Database driven product information management solution facilitates marketing of 11,000 articles in 28 languages Waiblingen. The MENNEKES Elektrotechnik GmbH & co. KG has changed its product information management (PIM) on the database-based PIM-system ASIM. The company is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of industrial plugs and Sockets, and sells a diverse range in 90 countries. ASIM MENNEKES now optimizes the processes surrounding the creation of technical catalogues and product information in 28 languages. MENNEKES relies on a cross-media solution for print and online projects. In addition to ease of use and the user-friendly interface of ASIM convinced above all the possibility to expand the system to an enterprise-wide information management solution and to seamlessly integrate translation technology. In addition, ASIM supports the commonly used in the electrical industry standard for the data exchange of ETIM.

Heart of the ASIM solution is a central, standardized database, the Stores information on 11,000 articles of the MENNEKES range media-neutral and managed. The high granularity and the decoupling of data modeling, management and utilization allow to use all the information without limitation or previous setting. This brings higher efficiency in the communication processes for Maha. A competitive advantage applies to the globally operating medium-sized it yet, sauerland Headquarters from sales activities in 90 countries to control and to prepare the information on the products in 28 languages. ASIM is the appropriate tool to potential when creating sales documents such as technical catalogues, to lift price lists and assembly instructions. With the launch of the project in the second half of 2009 data storage was set up at first scratch. The practice test, ASIM has already passed: In September 2009 a 20-seitiger short form catalog was generated from the new system out smoothly. In March 2010, the product pages of standard articles from the MENNEKES range in the new, were generated strong over 400 pages, master catalogue from the database.

Manipulators and other lifting accessories in many manufacturing processes used today more and more machines and robots. The manipulator is especially versatile, a device made of Robotics who access the lifting and moving of different loads can be accomplished. For this there is a movable arm which can be controlled either hydraulic or electric loads increase and move. So the workers must exert slight pressure or tensile, unerringly to move heavy loads. Also decreases the risk of injury when dealing with bulky, heavy or sharp objects this of course.

Not forget not the protection of employees can of course also. Because without robotic assistance has recorded a substantial part of the sickness due to wear of the muscular and skeletal system. The manipulator will help to minimize these costly sick days, or to prevent. The manipulator can easily take up to several hundred kilograms depending on the type and move. The force, to do so by the operator must be exercised, is negligible, as any movement is extremely reinforced.

Of course, complex movements such as rotate and tilt can be performed easily. Any movements of the manipulator are naturally infinitely variable, so that a high level of comfort can be achieved. Depending on the request, the manipulator can be fix installed or available on wheels. The rigid guidance of the load has can be raised of course the advantage of the far greater loads. Also, adverse situations can be achieved, as the unit is very well established. So also eccentrically located loads can be recorded and stable moves. While this can be attached to the ceiling, as well as on a pillar or similar, to achieve a maximum freedom of movement. Depending on your needs, the manipulator can be equipped also with shorter or longer poor and various hand tools. So the load can perfectly adapted to your own needs, which allows a particularly effective use!

Too little passion for technology: The engineer shortage paralyses the German economic engine? Cologne/Dusseldorf, August 30, 2010 – a dramatic shortage of engineers analyzed the Institut der Deutschen Wirtschaft in Cologne. Nearly one-third of the scientific technical workers in German high-tech firms are engineers and scientists. However it could be even more according to IW investigations, because many vacancies are unfilled. In July of this year alone, 36,800 engineers were missing. A key reason is the increasing lack of offspring. 1,000 employed engineers were only 35 degrees of in engineering in the year 2007 in Germany, in the Czech Republic, there were 214, French neighbours of 73, in Belgium 111.

The special problem of this development: Just high technology, which includes industries such as machinery and vehicle construction as well as the chemical industry contributes significantly to the current upswing and is Germany’s economic motor. This, according to the Institute, is also in other European States the case, but have to fight the competition there much less with youth problems. Thus, the policy in this country well would do to mitigate the situation, for example, would more interesting designs in the schools of science and technology, but also making it easier would foreign engineers, to accept a job in Germany. Perhaps, this development again draws the eye that the interest of the pupils and students in science is expandable. Often encounter”just that educators should inspire young people to new technologies, the bio -, gene – and information technologies as well as the technically-based courses and occupations with less interest, commented the personnel expert Udo Nadolski, Managing Director of the consulting firm specializing in strategic leadership, technical recruitment and outsourcing services Harvey Nash in Dusseldorf. If the secondary performance courses in mathematics, physics and chemistry be always thinner occupied, one need not be surprised about the lack of engineers. Young inventor led a shadowy existence in Germany therefore sometimes, so Nadolski. The Association of electrical, electronic and information technologies (VDE) had already in the spring on the dramatic development in the engineering pointed out.

Almost 80 percent of 1,300 companies surveyed the industry confirmed at that time that the engineering workforce is increasingly older and move up to a few new recruits. In particular in the areas of planning, design, engineering, research and development as well as sales and marketing, staffing rule. In the study, 92 percent of respondents stated that graduates of the electrical and information technology despite the economic crisis have good career prospects. In the future, to meet the need for young scientists in the field of electrical engineering and information technology, thus almost every second respondent company wants to rely on graduates related subjects in particular on Scientists and computer scientists.

Questionnaire: a systematic analysis of the location would be as urgent and attached each site has its own individual profile and requires a concept precisely tailored to that for its development and marketing. In this context questions arise again and again such as: those politically and technically in charge of the site have identified all success-relevant quality / success factors and processes of the site fully/consistently and transparently traceable (E.g. with a way for financiers familiar) and documented? It publishes internally from the own perspective of the site an informed opinion about what / s weight/priority each location factor in individual cases is (location own image analysis)? Have politically and professionally responsible, which weight externally from the point of view of the site in-depth knowledge of third parties (E.g., local companies, settlement interested investors and others) specific location factors is associated (site third-party image analysis)? Have the politically and technically Responsible of the site an overview, what dynamic effect relationships, lever – and feedback effects between individual factors exist and such necessary specifically to represent would be? Are all the planned measures examined accordingly, as they can affect every single location factor? A non-financial balance sheet with all soft exists for the site”location factors, to quickly respond to audience (E.g. as a communication platform for different political levels, investors requests, facilitation of planning and decision-making processes with involved different interests among others) and understand to be able to submit the prepared site reports? “Or over currently in discussion balance sheets (assets of the commune) beyond all success-related, including soft” location factors to identify in an order (E.g. after site processes, success factors, human factors, structure factors, Standort-Beziehungs-faktoren) to bring a comprehensible relation below and to each other and then a single assessment process according to quantity, quality, classification/sustainability, as well as a measurement with specific core indicators lead to? Or to be able to discuss the potential of the location factors of uniform, commonly understood information based on targeted and erfolgsbezogen? Can all success factors and processes at any time diagrams of consistently coordinated (E.g. potential portfolio profile diagrams, traffic charts, graphical location factor effect networks) in an easily understandable form for the site are presented, analyzed and communicated?.

The technology of the PESA Weighing technology is independent of the site, so also from the sea level, and can cope with a tilted up to 15 per cent”, so Gianotti on the multi-interval scale with 3 x 3000e. A multi-interval scale offers greater flexibility compared to multi range scales the end user due to their partial measuring ranges. Both the change in a lower portion, as well as in increasing scale tare or by using a predefined before load value is possible. As it becomes increasingly important particularly in the logistics sector to combine the processes of dimensioning, weighing and scanning (DWS) in merchandise management, PESA on the post-Expo from 29 September to 1 October (Hall 2, booth 4051) in Hanover the DWS presents 510 in the combination of static weighing, dynamic measurement of volume and manual bar code identification with integrated roller conveyor. With the DWS 510 company within 1.5 seconds can determine the bar code and in a single step at the same time, volume and weight. The trend-setting Logistics system to optimize the management of shipping, so Gianotti, support not only the rapid and targeted goods movement, storage and deployment, but also more transparent and safer for the transport expenses make the processes through data parallel provided.

Many machine manufacturers seize the opportunities of the aftermarket not around one-third of the German mechanical engineering company not even exploiting one-fifth of their market potential in the after sales service self-professed and this can as in new machine business even though earnings are 8 to 10 times higher when product-related services with an EBIT between 15% and 25%. This revenue and earning potential by many manufacturers not be used, also not the many other benefits, that the after sales if provides professionally operated. There is above all the customer loyalty. “Although everyone knows the truism: the sales sold the first machine, each additional service”, a sustainable consequence for the philosophy is but not derived. Also the feedback from the market provides crucial information for the further development and improvement of its products.

So what prevents firms from to professionalize their after sales service and to expand it? It hangs at many companies with the conservative self understanding together. Many companies have their market positions up and expanded, it was sufficient to provide a good machine, and at best the customer commissioned to put this. But long gone are those days. Today, customers expect a significantly beyond the initial period of the machine cooperation by their suppliers. Only who identifies himself with the problems of its clients, the user of the machine, the willingness to participate in problem solving brings or has even tailor-made problem solutions around the core product in the portfolio, will survive in the long term. But exactly this paradigm shift in the head, this shift from pure supplier to a production partner”of customers find very difficult many companies, not to mention the practical implementation in the company structure and functioning. For example, the structure: in a minority of companies after sales service is considered important business field and as such directly managing director subordinate. For many companies, the service ekes out an existence as an appendage to the installation or distribution.
