ADVERTORIAL TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION
Schmersal produces Bluetooth modules for aconno
T
he Schmersal Group’s Wettenberg production site in the German state of Hesse has begun production of
wireless modules for aconno GmbH. aconno, a young start-up based in Düsseldorf, Germany, develops Internet of Things and Industry 4.0 solutions including Bluetooth and sensor modules and development kits. Its users include companies in the automation industry, as well as the buildings and property industries. Part of the work in Wettenberg includes the assembly
of circuit boards for aconno on the SMD line. The SMD line is a state-of-the-art assembly line for circuit boards, which was modernised by Schmersal only two years ago and which can now handle up to 60,000 components every hour. ‘The first production batches for aconno have yield- ed convincing results. We are also pleased that we can better utilise the capacity of our assembly system,’ explains Dittmar Ruehl, deputy plant manager at Schmersal in Wettenberg. ‘In the future, we plan to start producing the entire portfolio for aconno in Wettenberg.’

market leader in producing pasteurising and cooling tunnels for nearly 50 years. When this long standing customer needed to promptly merge sites and rapidly increase production volume, Holmach and NIKO were the obvious choice Site space constraints were a particular challenge to this project. NIKO overcame this by designing the new 20-
L
metre long tunnel to be slid on top of an existing NIKO machine to allow for a “double deck” operation. NIKO designed a leg support structure that was able to support the new deck whilst still allowing full access to the exist- ing lower tunnel. NIKO delivered the machine and effectively dealt with a number of challenging sceanrio’s to ensure that the
start-up of the line went smoothly. Featuring a patented pump design, the NIKO unit offers savings of 50% of the energy costs compared with off the shelf pump/motor combinations. Delivering double the flowrate means that good temperature distribution across each deck is guaranteed. Chilled water is used to rapidly lower the tempera- ture after filling and the cooler features a double skin construction allowing insulation, again concentrating on energy optimisation. Pasteurising and cooling tunnels can be constructed to any size and with multiple zones, specific temperatures can be set and held for any desired thermal process. The continuous flow generates great line efficiencies too!
