Current geopolitical changes are driving industry further into crisis mode in many different countries. It’s a very different story in the USA, where industry is booming – is this an opportunity for Germany and Europe? And what’s the position regarding new growth prospects through technologies such as AI, specifically in plant engineering? In this interview, we discuss trends and prospects with Prof. Niko Mohr, who is a Friedhelm Loh Group board member and CEO of Rittal International and Rittal Software Systems.
How can successful industrial businesses increase their proportion of in-house production? That was the question facing the Austrian company Hargassner. This leading supplier of biomass heating systems now manufactures its switchgear on a highly automated basis throughout the entire value chain – thanks to software and hardware solutions from Eplan and Rittal.
Cideon found the perfect partner for developing a state-of-the-art solution for ordering spare parts – kolb Cleaning Technology GmbH. The result is a digital spare parts catalogue for kolb customers – and a fully developed standard solution for all Cideon customers. It’s a win-win!
The Institut Cartogràfic i Geològic de Catalunya (ICGC) in Barcelona specialises in areas such as cartography, geology and geophysics. Its work generates more and more digital data, which is now hosted in a new data centre in the same building.
Time and cost pressures are rising and there’s a skills shortage – the panel building and switchgear manufacturing sector continues to be under a lot of pressure. What’s needed are ways to speed things up in plant engineering – when it comes to power distribution technology, for instance. There’s now a solution – RiLineX, a new, open platform system for even more efficient planning and faster installation of 60 mm busbar systems. This boosts efficiency by up to 50 percent.
On the water, on land and in the air – Friedhelm Loh Group solutions are in use wherever having a reliable IT infrastructure, a secure energy supply or weather-resistant enclosures is a must.
Racing from zero to a hundred in terms of popularity since it opened last year, Nationales Automuseum – The Loh Collection has become a new dream destination for car lovers and technophiles from all over the world. The museum now has a special exhibition dedicated to the legendary Ferrari brand and is also stepping up its commitment as an academic hub.
