The Generalist Model
IDEA e.U. is a mechanical engineering consultancy based in Vienna. The company offers engineering services along the entire path from idea to series production: product development, design on demand, reverse engineering, teardown, FEM calculations, conceptualization with feasibility assessment, technical project management and technical documentation including risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100 as well as CE marking and conformity assessment. Fields of work range from stainless steel and lightweight metal construction to fixture and plant engineering, production automation, agricultural machinery and precision farming through to electric motor development, plastics engineering and technical silicone components; in addition, in-house developments have been realized in defense, medical technology, automotive, energy, marine and industrial applications. Manufacturing is fully commissioned to selected suppliers, while coordination and responsibility remain with IDEA. The working method combines a generalist approach with cross-industry cross-sectional knowledge, the consistent use of AI and specialists brought in on a project-by-project basis.
