The magazine of Friedhelm Loh Group
Since it opened, 130,000 people have come to see for themselves what the German “Stern” magazine called “Europe’s most spectacular car museum”. Some have even come to study and learn – because the museum is also a university campus and a knowledge hub. Prof. Wolfgang Henseler, one of Germany’s leading design experts, is responsible for the “museum as a centre of learning” concept.
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.
There are companies out there that, despite being global leaders in their industries, often aren’t that well-known. Poly-clip System is one of these hidden champions. The packaging specialist is in the top league – not only in terms of innovations, but also when it comes to sustainability. For its plastics technology, the company puts its trust in LKH as its most important development partner and producer.
You don’t need to be a specialist to perform accurate thermal calculations for enclosures – not even when standard-compliant proof of energy efficiency or the carbon footprint is called for. That’s because RiTherm, the new design tool from Rittal, enables users to calculate the necessary enclosure climate control – and much more besides – in next to no time.
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.
Any transformation offers an opportunity to do things better – including at Huhtamaki Foodservice, which makes packaging for McDonald’s and Nestlé. The company is switching production at its German site from plastic thermoforming to pulp moulding. It is also rethinking system documentation, using Rittal ePocket to create transparency – and also to save paper.
