Why Meyer Consulton

Four levers for
measurable progress.

AI and digitalization initiatives rarely fail because of technology — they fail on strategy, data quality and integration. That is exactly where I start: pragmatic, measurable, no buzzword bingo.

01
AI Strategy & Roadmap
From use case to business case: I assess where AI has real leverage in your processes and prioritize a roadmap measured by value — not by hype. You will know what comes first, what it delivers, and what to deliberately leave out.
02
System Integration & Scaling
New systems and AI building blocks integrated cleanly into your existing IT/OT landscape — SAP, COMOS, interfaces and APIs. From pilot to scaled rollout across teams and sites, without parallel worlds.
03
Data Architecture & Governance
Reliable data quality, clear ownership, traceable decisions — the foundation without which no AI system holds up in production. Fully self-hosted and GDPR-compliant on request.
04
Automation & Process Digitalization
Recurring engineering and administrative work gets automated — from document analysis to reporting. Success is measured in hours saved, not in slides.

Three paths to how I move industrial companies forward. Choose the route that fits your situation — the approach is always the same: pragmatic, direct, no sales pressure.

I
AI Strategy & Digitalization
You want to deploy AI and digitalization in your production or engineering processes — with a clear roadmap, measurable value and an experienced Product Owner at your side.

Services

From strategy
to delivery.

First the right decision, then the clean delivery: I digitalise industrial processes for a more efficient way of working — and can actually build them thanks to deep COMOS and interface experience. Always directly with me — no intermediaries.

03 / 03
Specialization
COMOS Platform
For clients with COMOS environments, I bring over a decade of hands-on experience — database migration cDB→iDB, interfaces to SAP, maintenance and Autodesk, customizing down to the object library. This depth also makes my AI and digitalization consulting credible.

Strategy & Roadmap
Digitalisation & Transformation
The starting point: where do you stand, what slows down the day-to-day, what actually creates efficiency? I develop the strategy and roadmap — and lead new applications as Product Owner all the way to a successful rollout. So that in the end, work becomes noticeably better and more efficient.

From the field
The cDB-to-iDB migration

On the slide, a migration like this looks like a weekend job. After the first test run I knew: it would be three. That is exactly what test runs are for — ever since, I plan migrations so the surprises happen in the test system and the production cutover lands on a pleasantly boring Tuesday.

Interfaces, lots of interfaces

SAP, maintenance systems, Autodesk — I have built plenty of integrations into COMOS. The biggest lesson: the technology is rarely the problem. The problem is that two departments have been filling the same field differently for years. There are solutions for that too — they start with listening.

CAD meets database

Working on the Autodesk integration I learned that CAD people and database people fully agree the other side is the problem. My job was to translate — in the end the data exchange ran automatically, and both sides were convinced they had won.

Machinery & Plant Engineering
Global COMOS Platform
Problem
A globally used engineering platform with 200+ users across time zones — development, standards and rollouts had to be coordinated centrally.
Solution
Full ownership as Product Owner: agile development team (Scrum, PSM1), prioritized backlog, international rollout with a clean release process.
Result
A stable platform in worldwide operation — one contact for strategy, prioritization and delivery.

Problem
Introducing a central engineering system from scratch: no existing COMOS environment, plant data and processes had to be structured from the ground up.
Solution
Evaluation, introduction and administration from A to Z — including PLC/HMI software (S7-1500, WinCC) for the process plants.
Result
A productive COMOS environment, owned and continuously developed through five years of operation.

Methodology

How a Project
Works With Me

01
Analysis & Opportunity Assessment
Free conversation: where do you stand, what slows down the day-to-day, where are the biggest efficiency levers? I understand your environment, goals and background — before recommending anything.
02
Strategy & Roadmap
A clear recommendation: what first, in which order, what it delivers. A real basis for deciding instead of buzzwords — you consciously choose the right path.
03
Concept & Pilot
A clear proposal with defined scope and fixed price or day rate — then delivery as a pilot directly in your environment, on-site or remote. Documentation from day one, knowledge transfer included.
04
Scaling & Integration
From successful pilot to regular operation: integration into your system landscape, structured acceptance, user training. You are independent afterwards — that is the goal.
05
Operation & Monitoring
On board beyond the project end if you wish — monitoring, questions, smaller adjustments or new requirements.
Typical Project Duration

Profile

Jan Meyer

Owner of Meyer Consulton — automation and digitalization engineer with 14+ years of industrial experience. From PLC programmer to global Product Owner: I know industrial projects from every angle — technical, organizational and strategic.

My offering combines three things: hands-on AI competency from real projects, the ability to lead digitalization initiatives as Product Owner from idea to go-live — and, for clients with COMOS environments, deep COMOS expertise from years of platform ownership.

What sets me apart from consulting firms: you always work directly with the person who does the work. No account manager, no middleman. Based in St. Gallen SG — centrally located in eastern Switzerland, easily reachable from Zurich, Lake Constance and Vorarlberg.

Being a one-person company means for you: no rotation, no junior consultant learning on your project. And because I document every project fully from day one, you're never solely dependent on me — your team can take over seamlessly at any time.

FAQ

Before you
reach out

Q1
What happens if you, as a one-person business, become unavailable?
I fully document every project from day one — code, configuration, decisions. That means your team is never solely dependent on me and can take over seamlessly at any time.
Q2
How long does a typical project take?
Depending on scope, 20–80 working days. We narrow this down for your specific project during the free intro call.
Q3
Do you work remote or on-site?
Both — usually 30–70% remote depending on the project. I work across the DACH region, based in St. Gallen.
Q4
How fast can I expect a response?
Typically within 24 hours — for inquiries as well as during ongoing projects.
Q5
What does a project cost?
Billing is by day rate, depending on the type and scope of work. After the intro call you'll get a clear quote with defined scope and either a fixed price or day-rate calculation.
Q6
Do you have references?
Yes — see the case studies further up this page. Specific contacts and details on reference projects are available on request during the intro call.
