TwinTech

What TwinTech does

TwinTech (legally 'TwinTech - Daniel Lehner') is an Austrian boutique consultancy and training firm headquartered in Pixendorf, Austria, that helps organizations connect innovation with digitalization through digital twin technologies. The company serves two primary personas: innovation managers evaluating the economic value of digitalization investments, and software developers seeking hands-on skills in digital twin and AI implementation. Its core offering is the 360° Potential Analysis — a three-step consulting methodology (lifecycle definition, potential identification, potential weighting) built on open standards including OPC UA, AAS, and SysML, and leveraging the Eclipse BaSyx open-source platform for implementations. TwinTech also delivers structured training programs (AI management, Digital Twins in Practice, IoT with AI, AI Act compliance), proof-of-concept engagements, and individual coaching.

The firm operates as a sole proprietorship with five to six key team members, drawing on two PhDs and two professors with strong academic credentials (including >10,000 citations attributed to its scientific advisor). It targets the DACH region — primarily Austria and Germany — with named enterprise customers Engel (injection molding) and Uhlmann (pharmaceutical packaging). Revenue is generated entirely through professional services on a quote-based model; pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm relies on distribution partnerships with Comconsult, Tecnovy, and Heise Academy for training reach. A 2025 product expansion added an ISO-certified 'Certified AI Manager' credential (via Austrian Standards) and a Digital Product Passport webinar, indicating a strategic tilt toward EU regulatory themes. The business carries no external funding, operates with a lean cost base, and is positioned as a subject-matter expert rather than a scaled platform.
