Aucotec continues to grow
Aucotec AG, the engineering software developer based in Hannover, Germany,
can look back on the most successful financial year in its 34-year history.
Sales in 2018/19 reached € 21.8 million, exceeding not only the previous year’s
result by 13 %, but also the original expectations. This development also
continued in some subsidiaries. Thus, Aucotec Shanghai Ltd. almost doubled
its turnover. The French branch Aucotec SARL in Dijon is reporting an
increase in turnover of 44 %. “The decisive reason for these
very pleasing figures is our cooperative platform
Engineering Base Plant (EB). Its unique ability to
accelerate highly complex processes, especially for
the oil, gas, chemical and pharmaceutical industries,
has already secured im portant major orders in
the current financial year,” explained Aucotec board
member Uwe Vogt (picture).

Siemens receives upgrade
contract for Munich Airport
Siemens Logistics
has received an
order to
upgrade the
baggage
handling
system in
Terminal 2
and its satellite
building at the
Franz Josef
Strauss Airport in
Munich. By integrating
innovative screening units, Siemens
supports the customer to ensure that
international specifications for baggage
checking are met to the highest degree,
and to continue to successfully manage the
ever-increasing number of passengers. The
customer is the “Terminal 2 Gesellschaft”, a
joint subsidiary of Munich Airport and
Lufthansa. This upgrade to the current safety
and security regulations for baggage
handling, which require explosives detection
systems based on Standard 3 of the European
Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC), calls
for replacement of the X-ray equipment in
the baggage handling system. Siemens is also
implementing screening units of the latest
generation that provide high-resolution
3D-imaging and enhanced scanning quality.
