The team advent calendar - a small gesture with a big meaning
December | 2023
A company is more than just a place where people work together. It's a place where relationships are built, successes are celebrated and challenges are overcome together. This Christmas season, we would like to talk about a special tradition that helps to strengthen cohesion and appreciation within our team - the team advent calendar.
Welcome-Box
November | 2023
Since our company was founded, appreciating employees from day 1 has been an important concern for us. Because we know very well that starting at a new company is not always easy and that one of the most important things is that you simply feel comfortable in your new environment. We also never stop learning, which helps us with successful onboarding, and we are constantly developing within our means. We recently added to our welcome box - which we are happy to show you today.
WIN-WIN
October | 2023
WIN-WIN for you and us - What are the benefits of working with us?
Of course you might think: Logically, a service provider only does this to generate sales. But there is much more to it for us!
As a development service provider, we offer our services to companies in need of support, primarily in the areas of product development and toolmaking, including coordination of the production of plastic components in particular, if the need arises. This is what our customers expect from us - but we offer much more. And that is in the area of service.
How can companies work successfully with service providers?
October | 2023
How do companies collaborate successfully with us in product development?
Successful collaboration is the be-all and end-all of product development - not only within your own project team, but also in particular when a service provider is commissioned with implementation or support. And the "basic rules" for successful collaboration are the same - whether internal or external. Over the past few years, we have gained extensive experience in working on projects with different teams and different companies and, based on our previous projects, we can summarize what characterizes successful collaboration.
Stories from REVONEER – Part 2
September | 2023
What do we Development Engineers do all day?
Why are development engineers so important? First of all: without development engineers, there would be no development of new technologies and products! They are fundamentally responsible for improving products or developing fundamentally new ones and play a decisive role in the development phase of a product. The responsibility to fulfill the technical requirements and specifications of a product must be emphasized. Development engineers have to solve complex engineering and design problems. To do this, they need a deep understanding of math, science and technology and can use their skills to develop innovative solutions to solve complex problems. They also play an important role in testing products and identifying defects or optimization potential.
Product development - why stay on the ball and drive innovation?
September | 2023
Product development has a long tradition in Germany and is an important economic factor that plays a significant role in both large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). German industry is known for its innovative strength and the high quality of its products, which is not least due to good product development.
But other countries are also following suit with innovations - perhaps other countries are already far ahead of us in various areas? Product development is an important key to ensuring that we stay on the ball with our innovative strength in Germany.
One crisis after another - good conditions for a development service provider?
August | 2023
There are currently around 80,000 engineering firms in Germany in various sectors ranging from construction to mechanical engineering. In 2011, there were almost 20,000 more engineering firms. The economic situation in recent years has caused the number to fall further.
REVONEER was founded precisely at the time of the decline in the number of engineering firms - at the turn of the year 2017/2018. And first of all: we are proud that we are still on the market and that we are developing stably. But we have also felt the effects of the situation. While we grew by a factor of 3 in each of the first three years, from 2020 to the following years there was more of a stabilization phase.
(How) are new technologies changing the field of development services?
August | 2023
REVONEER is an engineering service provider and offers development services. With the advent of AI, the question arises: what can AI do in our field and how will it change our work?
The development industry has changed a lot in recent years, mainly due to the introduction of new technologies in various areas, be it the possibility of fast prototypes through now powerful 3D printing or now the emergence of AI such as ChatGPT. The possibilities of AI are currently a hotly debated topic, which is why we have also been dealing with it for several weeks.
Cake in the office
August | 2023
We know it from almost every company, because it is usually good manners to have a cake for colleagues at appropriate events. Critics are quick to say that this is unhealthy. Some people therefore like to bring a healthy snack instead. But is a cake every now and then really bad? We don't think so.
Our REVONEER tip: How do you present results correctly?
July | 2023
The results speak for themselves, don't they? No, but a good presentation of results needs to be learned. As it is a great added value for our customers if we present our development results well, we have continued to refine our expertise in presenting results in recent years.
Stories from REVONEER - What do we engineers actually do all day?
June | 2023
Depending on the company and area of activity, the day of an engineer looks very different. And depending on the project phase and the current project, the activities change again and again - the variety and diversity of tasks is characteristic of REVONEER due to the size of the company. Engineers at REVONEER work in the fields of mechanical engineering, mechatronics and computer science and are predominantly computer-based. However, testing and prototype construction are also commonplace.
From REVONEER India to REVONEER Germany
June | 2023
We have had support from India since the end of April. And not just the way we have been working online with our cooperation partner REVONEER India for the past five years - this time with Indian support here on site.
We have been talking to REVONEER India for some time about the possibility of colleagues from India coming to us and getting to know our work processes here. Preparations were put on hold during the pandemic and now we are all the more pleased to welcome Vinod to support REVONEER Germany.
REVONEER in profile - we introduce ourselves
May | 2023
About 5 ½ years of REVONEER - a good time for us to introduce ourselves again!
Who are we? What do we do? What sets us apart?
REVONEER GmbH, based in Munich, has been an innovative engineering service provider for mechatronic product development since it was founded. REVONEER offers engineering services in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology and develops individual concepts and solutions from the idea to series production. Whether design, layout with calculation and simulation, electronics and software development or optimization of existing systems through to prototype construction - at REVONEER everything comes from a single source.
"Does it work: you are married and run a company together?"
May | 2023
This month is our 7th wedding anniversary. At the same time, we have been running our company together for almost 5 ½ years.
Not everyone can imagine working together with their partner. Logically, couples who work together spend significantly more time together and this can lead to potential conflict. If it is not possible to keep work and private life separate in the long term, this can put a lot of strain on both areas. So I'm not surprised that we are often asked whether this doesn't bother us or whether we can cope with it.
This is much easier to fix in the design phase
April | 2023
We have to move away from the motto: "We don't have time to do something right the first time - but we will take the time to do it again."
Recognizing problems in product development at an early stage should be an absolutely essential requirement in the development process. The later errors are identified in development, the more resources, costs and time are required to rectify them. Efficiency is an important keyword here.
BUT: This is usually easier said than done! If you ask someone in quality management, the answer is clear: apply appropriate methods at an early stage. If you look at the reality, these are sometimes applied too late or are only seen as a necessary evil.
Lessons learned - why it is important to also document errors
April | 2023
Lessons learned is a term that almost everyone in development comes across at some point - better sooner than later. Why? Because when experience is handled well, existing and new projects can be implemented more efficiently and with better results. As development projects always have an innovative character, the constant acquisition of new knowledge is almost the order of the day - there are "lessons learned" in abundance, so to speak.
By definition, findings become lessons learned when they are documented in a suitable form. They can be derived from both positive and negative experiences and thus bring optimization potential or risks to the table. The most important feature here is that practical experience forms the basis - not purely theoretical considerations.
Stories from REVONEER - Family-friendly employer - Our team tells the story
March | 2023
REVONEER has been in existence for 5 years and this is the fourth time that someone has taken parental leave. Almost 30% of our team have children. Some of them are still at nursery or kindergarten age. If daycare or school is closed or something else comes up, it can be a challenge for parents to juggle work and children. At REVONEER, we offer flexible solutions, from flexible working hours to flexible working models. Sometimes things get colorful in the office when we have a visit from children who decorate our whiteboards or play memory games in the meeting room.
Today, Daniela talks about her experiences with REVONEER in terms of balancing work and childcare.
How nice a thank you is
March | 2023
Today I would like to share a moment at the beginning of this year that was definitely emotional for me:
It's the day after our technical draftswoman's final oral exam. And how happy and touched I was when she came in the next morning with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a bag of sweets and gave it to me with a lovely thank you. She actually deserved the bouquet for passing her exam because she was very excited and really tried hard.
The sentence "I'm very grateful to you because I know it's not a matter of course that bosses take so much time and put so much effort into things" just did me good at that moment and at the same time I really appreciate having such a great team.
Toolmaking for plastic components can be worthwhile even for just a few thousand units
February | 2023
It is often assumed that toolmaking for plastic injection molded parts is only worthwhile when it comes to series quantities of several thousand parts or more. Thanks to our cooperation with India, however, we can offer our customers profitable production costs for plastic parts even for significantly smaller quantities. Both prototype and series tools as well as the production costs of the components are comparatively low in India. Coordination and communication are handled entirely by REVONEER GmbH, based in Munich, in a service-oriented manner. Thorough tool coordination and corresponding approval rounds are naturally included in our services.
Technical documentation - what we offer our customers
February | 2023
Documentation is a quality feature for us at REVONEER. Why? Because results do not always speak for themselves and not all results and change histories in development can be remembered in the long term. For example, there are clear reasons for changes in the construction design - if we do not have change management with a justification for the corresponding adjustment, it is possible that "old mistakes" will be repeated.
We give an insight into our office
January | 2023
After we moved into a shared office in Obersendling (Munich) in 2019 after being founded in 2018, we have steadily expanded. At the beginning of 2022, we were able to take over the main lease of our premises, which marked the start of our redesign.
Toolmaking at REVONEER
December | 2022
In 2020, we at REVONEER gained our first experience with toolmaking for injection molded parts in India. We are proud to be able to offer our customers further injection molds for our projects in the smart home sector in 2022. We can now manufacture functional components and housing components with increased requirements for visible surfaces. We have also achieved very good results in the area of color matching with other components.
What are the specific advantages for our customers of having tools manufactured in India? The main aspect is the cost savings for prototype and series tools. The manufacturing costs of the components are also comparatively low in India. Thorough tool coordination and corresponding approval rounds are naturally included.
Year in review 2022
December | 2022
We would like to summarize and share our topics, our best moments and also our challenges of 2022 again this year at the end of the year. We hope that there will be plenty of interest in our work again next year and hope you enjoy reading it!
Year in review 2021
December | 2021
A year with ups and downs
The industry is particularly hard hit by the ongoing pandemic situation, but we have a great team behind us, a working atmosphere full of motivation and great moments AND: This year we won the award of Munich's award-winning companies in the "Small Business" category. We are proud and, despite all the challenges, look to the future with great strength.
