With its headquarters in Borken-Weseke,<br />
Lanfer Automation is a leading company when<br />
it comes to individual solutions for automation<br />
and switch cabinet manufacture, and that<br />
throughout Germany. In an interesting lecture<br />
and brief films Marcus Kuhlmann demonstrates<br />
what <strong>the</strong> experts from Borken can do.<br />
Industrial automation<br />
fast, reliable and pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
Lanfer Automation is able to draw on experience<br />
and skill built up over many years for <strong>the</strong><br />
planning, design and realisation <strong>of</strong> complete<br />
and complex automation solutions in all areas.<br />
"We are able to cover <strong>the</strong> complete spectrum<br />
in electrical engineering and always adapt to<br />
your individual needs," explains Markus Kuhlmann.<br />
<strong>The</strong> expert knows that a higher level <strong>of</strong><br />
pr<strong>of</strong>itability as a result <strong>of</strong> optimised processes<br />
is in greater demand than ever before and <strong>the</strong><br />
logical consequence <strong>of</strong> Lanfer Automation's<br />
work<br />
Building automation -recognizing and exploiting<br />
<strong>the</strong> potential for savings<br />
in your building<br />
It started with a vision which came into<br />
Managing Director Alfred Lanfer's mind a few<br />
years ago and refused to go away: an intelligent<br />
building that uses IT solutions to direct<br />
<strong>the</strong> focus to what is important whilst saving<br />
energy. "Nowadays our<br />
company<br />
headquarters<br />
in Borken<br />
has been modernised appropriately and is <strong>the</strong><br />
best possible demonstration <strong>of</strong> what can be<br />
achieved through building automation," says<br />
Kuhlmann. <strong>The</strong> conference room, for example,<br />
can be booked virtually, and when in use <strong>the</strong><br />
temperature is optimised through heating in<br />
<strong>the</strong> winter and cooling in <strong>the</strong> summer.<br />
"Sensors - and this is what is special about it<br />
- inform <strong>the</strong> air conditioning, heating, lighting<br />
and shade systems so that <strong>the</strong>y ensure an optimal<br />
climate and perfect lighting conditions<br />
in <strong>the</strong> room," explains Markus Kuhlmann. <strong>The</strong><br />
data is collected so that after only a short time<br />
<strong>the</strong> first graphs <strong>of</strong> requirements are available<br />
and maintenance tasks can be identified at an<br />
early stage. <strong>The</strong> conference rooms in Borken-Weseke<br />
are also equipped with illuminated<br />
door handles so that one can tell from outside<br />
whe<strong>the</strong>r a room is occupied or free. "<strong>The</strong> potential<br />
for savings in energy consumption and<br />
time management are obvious and <strong>of</strong> interest<br />
to many <strong>of</strong> our, and perhaps also to your, customers,"<br />
Kuhlmann asserts.<br />
<strong>The</strong> linking <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> individual trades with<br />
one ano<strong>the</strong>r is a completely distinctive feature<br />
brought about by Lanfer Automation's staff.<br />
Intralogistics <strong>The</strong> basis for an optimal flow<br />
<strong>of</strong> goods<br />
Good, satisfactory logistics<br />
proceed from a<br />
smooth flow <strong>of</strong> goods.<br />
"For that <strong>the</strong> individual<br />
processes<br />
must coordinate<br />
perfectly with<br />
one ano<strong>the</strong>r, and we achieve this through tailor-made<br />
solutions," says Kuhlmann. "We are<br />
a reliable partner and guarantee tailor-made<br />
systems for <strong>the</strong> decisive processes." With <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
carefully trained eye, <strong>the</strong> experts at Lanfer Automation<br />
identify potential for improvement,<br />
plan and realise <strong>the</strong> automation process.<br />
Energy monitoring - detect and remedy<br />
weak areas<br />
Says Markus Kuhlmann, "<strong>The</strong> fourth, and<br />
still very new, pillar <strong>of</strong> Lanfer Automation is<br />
so-called energy monitoring. Through this we<br />
are reacting to current developments: energy<br />
prices are rising and nobody can afford or<br />
wants to waste energy." By means <strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
which analyses <strong>the</strong> energy consumption within<br />
a company, <strong>the</strong> consumption <strong>of</strong> individual<br />
machines or whole plants can be recorded in<br />
detail.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> aim is to introduce optimisation measures<br />
based on <strong>the</strong> results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> monitoring.<br />
This s<strong>of</strong>tware is definitely <strong>of</strong> interest for a wide<br />
range <strong>of</strong> potential customers, such as local municipalities,<br />
businesses, industry and <strong>the</strong> housing<br />
industry.<br />
Businesses in particular are taking a closer<br />
look at <strong>the</strong> topic <strong>of</strong> "saving energy"," <strong>the</strong> expert<br />
explains.<br />
