Modular Engineering for Your Industry

How do you build modularly in your industry?

Different products. The same challenge.

MODULAR5 works with machine builders, trailer builders, shipyards and housing manufacturers. But the problem we solve is not tied to one sector.

Do you build complex products in low volumes, with a lot of customer-specific engineering? Then you will probably recognize this:

• Every order is engineered as if it were the first one.
• Quotations take weeks, because the price is only clear once the design is done.
• Your engineers spend their days firefighting instead of improving the product.
• The number of variants and unique parts keeps growing.
• Sales promises custom solutions that engineering has to make work afterwards.

If that sounds familiar, your sector matters less than you think. The cause is the same everywhere: variation that is not under control.

Where our approach works

Our approach fits every company that builds engineered, configurable products in low volumes and a high mix. Besides our four core industries, think of:

• Packaging, sorting and handling machines
• Water treatment and process installations
• Special vehicles and mobility solutions
• Container handling and port equipment

And any other organization where every order starts on the drawing board.

Different products.
Same principles.
Your own configurable platform.

The same method, applied to your products

Every trajectory starts with a Potential & Feasibility Study: a focused scan of your portfolio of about four weeks, resulting in a business case and a roadmap.

We map where variation occurs in a Variation Heatmap, define a modular product architecture with fixed interfaces, and build the master models, configurable BOMs and configuration rules that make it work in daily practice.

Limit internal variation.
Keep customer choice.

Consultancy and engineering in one team

Many modularization initiatives stall at the moment the real engineering work begins. The internal organization simply has no capacity to build modules, master models and templates alongside the running order book.

That is why MODULAR5 combines consultants who guide strategy, choices and governance with engineers who do the actual modeling and structuring work, including our dedicated engineering team in India.

From strategy to realization.

What it delivers

Companies that make this step typically see:

• Up to 50% reduction in unique parts
• Up to 90% reduction in engineering hours on configurable orders
• Shorter quotation lead time and a higher win rate
• Faster delivery through parallel building
• Higher first-time-right and lower cost of failure
• Better lifecycle upgrades and serviceability

Not sure if it applies to you?

Tell us what you build. In a short call we look at your products together and tell you whether a modular approach makes sense for your company, and where the biggest gain is.

Whatever you build: if it is engineered per order, it can become a configuration.

Is your industry next?

MODULAR5 combines product strategy, modular architecture and engineering implementation to help organizations move from complex, engineered products to scalable, configurable product platforms.

From strategy to realization.
