Fault found. Line running.
Fault finding and repair on automated plants: controls, drives, sensors, mechanics. One team, any brand, 24/7 for the Swiss food industry. Plus assembly and commissioning for machinery manufacturers.
What is your situation?
Tell us what you are facing: mechanics, electrical and controls come in the same visit.
Machine down?
We look for the fault at the machine: controls, drives, sensors. 24/7 on-call, on site within 4 hours in German-speaking Switzerland.
New machine or line to install?
Assembly, electrical work and commissioning from one source, up to the documented trial run.
Plant to convert or expand?
Extending lines, relocating machines, adapting structures, with minimal production downtime.
Maintenance to organize reliably?
Maintenance contracts with documented condition reports. The starting point: a free on-site analysis.
Machines sold into Switzerland?
We install and support your equipment at Swiss customers, in your name and to your specifications.
Three commitments, no risk for you
Free on-site analysis
One day at your plant: situation, feasibility, honest assessment. No cost, no obligation.
Pilot project: satisfied or free
Test us on one line. If you are not 100% satisfied with the result, you pay nothing.
Demo day on existing work
For one day we finish off open work, free of charge. You see how we work before you decide.

Our Activity Areas
Anonymized references from active service relationships.
Discretion is part of the service. We publish client names only with written consent: recipes, line layouts and supplier strategies in your sector stay confidential. Detailed references, hours and case studies are available under NDA.
Request references under NDAWhy VLD Service
We work where production happens: conveyors, washing and packaging lines, control cabinets and PLCs. After every visit you receive a report with photos, measurements and the parts replaced.
24/7 Emergency Service
Machine down at 3 in the morning? We answer the phone, 365 days a year. Usually on site within 4 hours, with tools for mechanics, electrical and controls in the same vehicle.
Welding to Hygiene Standards
TIG and orbital welding on stainless steel: pipework from DN 25 to DN 300, product-contact welds finished to Ra ≤ 0.8 µm. Carried out for meat processing, dairy and pharma.
One Team Instead of Three Companies
Mechanics, electricians and PLC technicians belong to the same team. You coordinate no three suppliers and hear no finger-pointing: one contact from assembly to the trial run with real product.
Any Brand, Including Older Controls
We work on plants of any brand: Siemens S7 and TIA Portal controls, drives from ABB, Danfoss and SEW. Migrations from S5 or S7-300 to S7-1500 we carry out step by step, without shutting production down.

How Can We Help You?
Fault, repair, maintenance
We find the fault on your line and fix it, on call or scheduled. Plus maintenance, modifications and calibration, when in-house maintenance is stretched.
How we work with plantsSubcontracting for Manufacturers
You supply the machine, we supply the fitters: assembly, wiring and commissioning at the Swiss end customer, in your name and to your specifications.
See subcontractingFull Swiss Service for Manufacturers
Your machines run in Switzerland, your service technician sits hundreds of kilometres away. We take over maintenance, breakdowns and after-sales on site.

Capacity gap or specialist job? We provide fitters with their own equipment, on your order and under your direction.
