The traditional brewery Lammsbräu in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate is a long-term customer of SPANGLER Automation. Within the scope of an extensive retrofit programme, the process of malt kiln was completely equipped with new hardware, the wiring diagram and the software were revised and several plants were connected to the existing control system.
During IFAT Munich, the World’s Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management, Spangler invited national and international customers and business partners to a Bavarian evening, the royal trade fair break. They met in the casual outdoor area of the restaurant König Ludwig an der Messe. Here the guests could talk in a relaxed atmosphere and could enjoy the Bavarian specialties of the buffet and tap their own beer.
Anyone who works in enclosed rooms of waste water treatment plants may be exposed to many underestimated hazards. These must be identified at an early stage so that accidents do not occur at all. From the equipment to entry protection and hazards from gases or oxygen deficiency – in order to ensure our employees‘ safety, Spangler regularly carries out safety trainings.
In order to achieve the generally defined goal of phasing out coal and due to the amendment of the sewage sludge regulation, the combustion of sewage sludge instead of coal as a fuel is a good alternative. For this reason, two belt dryers with a yearly capacity of 80.000 tons were installed at a plant of an energy provider for increase of capacity. SPANGLER Automation planned, produced and programmed the automation technology on behalf of HUBER SE Berching.
The Software SPANGLER Electronic Material Request, short SEMA, has already facilitated our goods logistics for some years. We have now completed the software by the SEMA App to enable our electricians on the installation site to have access to our material supply. The development took about four months; currently our employees are testing the app in the operative application.
Once a year we carry out a customer survey. Only thanks to the honest feedback of our customers we can meet their needs even better. Specific questions concerning product properties, support, scheduling or service can be answered and constructive feedback on issues such as additional services or industry 4.0 may be given.
We look back on our first online live lecture on the subject of ‘Virtual start-up‘ with great satisfaction. We decided to go this electronic way as the long-lasting Corona restrictions have made it difficult to visit our customers. Martin Müller and Robert Heislbetz gave a presentation to the nearly 30 connected customers via webinar. The focus was on the numerous additional benefits that can be realized with a virtual start-up.
The SPANGLER Versiontool is a programme, completely developed in-house, to access quickly and targeted the corresponding project files during and after the creation phase of software projects. A structured filing, a well-arranged status maintenance and a clear version archive have enabled us since then a transparent administration of our projects.
As a long-term Siemens Solution Partner for Advanced Factory Automation, SPANGLER was additionally certified at Siemens for the section Industrial Strength Networks.
