Project stages

I can step in at any stage. I add the most value across the whole process.

A machine dismantled after FAT and rebuilt at the end customer loses knowledge at every handover. When the same person assembles it and starts it up, the knowledge stays with the machine.

01

Assembly

Electrical and mechanical assembly, per drawings and tolerances.

02

FAT

Factory Acceptance Test, before shipment.

03

Reinstallation

Rebuild at the end customer's site.

04

Commissioning

Full commissioning at the final location.

05

SAT

Site Acceptance Test, together with the client.

06

Preventive maintenance

Scheduled work to prevent unplanned downtime.

07

Service

Ongoing support throughout the line's operation.

Experience

Trained on the line — not at a desk.

14 years of applied mechatronics, a significant part within a global automotive corporation — maintenance, service and commissioning on automated production equipment. Since 2023, working as an independent specialist through MentInd Mechatronics, on pharma packaging lines delivered to some of the world's largest pharmaceutical producers.

I work directly with the client's operators, process engineers, automation engineers and project managers, anywhere in Europe.

“Daniel is an excellent expert at dealing with subcontractors, integrating into international teams, and coordinating them seamlessly. When things got difficult and we were lacking an expert, he independently explored the problem areas (electrical systems, network, etc.), developed solutions, and presented them for rapid decision-making. Daniel was my Electrical Supervisor in a $40 million pharma project.”
Tobias W. Pharma Engineering Project Manager
“I have been working successfully with Daniel and his team for several years now. What I value most is our trustworthy and honest collaboration. They are quick to get up to speed and highly flexible, able to work effectively anywhere in the world. I highly recommend them!”
Steffen L. Group Leader Production
“Exemplary technical skills — electrical, mechanical, pneumatic. I could tell many stories of us staying over 12 hours together on troubleshooting. I really valued the way we discussed situations technically, and his fixes consistently delivered results. I recommend him with confidence.”
Alexandru F. Team Leader Manufacturing Engineering
“Daniel is calm, calculated, and consistently brings a thoughtful presence. He's self-motivated and learns fast, which makes him effective and adaptable to new challenges. Above all, he communicates well and aligns different perspectives toward win-win outcomes. Someone you'd want on your team.”
