ATN Engineering Consulting

Our Philosophy

ATN Engineering Consulting sees itself as a service provider with maximum customer focus. We don’t think in straight lines. We approach your project as an intensive dialogue, guided by your specific expectations regarding time, budget, risk, flexibility and other criteria that you have set. Having clarified and discussed the requirement, and working closely with potential system vendors, we develop recommendations for action and possible alternatives in a partially or fully agile project plan, whose scope and format is clearly coordinated as far as possible.

Customer Workshops

Initial discussions provide the opportunity for a basic introduction to automation projects and how they are implemented. They also focus on questioning existing approaches, identifying new possibilities and finding a common solution. After the workshop, we present the results in a clear format for distribution.

Networking

Thanks to many years of experience we have an extensive network of suppliers and partners for a diverse range of tasks. We also have the expertise to select and refer the required industry contacts.

Newly bundled Engineering Expertise at ATN

The ATN service concept of "One stop shop" has always included a high level of expertise in the technical planning and design of plant construction projects, both in pre-project engineering and the associated consulting for customers, as well as in the design of automation systems in the tendering phase. Based on these many years of extensive experience in the development of automation and application solutions, an independent service unit was formed in 2020 with Engineering Consulting, which has been able to successfully position and establish itself with an even more targeted customer focus and a broad range of tasks, including concept studies, planning projects, support engineering and other services.


This has enabled us to develop new scopes of services across all sectors and acquire new customers. It is not only in our core market – the automotive industry – that we have been able to manage and implement many challenging and exciting projects in recent years. We have also been able to support or develop very interesting projects and visionary ideas in other industrial sectors. You will find an excerpt of the implemented projects listed below. 


We would like to take this opportunity to thank our customers, partners and project partners for the trust they have placed in us. The future holds many new challenges that will require rethinking and the need to automate os constantly growing for manufacturing companies in order to remain competitive. Manufacturing processes need to be rethought, manufacturing knowledge secured through automation and technologies further developed. We look forward to this and will be at your side with our knowledge and ideas!
