- Flexible integration of existing components and data formats (all common 2D and 3D formats can be processed)
- Simple, convenient data transfer via email or secure FTP server
- Complete project support – from the concept phase to commissioning
Our Services in Custom Machine Building
- Development and construction of custom machinery, fixtures, and operating equipment
- Modifications, repairs, and maintenance of existing plants
- Technical consulting and project planning
- Manufacturing and on-site assembly
- Digital simulation and 3D prototyping for maximum planning security
Automation
Electrical Planning
The electrical engineering department plays a central role in machine building and covers all areas of engineering. Electrical planning is integrated into the design and construction process right from the very beginning.
Among other things, we also manufacture control cabinets on a contract basis and redraw handwritten or legacy circuit diagrams into the latest WSCAD version.
Our Services in Electrical Planning
- Electrotechnical planning of plants in close cooperation with the design department
- Electrical project planning of the entire system
- Material procurement
- Construction and wiring of control cabinets
- Cabling and connections on the machine
- Support for programmers during commissioning and testing (PLC/software)
Installation, connection, and final acceptance at the customer's site

What are the advantages of a tailored automation solution compared to a standard system?
A customized solution is tailored precisely to your processes and requirements—this increases efficiency, reduces costs over the entire lifecycle, and avoids the compromises that frequently arise with standard solutions.
What is the typical workflow of an automation project at Natur Energietechnik?
We accompany you step-by-step: Analysis → Concept → Design → Electrical Planning & Control → Manufacturing & Assembly → Commissioning. This way, you receive all services from a single source — with one dedicated point of contact.
How are the quality, maintenance-friendliness, and future-proofing of the system guaranteed?
Through precise 3D design, norm-compliant electrical and control cabinet engineering, high-quality components from leading manufacturers, and long-term, scalable automation solutions — ensuring a durable and technologically advanced system.
What is the approximate cost of an automation solution, and how quickly does it pay for itself?
The costs vary depending on the project scope, level of automation, and industry. The important thing is: Our projects aim for long-term cost-effectiveness — through reduced downtime, optimized energy and process flows, and lower maintenance costs. We will prepare a detailed economic viability analysis for you in advance.
