The Production Network is growing beyond itself
Saxon league will attend with his new network partner as well as the patented laser protection system the Hannover Fair
Limbach-Oberfrohna, Gelenau, Hartmannsdorf, Mülsen:
„The Production Network“ will present his new partner of the saxon league at this year’s Hannover Fair from 25th until 29th of April: Schwalbe Metallbau GmbH. On the network stand F24/2, (6) in Hall 4, they will also present market innovations such as the patented laser protection system “A-Protection“ as well as longstanding success stories of the from now on seven partner companies. One example: the delivery of the 500th hull machine, manufactured in real teamwork.
Since September 2015, the company Schwalbe Metallbau GmbH from Mülsen acts as new, powerful partner in the Production Network. With the strength of 80 employees, the company stands for excellence in the field of steel construction and engineering. They cut, bend, weld, paint and mount up to 10 tons workpiece weight in the area of serial production and even more then 10 tons in the area of individual production. “We are able to extend the portfolio of the Production Network in the fields of sheet metal processing and steelwork design and we can develop further the output capacity of the network in the field of engineering and plant construction at the same time”, explains Marko Seidler, CEO of Schwalbe Metallbau GmbH.
Market innovation: laser protection system “A-Protection“ reaches series production readiness
The modular laser protection system “A –Protection” is an example of inventiveness and real teamwork „Made in Saxony“ which will be presented in the serial production design at the Hannover Fair. The laser protection wall from high quality materials and durable construction design ensures maximum protection against hazardous radiation. By stringing together, the individual wall elements can be combined to create a powerful laser protection cabin. The cabin encapsulates the working space and therefore ensures a reliable passive protection with modern 3D laser cutting and laser welding unit. Even highly brilliant laser with a power up to 10 kW cannot penetrate into this laser protection. Strayed laser beams caused by scattering or direct reflection can therefore pose no risk to the health of the operating personal. The highlight of this solution is that the wall will not be damaged and the machine can always continue to work unhindered.
The laser protection system „A-Protection“is a patented innovation of the network partner ANTARES GmbH. “Only with the background of the Production Network, we are able to serve numerous potential partners mainly from the area automotive smoothly and in time”, explains Jörg Bergelt, CEO of the ANTARES GmbH. Each step in the production of the laser protection system is implemented within the Production Network – from the design through production and coating, up to the assembly of the plants.
Anniversary: 500th hull machine leaves the factory halls of GEMAG
The following anniversary shows how successfully the Production Network implements their major projects in the sectors of agricultural engineering, mechanical engineering, rail vehicle construction, special vehicle manufacturing as well as medical technology and apparatus construction: In January 2016 the 500th hull machine left the factory halls of the Gelenauer Maschinenbau AG. “500 machines of this complex type in barely five years are a masterpiece because the serial nature in the sector of German mechanical engineering is declining”, said Hans-Peter Weise, executive board of GEMAG. The further expansion of the business segment mechanical engineering components – especially machinery bodies, hull or base machine and tool magazines – is only realizable within the strong community of the Production Network. Know-how and capacity for the therefore required steel structures, sheet metal parts, sheet covering and complete enclosures, coatings according to customer requirements as well as stainless steel components will be provided efficiently and in time by the network partners.

The Production Network expands production capacities
Strong production with service ambition is present on SIT Chemnitz
Limbach-Oberfrohna/Gelenau/Hartmannsdorf: The Production Network shows highligths even in the fifth year of the cooperation. The six partner companies from Saxony stand for performance power with service ambition. The Network is present on the SIT, the Saxon industry and technology trade from the 14. until 16. Mai 2014, in hall 1 at the booth F4. High-quality product news, mobile concepts as interface between business software and production as well as innovative production processes are represented.
One network, six specialists with organisation talent: The companies OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG, GEMAG Gelenauer Maschinenbau AG, AMS Technology GmbH, LOV Limbacher Oberflächenveredlung GmbH, ANTARES - industrielles Engineering - GmbH as well as DELTA BARTH Systemhaus GmbH realise together industrial large projects. From the construction until the implementation of the plants – all working steps are reproduced within the Production Network. That means for the customers: one contact partner for the whole project, fast and exact order procedure as well as technology on top level.
At the IT-user forum which takes place during the SIT the Production Network presents two papers which show in details the purpose of business software for the simplification of the daily working processes as well as an energy-efficient handling with company resources:
- 15. Mai 2014, 4:00 pm
Sustainability pays – energy efficiency by software support
Consultants: Martin Lippmann (DELTA BARTH), Jörg Seiche (LOV) - 16. Mai 2014, 2:30 pm
Usability – About the meaning of the usability of business software at the example of ERP-systems
Consultants: Anett Klein (DELTA BARTH), Nina Bär (competence centre Usability for the middle class, TU Chemnitz)
The Production Network started convincingly to its anniversary year. The six partner companies offer many technological further developments and new production possibilities at the fifth anniversary. So, the AMS Technology GmbH installed a large clean room in which apparatuses and plants are produced under high purity requirements for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry. The grindery/surface technology of the company stands for the surface quality on top level which had been expanded to ca. 600 qm due to the positive order situation.
The GEMAG Gelenauer Maschinenbau AG also offers a lot of space for innovative ideas with its new 2,400 qm large assembly and stock hall. The network partner is also characterised by a sophisticated quality feature for the German tool machine building due to the new workplaces with anti-glare lighting for the hand-scraping of highly precise pieces. Furthermore, the company produces due to the highly modern CNC-large processing centre UNIPORT 7000 KW in the premium scope of the XXL-processing. The GEMAG invested about 25 Mio Euro at the location Gelenau in the last eleven years and can show today one of the most modern production locations in Europe in the scope of the large processing for the small and middle series production.
The specialist for machine housings, ANTARES GmbH, represents its new product series of laser protection cabins for lasers of high brilliance as they are used for example at modern 3D-laser cutting and welding plants. The construction and production of compact welding cells for the vehicle industry with ready-for-connection device and robot integration as well as modular transfer stations for transfer streets are further technical highlights of this network partner.
The Limbacher Oberflächenveredlung GmbH represents as specialist for high-class, scratch- and weather-resistant surface coatings in the inner and outdoor area. The contract coater, well known throughout Germany, had been awarded for its sustainable company concept – based on the highly modern and with it resource-economical powder and wet coating plant – with the "besser lackieren Green Award 2013". Furthermore, the LOV could receive the Saxon business energy pass as a further appreciation of the energy-political services from the Saxony minister of economy on the 04. April 2014.
In order to organise the processes within the company union more efficient and without media discontinuity all networkers work with the ERP-software DELECO® from the company DELTA BARTH Systemhaus GmbH. The software specialist goes for simple and traceable processes and presents two new Apps at the SIT that can be used for the registration of inventory data and stock transfers directly via smartphone or tablet-PC. Furthermore, DELTA BARTH presents its current software for the maintenance management, DELECO® IMS. The new version 6.31 which is available since April of this year stands for the continuous documentation, optimised fast accesses to processes that belong together thematically and logical usability at all levels.
The production network provides complete solutions with service ambition. The six companies realise their mutual projects for the general machine building, the optical as well as food processing industry and the tool machine building for example. The concept of the network functions worldwide: The plants from Saxony have already been in use in many countries of Europe, the USA, Japan as well as in the Arabic Area. This trend also brings out the balance of the partner OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG. The high-quality products of the company are required worldwide much stronger. The company could continue its increased international direction as system supplier with a strong diversified customer base in the most different scopes. In 2013, an export part of about 31 Prozent had been reached. Herewith, the high-power machine park of the OMEGA also plays a key role. In the year 2013, this had been added amongst others by a program-controlled welding robot of the company Cloos which has two welding stations for simultaneous setting-up and processes cycles as well as by a blasting cabin for the blast cleaning of single parts and boards before the surface treatment.

OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG contributes for hospice association in Limbach-Oberfrohna
Free hospice association expands offer for survivors in Limbach-Oberfrohna | OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG and AMS Technology GmbH contribute for the creation of a new mourning group
Limbach-Oberfrohna. The companies AMS Technology GmbH and OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG support the Freien Hospizvereins Erzgebirgsvorland e.V. with a contribution of 1.000 Euro. The companies get involved with its region under the motto „Gifts instead of give“ instead of donating christmas presents to business customers.
A heavy time begins for many people with the death of a beloved family member. The ambulant hospice and palliative consulting association of the Freien Hospizvereins Erzgebirgsvorland e.V. commits themselves to the headline "Shared instead of alone". A local group has already been active since three years in Limbach-Oberfrohna: The two employees and 17 voluntary hospice helpers accompany people in their last days of life and support the survivors in their mourning. Now, a mourning meeting place shall provide a protected room for encounters and the exchange of thoughts with other persons concerned.
The companies AMS Technology GmbH and OMEGA Blechbearbeitung AG get involved with the implementation of this group: "The work with dolorous people requires lots of commitment and empathy. We are looking forward to supporting those people with our contribution that give comfort and power", Dr. Uwe Landmann explains, managing director of the AMS Technology GmbH.
The first meeting of the mourning group will be taken place on the 12th February 2014. Then survivors can always come together at the second Wednesday of the month for the exchange. The participation is free of charge. "Due to the contribution, it is possible for us to finance the meetings. We have to rent rooms in order to provide enought space for alle dolorous people. Besides, we need materials for the planned creative offer because mourning needs a type of expression which can reach beyond talking", Rainer Schulz explains, chairman of the association. That is why the team includes common walks as well as floral creation or cooking.
As different we are as people as different the reaction is to the loss of a loving person. The mourning assistants help the survivors individually by accompanying visits and talks. The mourning group shall help the persons concerned to live their own life and to open themselves again: "It is often hard for dolorous people to look for new contacts after a loss and to go up to other people. The group provides the possibility for survivors to network again and to keep grounded in life again", Nadine Körner states, coordinator of the local group Limbach-Oberfrohna, from her experiences.
