About CIM-BASE
CIM-BASE Consulting & Engineering is an engineering consultancy based in Vaihingen/Enz that has been providing practice-oriented technical consulting and services for efficient, digital engineering in mechanical and plant engineering since 1990. Owner Dipl.-Ing. Freihold Hasselfeld supports as an independent expert the focal areas of configuration from sales (CPQ) to engineering, optimized engineering, cross-disciplinary modularization and standardization as well as ECAD benchmarks, selection consulting and system introduction. The service portfolio also includes building symbol and component libraries, function-oriented documentation structures, table-driven drawing generation, value analyses, training and coaching of engineering teams as well as concepts for Engineering 4.0 and Service 4.0 with preventive maintenance and big data evaluation. Based on more than 1,500 projects, clients have included rail technology corporations, manufacturers of beverage filling systems, printing presses, sheet metal working machines, semiconductor production equipment and industrial 3D printers, as well as energy suppliers and automotive suppliers, partly internationally in France, Spain, China, India, Sweden and Italy. With its own tools such as the CIM-BASE Configurator, routine tasks in electrical and fluid engineering are automated.
