SF Elektro-Engineering AG

Yes, we plan and assess safety solutions for industrial facilities in compliance with standards. In doing so, we take into account, among other things, machine safety, ATEX zones, VKF and EN ISO 13849, EN 62061, EN 60204 and IEC 61508, NIN and NIV. The aim is maximum plant output without compromising plant safety.

Yes – electrical planning for new facilities is part of our core offering as an extended workbench. We take care of the complete electrical planning: from conception through wiring diagrams and schematics to switchgear documentation, including consideration of applicable standards for machine safety, power quality, ATEX, VKF, NIN, NIV, and more, up to the software of the automation solution. Whether as a partial engagement to relieve your engineering team or as a complete project execution – we integrate into your existing processes and standards, so that your team remains free for core tasks.

We primarily service companies in the machinery and plant engineering sector and their suppliers, with a focus on vacuum and coating technology (including semiconductor/PVD systems), bulk material handling and conveying technology as well as crane and lifting technology. In addition, we support OEMs across industries in new developments and retrofit projects. What matters is not the industry but the need: we are the right partner when engineering capacity for automation and machine safety is required.

Our range of services includes electrical planning, software programming, and machine safety for the development of new systems or for retrofits of existing systems. SF Engineering supports your projects with EMSRL specialists – for a specific project, point-based, or on a permanent basis. You can selectively add individual services or hand over a complete project to us – aligned with your existing processes and capacity bottlenecks.

Engineering outsourcing to SF is suitable for companies where the full costs of a new hire – recruitment, onboarding, tooling, training – are no longer economical compared to external project hours. Studies quantify these full costs at 50–200% of the annual salary. It is especially worthwhile when short-term capacity is required: Faster time-to-market or clearing large backlogs can be flexibly achieved with an external partner – hardly with permanent staff.
