Integrated development. Integrated engineering. Integrated delivery. Integrated operations.

ZETA’s definition of integrated project support is end-to-end. We provide integrated development long before a CAPEX project begins and continue with operational support long after its completion. With our comprehensive range of services, we span the arc from laboratory and scale-up support through CAPEX project delivery to operations.

Delivering complete CAPEX projects. Execution strategy that minimizes time and cost.

One team approach

#1
A perfectly aligned in-house pool of experts in all disciplines ensures that all aspects of defining and delivering projects are understood.
We do not separate between engineering and delivery teams but offer true end-to-end delivery with one consistent core team.

Integrated digital engineering

#2
We use a centralized digital toolchain that spans all disciplines.

Integrated project execution

#3
Integrated project structure plan following a stage gate approach, based on internationally recognized standards.

Simulate first. Engineer smarter. Understand your plant – before it is even built.

Digital Solutions & Consulting

+ –
With the simulation tools that are part of our digital tool landscape, engineers, operators and production planners can map even the most complex production environments.

INOSIM Insight

+ –
By means of simulations with INOSIM Insight, ZETA observes and analyzes the behavior of production processes in context of all their support systems (CIP, buffers, utilities, consumables, personnel, OPEX, etc.) under different real-world scenarios already in the concept design phase.

INOSIM Foresight

+ –
With INOSIM Foresight, accurate production forecasts can be made for the next hours and days. Production planners and operators can anticipate the impact of changes, delays or breakdowns and mitigate negative effects on product quality and production time.

Accelerating time to market through smart project execution

We reduce complexity and shorten timelines by minimizing interfaces, enabling parallel execution of project phases, and integrating delivery partners early. Strategic early purchasing of major equipment ensures seamless progress and avoids delays – keeping your project on track and market-ready faster.

Fast and transparent delivery for project success

With our open book approach, we ensure full transparency and better control over project progress. By enabling earlier facility handover, we help reduce total cost of ownership – allowing operations to start sooner and deliver value faster.

Clear-cut project targets through structured planning

We ensure project success through flexible management tools, clearly defined responsibilities, and continuous progress monitoring. This structured approach enables precise alignment across all phases – keeping goals transparent, timelines realistic, and execution on track.

We lead proactively to prevent costly surprises

The earliest project phases have the greatest impact on defining scope, targets, and costs. According to the “Rule of Ten,” the cost of changes multiplies tenfold with each completed phase. That’s why we take the lead – ensuring proper alignment of decisions and gathering the right information at the right time to avoid costly rework and ensure project success.

Maximize Efficiency, minimize expenses

Our approach combines strategic thinking with simulation technology to cut CAPEX and OPEX by up to 40%. Achieve more with less – through intelligent design and efficient processes.

End-to-end project excellence

We integrate field-proven expertise – from CQV, SAT, and commissioning to installation – into the earliest project stages. This holistic approach ensures optimal setup and guides clients seamlessly through every phase, from concept to operation.

Everything is possible. No project is too small or too big.

ZETA supports all design phases as an engineering partner, be it for individual disciplines as specialist planner or as general planner covering all aspects of a project. All these services can be offered combined or stand-alone to fit our customers’ needs. We also offer consultancy services and support by developing solutions to specific tasks or hurdles.

Delivery Models

ZETA has extensive experience in various delivery models, including options with or without a feasibility study, followed by the canonical engineering phases (Conceptual Design, Basic Design, Detailed Design). From FEL 1 to FEL 4, full EPCM or EPC, all is possible.

Full Delivery

ZETA transforms design concepts into turnkey Design & Build projects, delivering fully operational process plants. We manage procurement, develop software, and assemble components in-house, enabling comprehensive dynamic testing. The plant is then transferred to the site, where we perform or supervise installation and conduct SAT. We also support CQV activities – including PQ, cleaning validation, and PPQ – and provide ongoing operational support.

Walter Erber, Senior Vice President Loba biotech

“With ZETA, we contracted a highly competent and experienced EPCM partner, who managed the tech transfer of the production process, the production facility for PEG interferon alfa 2a, the planning of the high-tech production infrastructure, the coordination of all project partners involved, the implementation at the Fischamend site, and the market readiness of the new Loba biotech infrastructure in only 25 months. A sensational achievement, considering the high complexity of the StartUp project, the extremely short project lead time and the extension of the original order scope.”
