Summary

As a freelance engineer for machine and plant safety, no challenge is too big! Whether it's tricky standards or drafting complex legal regulations in technical documentation. I love diving into different technical challenges and finding the right solution for everyone!

In a world of constantly new standards and changing guidelines, I have made it my mission to make your technical documentation simple, clear, and precise. Because technical documentation shouldn't be a tedious legal obligation for you, but a real help for your end customers when it comes to operating your machines! This is what motivates me: transforming complex standards and guidelines into clear, consumer-friendly documentation and manuals.

In today's business world, legal protection is above all crucial. Yet this issue causes big problems for many companies. Standards and guidelines are long, complicated, and hard to understand because of legal jargon. I have made it my mission to support companies with their technical documentation. Whether you need an operating manual, assembly instructions, spare parts lists, risk assessments according to DIN EN ISO 12100 including standards research and assessment, or a complete CE conformity assessment procedure, I will create technical documentation for you that is simple, clear, and precise.

My many years of experience and my curiosity have made me a unique expert in the field of machine and plant safety. For me, it's natural to take the work and pressure off you and design the technical documentation according to your wishes. This way, not only are your machines and plants safe, but you also benefit from our cooperation in the long run. I have extensive experience with various data management modules, including weclapp, SAP, and the Promo-Office database.

Everything from a single source. No matter what you're dealing with in technical documentation, I can support you throughout the entire process and accompany you from the first design of your machine to the final delivery to the customer, including the operating manual. With me and my team, you gain a service provider who delivers every service you need.

I would be happy to discuss the possibilities of working together and to solve your problems and challenges. Together we can set the course for improving your machine safety. Turn your problems into my challenges!
