Discover untapped optimisation potential with HYDAC T2T – Walk the line
And that's along your entire production line – from technology to technology
When machines and systems are designed, conventional mounting technology and media management are not usually the main focus of advanced engineering. Wrongly, as we find, because there is often considerable untapped potential to increase overall efficiency. Whether it's a cost and time reduction, or even an enormous reduction in installation space: let's work together with our T2T – Walk the line approach to optimise both your processes and products and make your component management more efficient.
We come to you: from the production line to the solution
With our comprehensive HYDAC T2T – Walk the line optimisation approach, we come right to your factory and walk the entire production line with your team to collaborate with you and identify untapped potential.
And we'd be happy to support you too. Contact us now and let us analyse your production line, technician to technician.
The goals we would like to achieve with you
Installation space reduction
Even during product development, the selection and integration of components plays a critical role in terms of reducing installation space. This is because when more complex elements, which may involve many individual components, are replaced by functionally integrated solutions, the end product itself usually requires significantly less installation space.
Process optimisation in procurement
True efficiency doesn't start at the production line. It starts at the procurement stage. We consolidate your variety of parts with targeted product optimisations. Imagine reducing both the number of your components and suppliers and relying on a single, trustworthy partner. This streamlined structure eliminates administrative bottlenecks and ensures transparency and process reliability in material supply.
Safe installation process & simplified maintenance
We offer lean and efficient solutions that simplify both installation and maintenance, making the entire process faster and safer. The simplified handling of our components also prevents search times and installation errors, which ensures process reliability during cycle times.
Cost optimisation & positioning in the international market
Our innovative solutions facilitate your positioning and establishment in and access to the international market environment. We bring decades of expertise to your business and work with your team to develop specific solutions, always with a view to minimise costs as much as possible.

HYDAC T2T – Walk the line is a direct approach that is bespoke and solution-oriented. Our product & application specialists work closely with customers right from the start to implement a tailor-made solution for your project in the shortest possible time.
How our approach works: the 6 D's
Discover
We start with a visit to your production line to discover any untapped potential with you. We analyse your current processes in direct conversation with you. Thanks to our comprehensive technical understanding when it comes to media management and mounting solutions that are optimised in terms of installation and cost, we can quickly identify where you can increase your efficiency.
Diagnose
The Diagnose step focuses on a collaborative discussion about any potential identified. This is how we gain a deep insight into your specific requirements and challenges. We then analyse the approaches developed, create a tailor-made concept and clearly prioritise the measures that are to be implemented.
Design
In this phase, we work with you to develop a solution that is tailored to your needs – whether it is a new system, a special function, a module or a single component. Your active role is crucial here: we incorporate your direct feedback and make any necessary refinements until the final concept fits your processes and machines perfectly.
Deliver
This is when your tailor-made solution is installed. The systems and components developed are seamlessly integrated into your machines and systems. Even after implementation, we value continuous feedback and ongoing dialogue about optimisations to ensure that your production line operates at the highest level of efficiency in the long term.
Document
We of course also provide you with the necessary documentation. These documents serve as a comprehensive reference work for operation, maintenance and future expansions – with a focus on continuous availability and always being up-to-date. This means that your team always has the necessary information for smooth and efficient production.
Duplicate
In the final step, we specifically prepare the developed solutions and components for duplication or complete series production. We remain your development partner for continuous optimisation even after the release.
Tried and tested: discover our application examples
HYDAC T2T – Walk the line is much more than just a concept; it's a tried-and-tested process that can be applied to any production line as a solution for any industry. Thanks to our many years of interdisciplinary expertise, our technical experts are able to use proven knowledge to tailor the solution to your machines and achieve optimal results. To give you an idea of how it can be used, here are four examples.
For mobile machine manufacturers
Application example: mounting technology
Initial situation:
10 individual parts (4x clamp halves, 2x threaded rods, 4x nuts, 4x washers)
HYDAC solution:
- Reduced complexity & simplified procurement: only one clamp
- Optimised logistics: lower storage costs and less coordination.
- Quick and easy installation thanks to quick-release closure for significant time savings in the production process
Application example: media management
Initial situation:
Many individual components, 6 to 8 separate connectors
HYDAC solution:
- Significant reduction in the number of parts: a ball valve block with integrated components (check valve + throttle)
- Increased reliability: reduction in possible leakage points
- Compact design: optimised installation space and reduced weight
For manufacturers in industry
Application example: coaxial valve block
Initial situation:
Many individual components and multiple pipes with approx. 20 connectors
HYDAC solution:
- Drastic reduction in parts and interfaces: via a coaxial valve block with integrated check valves
- Compact design: optimised installation space and reduced installation costs and weight
- Increased efficiency: only one storage location and one supplier thanks to integration
Application example: high-voltage mounting technology
Initial situation:
Standard DIN clamp with high cable tolerances.
HYDAC solution:
- Increased safety: thanks to a stackable HV clip-on clamp with integrated tolerance compensation
- Reduced part variety: only one clamp type for different cable diameters
- Quick integration thanks to tool-free pre-assembly
