As a future-oriented enterprise, KEBA places a premium value on research and development, with the objective of providing added value for our customers. Each year we invest 20% of our turnover in R&D projects. We are in continuous competition with global companies within our sector. Due to our high innovation capacity and flexibility, we have been able to achieve market leadership in numerous niche markets.
- KEBA R&D - the philosophy
KEBA sees investments in R&D as a decisive factor for success. A good balance between continuous expansion and deepening of our existing competencies, while at the same time daring to innovate, is a precondition for the creation of innovative and competitive products.
- Customers - development partnerships
A precise understanding of the challenges that are faced by our customers is the basis for a target-oriented and efficient development of optimised automation solutions. We endeavour to maintain an ongoing dialogue with our customers, so that we can meet these demands.
- The KEBA team - man as the motor for innovation
Excellently educated and experienced engineers, in the areas of electronics, information sciences, mechatronics and physics, maintain a continuous dialogue with our customers, for the purpose of jointly developing comprehensive solutions to complex automation tasks. All of them find the freedom at KEBA for developing their creative ideas. One third of the entire KEBA team works in development areas, such as applications engineering, equipment construction, hardware, software and test development.
- Numerous patents
Patents are extremely important for KEBA; they support the differentiation of our customers in their market segments. A continuous analysis of patents as well as an examination of the feasibility of patenting new approaches in an early development stage assures systematic progress.
- Development quality - with perfection to peak performance
Quality starts with people and ends with products. Ongoing qualification measures, standards in the development processes, integrated tests and audits of our hard- and software developments as well as dedicated quality assurance managers in our development areas guarantee that errors are prevented at an early stage of the development process. This means that development projects are implemented from the start in a timely and cost-conscious manner.
