We guarantee smooth project processes through effective planning, resource management and experienced teams that meet your expectations. Be this at your place or at ours on site.
Our customized JKS approaches take into account the uniqueness of each project. We understand that flexibility, aplomb, as well as accommodation and adaptability game are crucial to achieve an efficient and optimal solution path.
Engineering as a Service (EaaS)
For years, the JKS Group has been supporting customers on site with its experienced project managers. Whether this is in the function of a sub-project manager, a project coordinator or an overall project manager, it makes no difference to us.
Your benefit from our support is based on the experience of countless successfully implemented projects. Our project managers are used to working in an interdisciplinary manner and maintain a communicative and interactive style.
We support you in setting up the project from A-Z. This can include: the project organization, the project structure plan, planning of the necessary tasks, sprints, milestones and necessary review meetings. Last but not least, we are used to carrying out appropriate project controlling in relation to the schedule, the project costs and the content to be delivered.
JKS projects
If you entrust us with your tasks, we will carry them out conscientiously and in accordance with the latest project management knowledge.
Our sophisticated project management system, which tracks your project on a weekly basis, is implemented using the latest project management tools. Of course, you have the option of receiving an overview of the status of the project at any time and attending the relevant meetings live or online.
We carry out the projects in accordance with your desired project management standards. If you wish, we can also provide you with the project management standards we have developed.
Experience
JKS has experience ranging from projects for the development and manufacture of the smallest assembly aids to projects for highly complex systems, which we carry out as a general contractor on behalf of our customers.
The size and duration of the project, depending on the order, is often variable and ranges from a few months with a few employees to projects lasting months to years with entire JKS teams or a mixture of customer and partner employees.
Due to our internationally distributed Maprox products, JKS also carries out projects worldwide.

Analyzes
A customer from the railroad electronics sector asked us to carry out a feasibility analysis of a future system. The analysis and the resulting findings were so positive that we were able to successfully support the customer in their new project for around 3 years. The result was a completely new, cost-optimized, modular system that met the high requirements of the railroad standards.

Insight into our projects
Welding robot

The project
For a customer who manufactures stainless steel containers for the food industry, we developed and produced a complex welding machine in 6 months that can combine several work steps.
The realization
We built a welding robot that stands in the middle and can work in a star shape at 3 stations. In the first step, the feet are welded on. This is done with the help of an elaborate clamping device that enables precise welding. In the next step, the lid is welded on and finally, in the last step, the lid and base are assembled.
The bottom line
The customer has since outsourced the production of these containers to France, where our machine still welds and welds and welds...
Security system
4 years
Switzerland
Certifications
We developed a new safety system for one of our customers over a period of 4 years. The project included project management, coordination with the customer’s various internal departments, various standards bodies and the TÜV. The result of this intensive collaboration was a certified system with AR / IoT quality assembly and control that was produced in large quantities.
Project content
Definition of the certification criteria, product development of the prototype up to the TüV-certified series product, development of the assembly & production process and associated AR & IoT tools, documentation of the entire production & series production process as well as the information requiring verification
