Innovation
Introducing new machinery is critical to your company's competitiveness. But innovation moves into virgin territory and brings with it risks and uncertainties. We unburden you to adopt the latest technology. Supported by our technology platforms, our knowledge and the RIWOLUTION Boost your innovation program.

Technology standardization
Our standards take the burden off you as an OEM machine builder. As a system integrator, we invest in our own technology research and development. We standardize our knowledge into technology building blocks. When integrated, these form our technology platforms. We continuously update our platforms with the latest building blocks and test these implementations. They help you bring your system to market faster with the latest technology. With our platforms, we have standardized our knowledge and expertise across three relevant technology pillars: RIMOTE, RIBOTIC and RINEWABLE.
With the RIWOLUTION Boost your innovation program, we work with you to quickly assemble your product system from the right building blocks. We intensively develop and update our building blocks through an open innovation network with companies, educational institutions, and research organizations. This allows us to consistently implement the latest ideas, technologies, and solutions. By remaining open to change and trends, we continue to distinguish ourselves with state-of-the-art technology platforms.
Technology platforms
Every machine or system is unique. But technology is becoming increasingly complex and we see OEM Machine Builders struggling with identical challenges. We at RIWO have taken this challenge and solved it with our platforms. The platforms are combinations of building blocks for those identical functionalities. Together, we can then more quickly create the specific customization that makes your system unique. We call the combination of platforms, building blocks and custom building blocks a product system. We can use that as a subsystem directly as the technical heart of your system. This offers several advantages, such as efficiency, cost savings, flexibility and acceleration of system integration.
Technology building blocks
So the technology platforms are integrated validated combinations of proven building blocks. However, we have a much larger number of building blocks at our disposal. These technical solutions, validated by RIWO, are defined along different systems engineering methods and available to our systems engineers. You work closely with them based on your market knowledge, functional requirements and in-depth understanding of the overall system. By using the technology building blocks, our systems engineering methods get to a total design, realization and production faster. It makes the development of your unique system more cost effective, more manageable and faster to produce.
Teamwork makes the dream work
To stay one step ahead, we regularly seek out partnerships. For example, we collaborate with other companies, government agencies, and research institutions to experiment with areas such as digitization, robotics, and AI. We provide our clients with comprehensive automation solutions, help them get to market faster, and ensure they can stand out from the competition. Because they are doing well, we remain involved in their ongoing development and continue to support them for years to come.
Managing innovation risks
Mitigating risk in innovation projects can be addressed in these different ways. In addition, as part of our project management, a thorough risk analysis forms an important basis. We also set clear and measurable goals to evaluate progress and performance. Furthermore, collaborating with other experienced partners and leveraging their expertise can contribute to more stable project execution. To manage financial risks, we have experience with a variety of grant schemes.
