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 />

Industrial automation, building automation,<br />

intralogistics and energy<br />

monitoring - Lanfer Automation is<br />

your skilled partner for automation<br />

solutions. ◀<br />
