Efficient small batch production: practical tips for your production
When quantities fluctuate, you need a manufacturing partner who thinks flexibly. With our modern small-batch production, we at BVS Blechtechnik implement precise and economical solutions from single pieces to pilot series. Our high-performance machinery, combined with digitally controlled processes, enables the efficient production of complex components. We place particular emphasis on quality, reproducibility and individual consultation – so that your components are impressive from the first prototype to series production.
Thanks to digitally integrated processes, flexible machines and technical consulting, precise and adaptable manufacturing solutions are created – ideal for projects with changing requirements.
Your advantages at a glance:
- Efficient production of small batch sizes – from approx. 10 pieces
Thanks to intelligent process bundling and automated workflows, we can manufacture economically even in very small quantities – ideal for pre-series, prototypes or changing product variants. - High precision through CNC technology, digital processes and quality control
Our modern CNC systems enable maximum repeat accuracy – supported by digital measuring systems and documented quality checks. - Fully digitised planning – from data set to production start
We automatically generate the complete production data set from your CAD data – including material flow, calculation and production planning. This means your series can start at the touch of a button. - Flexibility in materials, geometries and quantities
Whether stainless steel, aluminium or special alloys – we process a wide variety of materials, even with complex geometries and varying batch sizes. Fast, reproducible and economical. - Personal consultation for optimal technology selection
Our experienced specialists will assist you in selecting suitable processes and materials – tailored to your requirements, component geometries and economic targets.
What small-batch production must achieve today
Small-batch production is more than just an intermediate step towards series production. It is your opportunity to put ideas to the test quickly, flexibly and economically – without high investment costs. It is an ideal solution, especially when launching new products: flexible, fast and cost-efficient.
Thanks to modern manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing and CNC machining, even complex components can be produced in small quantities – individually tailored and with short lead times. Companies benefit from a high degree of adaptability to customer requirements and can respond quickly to changing market demands.
Small-batch production really comes into its own when developing new products. It helps you to quickly test ideas, make optimisations and minimise risks – even before investing in costly mass production.
Optimal manufacturing processes for your small series
BVS Blechtechnik utilises a wide range of manufacturing technologies that can be flexibly combined depending on requirements:
- CNC machining
For high-precision milled and turned parts – ideal for complex geometries, tight tolerances and small batch sizes. - Laser cutting & punching
Fast, clean and material-efficient – perfect for fine contours and varied parts. - Bending & forming
We shape your sheet metal parts precisely and reproducibly using state-of-the-art press brakes and forming technology. - Assembly including ESD protection
Our trained employees assemble complete modules, including sensitive electronic components, safely in an ESD-protected environment.
Depending on the material, complexity and quantity, we select the optimal process or combine several to achieve the best result for you. Our production planning is based on state-of-the-art software and clearly defined processes. We select the optimal process or combine several to achieve the best result for you.
What makes small-batch production at BVS Blechtechnik particularly efficient:
Thanks to digitally integrated processes and the latest software solutions, BVS can also produce small quantities – around 10 to 50 assemblies – with minimal waste and maximum cost-effectiveness. Feasibility analyses, cost estimates and workplace allocations are calculated using software right from the quotation phase. This means that the original data set is quickly turned into a complete production data set – including the production plan, calculation and material flow.
Production can start at the touch of a button. Individual components are intelligently bundled with other orders and processed in the so-called material pool – efficiently nested and cut from raw sheet metal with the aim of minimising waste and maximising productivity. Even with small batch sizes, this creates a genuine series character – economically attractive and precisely plannable.
From idea to small series production – your journey with BVS:
- Data analysis & feasibility study
Ideally, we receive your data in STEP or CAD format. Our software automatically analyses feasibility, material requirements and time expenditure. - Digital production planning
The raw data set is used to create a complete production plan, including costing, workstation allocation and material flow. - Efficient manufacturing
We cut components in a material-optimised manner through intelligent nesting in the material pool. This also allows individual items or special parts to be manufactured economically. - Assembly & finishing
On request, we can also assemble entire modules – ESD-compliant, tested and ready for use.
Typical customer projects at BVS range from functional enclosures for laboratory technology and ESD-safe assembly modules for medical technology to digital information systems for retail chains. The requirements are as diverse as the solutions. And that is precisely where the strength of small-batch production lies: it gets ideas off the ground quickly, minimises technical and economic risks, and provides valuable experience for later series production.
