Modular Production & MTP
- Implement MTP-based architectures (PEA, POL), parameterize PLC, Soft PLC applications and Plug & Produce integration
- Design scalable automation concepts for modular production environments
- Integrate automation systems with MES, ERP (e.g. SAP, Microsoft Dynamics), and data platforms
- Use simulation tools and digital twins for virtual commissioning and testing
Qualification & Compliance
- Plan and execute FAT, SAT, commissioning, and IQ/OQ/PQ activities
- Ensure compliance with GMP, GAMP 5, and 21 CFR Part 11
Advanced Topics
- Apply industrial cybersecurity principles (IEC 62443)
- Deliver brownfield upgrades and modernization projects
Pre-Sales & Technical Consulting
- Support solution design, effort estimation, and technical workshops
- Contribute to customer demos and concept development

About us
We are Memo3 GmbH, a specialized engineering and consulting company for modular and digital production in the process industry.
We combine process engineering, automation, and plant design to deliver plug-and-produce production systems that reduce engineering effort, commissioning time, and time to market.
Our focus is on Pharma 4.0, MTP-based architectures, modular production, and digitalization. We develop solutions that enable production modules to be integrated, commissioned, qualified, and operated in a flexible and scalable way.
Unlike traditional system integrators, we work across the entire lifecycle – from strategy and concept development through engineering, FAT/SAT and commissioning to qualification and operations support.
We work with leading technology partners such as COPA-DATA, Beckhoff and Siemens and serve customers in life sciences, food & beverage, and other process industries across Europe.
At Memo3, you will join a small, highly skilled, hands-on team where you can take real ownership, work directly with customers, and actively shape our technology and engineering standards.
