The unseen danger in everyday work life

As a mechatronics technician in Hagen , you work daily with complex, highly sensitive systems – from robotics in manufacturing to sophisticated control systems. Your responsibility is enormous, as you are the expert at the interface between mechanics, electronics, and IT. But a small connection error, a defective component, or an unfortunate moment can quickly lead to a catastrophe – and that's precisely when our Hagen claims assistance team there for you.

South Westphalia/Ruhr region , which is heavily characterized by manufacturing and complex machinery, the potential damage is extreme. The high density of technology in Hagen's factories means that a fault at the wrong link in the chain can paralyze the entire production process.

Shock cost analysis – What the mistake of not having protection really costs you

In the event of an accident, mechatronics engineers are often liable for property damage and financial losses . The costs are astronomical and, without insurance, can threaten their livelihood .

• Damage to large machinery: Incorrect programming or connections can disable a CNC machine or industrial robot. The costs for this can range from €15,000 to €250,000 .

• Financial loss (downtime): An assembly error leads to a production stoppage at the customer's site. You will be billed for the lost profit, which can quickly to €10,000 to €80,000 .

• Loss of tools and equipment: Theft of the service vehicle including expensive measuring devices and special tools. This results in costs between €5,000 and €25,000 .

• Personal injury (liability): Improper repair leads to the injury of a colleague or customer due to a faulty piece of equipment. These cases are the most expensive and can cost between €50,000 and over €5,000,000

These figures make it clear: You are liable with your personal assets. Protection against these potentially ruinous costs is non-negotiable.

The lifeline – These 3 insurance policies will save your mechatronics career from extinction

To avoid shock costs, you need a protection package specifically tailored to the technical and liability risks of your profession:

1. Professional liability insurance: Absolutely essential. It covers property damage, personal injury, and financial losses that you cause to third parties in the course of your professional activities – especially in cases of assembly or programming errors.

2. Disability insurance (BU): As a tradesperson/technician, you face physical and mental demands. If you become unable to work, disability insurance protects your income until retirement.

3. Tool and electronics insurance: Protects your expensive tools and measuring instruments from theft and damage.
