Our traditional ski trip took us this year to the "Goldsmith of the Arlberg" Warth-Schröcken.
We didn't take home three Olympic medal winners, but still covered some kilometers of slopes with aplomb.
Even a cloudy view couldn't dampen our spirits. It was again a great time out for winter sports enthusiasts. The physical well-being was taken care of in the huts.

...Christmas party!
We started with a warm-up training so that everyone was fit for the company quiz. Santa Claus also came by and, as always, knew everything about everyone... Every review strengthened the laughing muscles!
After the great dinner we made three bowling alleys unsafe. It was fun!

Case Study
Passion of erler gmbh: automation technology and robotics.
Based in Germany, Dormettingen, erler GmbH builds robot cells for handling technology to
position customer-specific workpieces from A to B, subject to certain cycle time and quality
requirements. The supply and removal of parts is also an issue.
Thus, erler GmbH manufactures semi-automatic and fully automatic machines that are
used in assembly, machine loading and unloading or test automation.

erler relies on additive manufacturing with fibre materials.
Carbon fibre, glass fibre or Kevlar with PA6:
Since 2020 we have been manufacturing our mechanical assemblies from various innovative composite materials with our own 3D printer, depending on the required stiffness and strength.
The workpieces are designed in Solid-Works and then exported to the printer "Hildegard".

For her debut and as a thank you for the warm welcome, the new colleague invited her team to a carriage ride.
With the horse and carriage we went up to one of the
"10 thousand" in our beautiful region to enjoy the wonderful view while having a drink.
We concluded the evening with a cosy dinner.
It was probably our first, but not last carriage ride...
Many thanks to the coachman and tour guide Joachim of „rosszeit“!

Already in 2019 erler started the project "Control cabinet construction 4.0". The goal was defined as the optimization of the value-added chain in switch cabinet construction, starting with engineering, throughout the entire production process, and ending with the delivery of the switch cabinet. Thus, even before the start of production, a "digital twin" of the control cabinet is intended to prevent errors during assembly and to use other important data for work preparation.
In the first step, a digitalization concept was developed with the EPLAN study "Schaltschrankbau 4.0" serving as a source of ideas. The process was started with the introduction of EPLAN Pro Panel in electrical design, thus creating the basis for all further processes. After familiarization with this software tool, the necessary standards were defined and the necessary data entered to create a 3D control cabinet layout. The processes were tested on several projects and refined as required. As a result, two additional workstations were equipped with EPLAN Pro Panel at the beginning of 2020.
The next steps of the digitalization process are already being developed or implemented.

The first erler ski trip took place on 24 January. Early in the morning, the eleven courageous skiers and snowboarders set off in high spirits for the Silvretta Montafon ski area.
After an entertaining ride, the participants arrived at the ski area in brilliant sunshine. Having bought the lift tickets, they took the gondola up into the mountains and the fun on the slopes could begin. At the following lunch the erler-employees exchanged their experiences before they went back to the ski slopes. Due to the good conditions, the participants were able to demonstrate their skills until shortly before the lift closed.
At the end of the day all erler-employees came back from the ski trip healthy and safe and all agreed: The first erler-ski trip was a complete success and will definitely be repeated next year.

erler automation . robotik builds semi-automatic machines for assembly and testing systems. Depending on customer requirements, desired cycle time and ergonomics, the semi-automatic machine can be equipped with a light curtain or closed safety door.
In this example in stainless steel design, the customer equips assemblies which are hardened by UV light. Various pneumatics and servo axes in the system position the products according to recipe management.

With a Fanuc robot M-20 with 1850mm reach, workpieces with different dimensions are picked up from two possible pallet locations and placed on the feed table of a press. With two spindle axes on the gripper, the squeegees are moved over the 7th and 8th robot axis depending on the variant selection. A printed vacuum suction gripper fixes the individual workpieces. A pneumatic gate enables the operator to load new pallets during production time without interrupting the machine. The operator can also teach-in new products in the recipe management.

Afterwards, there was to be a short hike to the neighbouring village for a joint stopover. Due to the bad weather only a part of the staff went there. The rest went by car. There we spent a cosy evening with delicious food and a nice get together.

At erler gmbh the main focus is on tangibly improving processes. This was also the task that Elias Ruggaber set himself in his final technician’s project. The goal was to merge the results of two final technician’s projects and thus develop a sequential control system for a robot using an S7-1500 via Modbus TCP. The plan is to use the optimized system to highlight the opportunities offered by automation during the erler Open House Day.

MINT is the German acronym for Mathematics, Engineering Sciences, Natural Sciences and Technology: erler is not the only company that is dependent on young talents who have studied so-called MINT subjects. The competitions that have been instilling enthusiasm for such topics in young people for decades are the German youth science competition for young people from the age of 15 “Jugend forscht” (“youth researches”) and its junior partner for the under 15s “Schüler experimentieren” (“pupils experiment”).
For the tenth time in a row the state final of “Schüler experimentieren” was held in Balingen. The winners from the eleven regions of Baden-Württemberg competed in the fields of the work environment, biology, chemistry, geo- and space sciences, mathematics/IT, physics, and technology.
erler is proud of its role as main backer and sponsor of the state final. The works exhibited impress us again and again due to their creativity, and the young talents themselves never fail to amaze us due to the enthusiasm they show for their subject.

As a regional company, we believe we have a responsibility for our local area. That is why we support DRK Schömberg, the German Red Cross unit in Schömberg. It was also thanks to our donation that it was possible to replace the emergency vehicle, which was getting a bit long in the tooth, with a new one.

The erler workforce was literally up on high during its Christmas party. The program began in the Dormettingen plant with a presentation by the management board to review the developments of the previous year. The day then continued with a trip to Rottweil – right to the very top: with 232 meters, the visitor platform on the thyssenkrupp test tower is the highest in the whole of Germany. Mesmerized by impressions of the magnificent panorama and the Swabian Jura, he workforce then whiled away the evening with a meal in a restaurant in Rottweil.
