DarkFab Automation GmbH — short for Dark Fabrication — combines years of industry experience with modern automation, intelligent software and efficient material flow solutions.
We are a young company with experienced minds and a clear ambition: to make production and logistics processes simpler, more efficient and future-proof. We think holistically. From a single machine to automated systems and production lines all the way to the networked Dark Factory, we combine classic automation technology, software, data and automated guided vehicles (AGVs) into individual solutions.
Our particular advantage: automation, software and material flow come vendor-independently from a single source with us. From the initial process analysis through planning and engineering to AGV integration and commissioning, we support our customers end to end.
“ As a full-service partner we support you vendor-independently and in stages that build on one another — all the way to an autonomous, continuously running Dark Factory.”
Together toward the
Dark Factory:
maximum transparency,
higher productivity,
future-proof
autonomous manufacturing.
Defence products are often manufactured in small batch sizes, high variant diversity and complex production sequences.
What's needed, therefore, are flexible automation solutions that can quickly adapt to different products and manufacturing tasks.
DarkFab develops modular robotic and handling solutions, automated production stations and flexible material flows.
AGVs can transport components and workpieces between workstations as needed.
Our MCS system provides the digital link between order, material, production and documentation.
Flexible automation for changing requirements — combined with controlled, traceable processes.
Medical and pharmaceutical products require precise, reproducible and traceable processes. At the same time, variant diversity, sensitive products and high quality requirements create complex production sequences.
DarkFab develops flexible robotic and automation solutions for handling, assembly, inspection, pick & place and other production steps.
AGVs can transport materials and components automatically between defined process stations and integrate them into the overall process.
Our MCS system connects order, product, material, batch and process data, creating transparency across the production process.
From the automated production station to a seamless process history — precise, flexible and from a single source.
In machining, there is great potential in the automated linking of machines, material and auxiliary processes.
DarkFab develops flexible robot cells for machine loading, unloading, handling and palletizing, and connects them with automated material flows.
AGVs handle the transport of raw material, pallets and finished parts between the warehouse and machining centers.
Our MCS system lets you digitally control orders and production progress and display them transparently.
From raw material through automated machining to the finished part — fully automated and networked.
Aerospace products place high demands on precision, repeatability and process security. At the same time, complex components and low volumes are often only economically viable with flexible automation concepts.
DarkFab develops robot-based solutions for handling, assembly, machining and inspection, and connects them with intelligent material flows.
AGVs can transport components and materials automatically between defined process steps.
Our MCS system adds a digital layer to physical automation, linking relevant production and process data to each individual component.
Physical automation and digital traceability — connected into one seamless solution.
