Our in-depth industry knowledge and understanding of medical and biological applications allows HSE•AG to develop automated systems that are tailored to the specific needs and requirements of your customers. HSE•AG bridges the knowledge gap between biology and engineering expertise, creating customized solutions that are an optimal fit for your applications.
HSE•AG maintains close customer relationships and provides comprehensive technical support throughout the entire lifecycle. By working closely with you, the project team can address your individual needs and build on a long-term partnership. This ensures that joint developments are successfully implemented and marketed over the long term.
Requirements engineering
With a clear product vision in place, HSE•AG collaborates with the customer to define both functional and non-functional requirements for the system and its individual components, such as reagents, consumables, instrumentation, and software. Utilizing state-of-the-art software like Polarion, HSE•AG ensures comprehensive traceability from the initial idea to the finished product, incorporating robust risk management.

Solutions visualization
HSE•AG employs various advanced visualization techniques, such as virtual reality, physical 3D models, and interactive models, to present potential solutions. In addition to the visualization, the concept study includes a detailed project plan with a time and cost budget, as well as an initial estimate of manufacturing costs for equipment and consumables.
Functional models
HSE•AG creates functional models to analyze the feasibility of high-risk technical components within the system. Prototypes and proof-of-concept models are constructed, allowing for early testing and evaluation to identify and address potential risks and challenges. This iterative process enhances the final product's robustness and reliability.
