Production

Those who assert themselves in demanding markets must be able to rely on state-of-the-art technology. Therefore, we uncompromisingly rely on the "Made in Germany" seal of quality in the production of our cabs. Our qualified employees manufacture innovative cabs at our company site in Lahr based on the highest quality standards. We have consistently optimised our production processes in the past. The focus here is on an integrated lean management.  This has resulted in the establishment of synchronized production lines in all areas, in which the cabins are manufactured using the One-Piece Flow process. In this way, the production time could be significantly shortened.

 

Quality management and internal proposal management

Thanks to our internal suggestion system, employees can submit their ideas for improving the product both within and across departments using a self-developed "NIO" system. These improvements are then forwarded as an action to the responsible department and implemented accordingly. Our customers benefit from the fact that the products are being permanently improved.

Project Management

The processing of new projects always followed a standardised procedure:
Once all details have been determined together with our customer and the order has been received, the next steps are taken. A project plan with milestones is worked out, which is also given to our customers. Thus, our customer has transparency about the timeline and the status of the project and stays in the middle instead of being left out. Through permanent communication during the development phase, the customer will receive a product that exactly meets his requirements.

Manufacturing shell construction

All common welding methods (MIG, MAG, TIG...) are used in the carcass. All components and final products are manufactured on 3D worktables to ensure 100% accuracy of fitting. Our welders are trained in the best possible way through permanent further training. Production in synchronized lines ensures that the batch sizes are completely processed in the shortest possible lead time.

Painting department

We paint in wet paint process and have washing, sandblasting, painting and sanding booths. In order to achieve a fast throughput time, the products are dried in a special drying oven after painting. These inhouse facilities enable us to cover all standard corrosion classes up to C5M (which corresponds to maritime painting). We can meet even the highest requirements like NORSOK.

Assembly in Lahr

A state of the art and highly efficient flow line production allows for a short lead time. By means of a ONE-piece philosophy, the commissioned assembly parts are supplied to the individual assembly station. This allows a high variance of a product to be excellently handled.  We can also react very flexibly to short-term change requests. Our customers highly appreciate this.
