us to provide more comprehensive coverage and avoid fragmentation across different suppliers.
How do you manage the safety of machinery and plants throughout their lifecycle?
We work with a continuous logic. Safety does not stop at delivery or initial CE marking: it changes over time together with the machine. This is why we accompany the plant through its evolution, documenting modifications, inspections and interventions, so as to maintain technical control throughout the entire lifecycle.
