HERMES Solution

Technology you can touch and talk to.

“The scientist describes what is; the engineer creates what never was.”

Theodore von Kármán (1881–1963), engineer, Budapest
Our aim

We create devices, machines and software that enable people to live healthy, energetic lives on their own terms and through their own efforts.

What we offer others, we use ourselves first.

For business customers

What we do for you

The skills we have built up for our own products are also available to partners: from the first sketch to the series part.

Plastics technology

Development and manufacture of plastic parts and assemblies, including food-safe surfaces.

Special machines & fixtures

Design and construction of special-purpose machines and production fixtures.

Engineering services

Technical consulting, design and experimental development up to series readiness.

Prototyping

From idea to working sample: with our own FDM 3D printers, first functional prototypes are made quickly and without tooling costs. We then support testing and the route to series production.

How we work

From idea to customer

Each stage lays the foundation for the next. Our own products follow this path, and we work the same way for partners.

1

Research & development

Test series and measurements: we check assumptions before we design.

2

Design

Modular structures, tool-free plug connections, water and light routing, prototypes up to series readiness.

3

Manufacturing

Plastic parts and assemblies with sealed surfaces, our own fixtures for series production.

4

Software development

Software that listens, speaks and applies expert knowledge, connected to the device at the customer's site.

5

Sales & knowledge

Online sales, specialist articles, advice and support.

Data centre, hosting and parcel shipping are provided by specialist partners.

Our story

Grow it yourself, decide for yourself

It started in 2017 with a simple question: how can anyone grow fresh herbs and vegetables themselves, even without a garden or experience? People who grow their own food decide for themselves what ends up on their plate.

From 2020 onwards, this became a series of trials. The pandemic had shown how quickly supply chains can break. In 2022, the trials turned into concrete designs, and in 2023 we spun the project off into HERMES Solution Kft and started series production of our first home growing systems.

But a device alone is not enough. Without help, people are left alone with their questions. That is why, since 2025, every system has come with AI advice that listens, speaks and reliably applies expert knowledge. In 2026, we developed this technology further into digital employees for businesses.

When someone says it can't be built, that is where Harald Erlach's work begins. He keeps looking for a way until a sketch becomes a part that fits, holds and can be manufactured.

“Nothing is impossible.”

Behind every part that leaves our workshop are more hands than fit in a single photo. Many thanks to the colleagues without whom our work would not be possible.
