(Plug & Play)
With us, you will find combined expertise in mechanical design, electronic development, software programming and all production-related processes under one roof!
This service includes the development and design of individual components, assemblies or complete systems according to customer requirements. This can include the integration of electronics and software to provide smarter functions and services, such as control and power electronics with corresponding software.
In addition, RAPA has extensive in-house laboratory, simulation and validation facilities, which are used for intensive testing and validation in the product development process and in the creation of prototypes.
By taking a holistic approach to development and production, we are aware of the particular importance of the interface between the two areas. This is the result of many years of engineering experience. Process consulting plays an important role in research & development when quality assurance, scheduling, interdisciplinary product development and costs have to be managed simultaneously.
At our state-of-the-art production sites in Germany, North America and Asia, we have a wide range of production lines that can be quickly and flexibly adapted to the respective requirements.
At our main site in Selb, series production takes place in seven modern production halls with a total area of an impressive 13,500 square meters. We offer: Small, medium and large series (from 1,000 units to millions of units)
State-of-the-art production technologies for maximum efficiency and quality
- Standardized machinery with the latest technology
- Highly automated production lines
- Use of robotics
- Component assembly at validated assembly workstations
- 100% EOL testing (end-of-line) for maximum quality control
The production of components and systems requires careful planning and implementation in order to guarantee a product of the highest quality and reliability. Many companies outsource this process to external service providers in order to save costs and keep capacities free. But RAPA sees things differently. As a technology partner for various markets, we rely on one hundred percent in-house development and production. From design to production, the entire process is in our own hands and under our control.
The advantages for the customer are obvious: quality, speed and time to market. The close cooperation between development and production ensures that the quality of the products is maintained at the highest level.
Our experienced team of engineers and technicians ensures that every process step is optimally coordinated and meets the highest quality standards.
Our outstanding flexibility enables us to produce customized components and respond individually to the desired quantities. Through customized planning in our own production facilities, we support you in your planning and offer you a clear advantage. At RAPA, individual quantities are the focus of your specific requirements. Whether a single piece or millions of pieces - we offer solutions for different needs. We understand that the automotive industry requires completely different quantities than medium-sized industrial customers in other sectors.
