Our projects: Business ideas become reality
Success is something we celebrate together. Because everyone contributes to the realization of our projects. At Abacus neo, our team brings together experience, knowledge, and ambition. This is the only way to achieve great things in our investment areas. As a relatively young company, our portfolio is still growing.
Read the success stories of Nuform and VinRoc Solutions, in which we show how incubation can turn an attractive idea into a longstanding, successful, and scalable business model. VinRoc Solutions is already a successful start-up. Behind the scenes, we are working on other projects.
Enabling Smart Factories and Industriy 4.0
Plock Control – digital twins for high-volume production
Our cooperation/foundation project PlockControl is a spin-off from the established medium-sized automotive supplier Plock Metallwerke Group, Hagen. Here we develop advanced software solutions, digitalise production processes and test them directly in real application scenarios.
PlockControl specialises in marking and tracking components using QR codes. With the help of 100% component labelling and the creation of a digital twin that contains all important quality information, individual components or physical objects can be traced seamlessly throughout their entire life cycle. In addition to quality assurance, production processes involving quantities in the millions can be ensured.
We offer new opportunities for future investments in Industry 4.0, such as the use of AI for production optimisation and predictive analytics.
Experts for 3D-printing
Nuform: 3D printing focused on SMEs
In the Nuform project, we advise and support small and medium-sized companies with questions, ideas, and solutions relating to 3D printing, particularly with metals. We support companies in maintaining their technological edge through constant innovation. 3D printing is perfect for this: it makes production more innovative, efficient, and flexible. Nuform is testing how we can help to optimize and manufacture precise 3D-printed components, especially for mechanical engineering. We also test the design, optimization, and production to make the components as light and functional as possible. This also makes them suitable for lightweight construction. And they save material and therefore costs in production. With these projects, Nuform is pursuing precisely those goals that we want to address in our investment areas: making industry and society more innovative, efficient, and sustainable.
