Action:

Introduction of the APROL process control system at CHT in Dusslingen to automate the production of chemical additives.

Achievement:

The aim of introducing the new process control system was to improve system reliability, product quality and product reporting. This was intended to make the production process more flexible in addition to reducing operating costs. The system monitors the entire plant, with diagnosis and engineering also taking place centrally.

The excellent working relationship with CHT was intensified through mutual synergies throughout the course of the project, being widely accepted by all CHT employees involved.

With the APROL process control system, we added yet another innovative technological package, further expanding our range of services.

Action:

Seminar at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) on jobs in industry and electronics

Achievement:

On November 16, 2011, our two trainees attended an IHK preparation seminar. As training ambassadors, they visited classrooms, reporting on their job activities. In addition to general information intended to help pupils in their choice of career, they will also be passing on positive impressions to the graduates regarding the excellent training opportunities at erler.

Action:

Operating system electronics training

Achievement:

The Chamber of Trade and Industry (IHK) exam was successfully completed. Achieving a ‘very good’ grade, he was one of the best in his class. His hard work during his training was rewarded with an employment contract at erler. The real-world training provided by the committed erler team made the transition into working life easy for Manuel. His next goal: to attend engineering college.

Action:

Conception of the control system and development and commissioning of 2nd line, measuring 100m by 50m within two years time; the 3rd line is being set up and will go into operation in the summer of 2012. All three lines will replace obsolete Russian production lines from the sixties.

Achievement:

The new system achieves higher component quality while increasing production at the same time. The particular challenge in designing the system was the client’s wish for it to be easy to operate. The foreign language and differing culture, combined with complex technical processes, made the task particularly challenging.

A technical highlight of this system is the ability for CAD drawings to be imported straight into the control system and immediately plotted onto a palette.

The installation of a European-standard control system for servicing ensured a transfer of expertise to the Russian end client (OAO Zavod zschelezobetonnych izdelij-6 / ZHBI6).

Both circulation systems, which went into operation in 2009 and 2011, were visited by a delegation of high-ranking individuals from politics and the construction industry on April 25, 2011, led by Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. The delegation was impressed by the plant's output capacity, which is setting new standards in terms of efficiency and quality in Russia’s construction industry through the innovative production of precast concrete parts.

Action:

Cooperation with the Atelier Türke group located in Balingen-Weilstetten to implement the new corporate design for our website, business stationery and building signage.

Achievement:

The relocation into our new building also marks the new chapter of our company’s history externally. Therefore we launched an advertisement agency pitch to find appropriate creative partners. We chose the Atelier Türke group, a one-stop advertising agency, that also offers exhibition stand construction and Internet specialists know-how. We were impressed by their engaging combination of outstanding creative services and down-to-earth style.

In order to explore what gives the company its identity, Atelier Türke prepared and ran a workshop. In this course it showed that our existing slogan ‘Actions for success’ continues to convey the message we want to send out, but it has not been used consistently enough. Atelier Türke therefore developed - based on this slogan - an end-to-end communications strategy.

The most noticeable example of that is this website, where we communicate our individual employees’ actions and the success resulting from them. As the personal relationship we have with our customers is very important to us, a completely new way of presenting all our employees also formed part of the strategy – to be seen on every business card and here on the pages of this website.
