Balingen 20th october 2010 - As a result, the 36-year-old graduate businessman is now in charge of the fortunes of the 100% subsidiary PESA with its logistics products and solutions, alongside the Bizerba "Industry Solutions" product organisation. All industry-relevant product families are therefore brought together under the responsibility of one managing director. Andreas Kraut is the great-grandson of the founder of the company and the son of the late head of Bizerba, Günther Kraut. His mother, Frigga Kraut, is the majority shareholder of Bizerba.

PESA Waagen AG became famous due to patenting the vibrating string weighing technique. The scales determine weight solely by using the frequency of a vibrating string and are therefore particularly precise and quick. In the logistics sector in particular, weighing processes no longer represent a bottleneck in material flow and goods processes. In fact, with periphery units, the scales can also became a complex data acquisition system.

An example: When combined with hardware and software components from Bizerba, the results are systems solutions which are particularly innovative for the logistics sector. This system can continuously size up, weigh and scan products automatically and supplies the data it collects to a host system. The Bizerba Parcel-Shipping-System software can then automatically determine the correct transport carrier. Companies can optimise their delivery management with this intelligent system solution and achieve considerable savings.

Individual hardware and software modules can be integrated flexibly into existing units. A consulting team from the Bizerba company accompanies the customer during installation and advises the customer in terms of how service contracts and financing options can be adjusted to their requirements.

Balingen/Eurasburg, 8th October 2010 ““ New business Bioland Packlhof farm is equipped with the cutting machine A510 from Bizerba. It reduces the “give away“ thanks to the integrated scale and ensures flawless work processes in handicraft businesses.

The co-operation with Bizerba started around ten years ago, when the technology manufacturer kitted the Bioland business out with labelling devices and scales and tills. The cutting machine A 500 was also put into operation here. “The Bizerba cutting machines impressed us even then and we were very satisfied with the service“, reports Josef Urban, owner and manager of Packlhof. Based on this good experience Josef Urban equipped his newly opened business in Eurasburg with Bizerba retail scales and the cutting machine A510.

“Our main business is to supply organic supermarkets such as Alnatura. As a purely handicraft business we have to manage a large range of products every day, which have to be cut, weighed, packed and delivered precisely to the gram“, explains Urban. “Therefore the integrated weighing function of the cutting machine is particularly helpful.“ Andreas Gmelin, Director of Food Processing at Bizerba, explains how they work: “First of all the target weight, slice thickness and storage method of the item to be cut using the menu. During the cutting process the product is being permanently weighed and the cut portion is compared with the target weight. The cutting machine regulates the slice thickness as needed using the software.“ The exact gram definition is very important to reduce the give away. “For uncalibrated products we calculate on average a 10% waste which is additionally packaged free of charge“, says Gmelin. The integrated weighing function therefore not only ensures a precise result to the gram, but also actively increases the company profit.

With the combination of cutting machines and scales you not only save on the give away, but also valuable work time and therefore personnel costs: “with normal cutting machines meat and sausage is first cut and then weighed. The A510 takes over the weighing from our butcher and therefore accelerates the processes“, comments Urban.

A further important criterion for buying the cutting machine for Josef Urban was the size: “Before making our decision we tried out cutting machines from other manufacturers, but these were purely industrial machines. The A510 best fulfils the needs of our operation“. Furthermore it is easy to clean and maintain. “Our employees are happy that you can sharpen the blade directly on the machine without disassembling it. Finally it can be cleaned quickly and easily ““ with our frequent product changes this is urgently necessary“, continues Urban.

Josef Urban was also sure about the choice of his scales for the new Bioland market: “In our first shop we had retail scales and tills both from Bizerba and from another manufacturer. But only the Bizerba devices definitively impressed us, so we equipped our new business with scales from Balingen“, reports Urban.

The Packlhof in Oberherrnhausen has been owned by the Urban family for 150 years. 20 years ago they founded their own butcher’s shop, in which exclusively products made according to the Bioland processing guidelines are offered. No flavourings or other chemical additives are used here. By refraining from using nitrite curing salt their products are not harmful to your health. House recommendation: the home made smoked turkey breast, meat loaf and the white sausage.

The post Bioland ““ Packlhof farm focuses on Bizerba’s intelligent cutting maschine appeared first on Submit Articles.

Balingen, July 23rd 2010 - Bizerba has equipped the check weighers of the CWE series with new operational options. Now they can be integrated into a double-tracked packaging line as a dual track version and weigh and classify up to 800 packages per minute. Also the performance of the optional metal detectors could be increased by 10 per cent; so even the smallest metal particles can be reliably detected in the future. For use in dusty and humid environments, the check weighers are from now on offered with hardened rollers. As these are not subject to abrasion, the belts remain white and have to be changed less frequently.

The new dual track solution

In double-tracked packaging lines with a high production throughput, the CWE 1500 will be integrated as a dual track version in the future. â€Å“The clients can decide themselves how they use the potential additional performance: they can either halve the transport speed of both belts and thereby significantly stabilise the production flow, making it more fail-safe or they can reach a new throughput record of up to 800 packages per minute by working both tracks at maximum speedâ€Â says Dieter Conzelmann, Director Industry Solutions at Bizerba. The Bizerba applications team provides customer-specific consultation for questions regarding system integration.

The CWE dual track is equipped with a 12.1â€â„¢Ãƒ¢â‚¬Ã¢â€ž¢ colour touch display on which the operator can view all relevant information regarding the production process. The display varies from a digital speed indicator, to a bar chart of the last n packages and to a Gaussian distribution which enables well established control of the give-away.

Optimised metal detection

Bizerba has completely reengineered the MD series of metal detectors. The detection precision was thereby increased by 10 per cent. In the future, even the smallest metal particles can be detected in foods. â€Å“Even the smallest scandals and complaints with regard to the quality of food can have serious consequences for a business and often seriously affect sales and market share for years. With the new metal detectors, this corporate risk is reduced to a minimumâ€Â says Conzelmann. Any contaminated packages are separated from the production by means of a separation system with pushers.

If the optional colour touch display is used, the metal detector automatically informs the operator at regular intervals that the metal detector has to be checked with regard to functionality and precision. All checks are documented and provide maximum transparency regarding production safety.

Hardened transport rollers

Bizerba now provides especially hardened transport rollers for all CWE types in order to counteract the following phenomenon: especially in the dusty and humid environments found in bakeries and butcherâ€â„¢s shops, the normal abrasion of the light deflection and transport rollers can abrade aluminium dust which deposits on the transport belts and blackens them. In order to avoid the formation of dirt, the new rollers are finished with an eloxal layer. It is harder than stainless steel and can therefore theoretically have an unlimited service life.

The post New features for the check weighers of the CWE series appeared first on Submit Articles.

Balingen, July 16th - Bizerba and the Sigmarinen School of Fashion are presenting something very unique: a fashion show as never experienced before anywhere. A show that clearly expresses just how multi-functional and attractive labels can be.

In 1858, Charles Worth held the very first fashion show in Paris and ultimately transformed the shows into coveted social events. He was also the first fashion designer who was considered more of an artist than craftsman, and who revolutionised the complete fashion industry with his approach to clothing production. Today, 150 years later, world markets are saturated and designers are constantly looking for new inspiration in terms of design and presentation, to call attention to themselves and their creations.

The Sigmarinen School of Fashion and Bizerba, the technology manufacturer from Balingen, Germany, came up with an idea that is unique worldwide: students would be given an opportunity to create contemporary summer fashions, incorporating the wide diversity and appeal of Bizerba labels into their designs.

Claudia Gross, Director Global Marketing and Communication at Bizerba, talks about projectâ€â„¢s background: â€Å“Bizerba was founded in 1866 and since then it has been known for producing high-quality scales for industry and retail. Of course, our corporate image and our portfolio have since then adapted to new, global economic markets. We now produce much more than just scales. We develop many different types of high-quality labels, as well as state-of-the-art system solutions based on intelligent interaction of hardware and software.â€Â In order to visually communicate this modern image and the amazing diversity of Bizerba labels, Bizerba asked the Sigmaringen School of Fashion if they would design label fashions.

â€Å“The â€Å“Wrap me upâ€Â model from Bodil Neitzelâ€Â, continues Gross, â€Å“showcases our C-Wrap label. All required content can be depicted on a single label that wraps itself around the product on up to four sides if need be. The product packaging is therefore stronger, and product content is well protected. Labelling errors are avoided, and the number of roll changes is reduced as well. With the right software, users can determine themselves where content should be positioned. And end-buyers can see key information quickly, without even having to take the package out of the shelf.

Bettina Wirschun from the Sigmarinen School of Fashion, project manager and honorary lecturer for model and collection design, highlights: â€Å“Bizerba asked us if we would design outfits and create models for a fashion show with Bizerba labels as part of the designs. The second year students and I really liked the idea, as unusual as it was. And as a first step, we had to find the right match between the complexity of the challenge and the studentsâ€â„¢ level of knowledge and experience.â€Â

The team decided on sheath dresses, which work well in business environments: slim, sleeveless, knee-length, figure-fitting dresses. â€Å“A brainstorming session with the class participants was followed by many sketches. And then much later, three representatives from Bizerba attended the studentsâ€â„¢ PowerPoint presentationsâ€Â, continued Wirschun.

Maren Frost, one of the students, incorporated a labelling world premiere into her â€Å“One for allâ€Â dress: the VIP label. VIP in this case stands for Variable Product Information. The benefits of this label for the retail grocery trade are obvious: a single label can be used for variable data on hundreds of products. The basic layout is preprinted with company-specific parameters – logo, slogan and design. The spaces for variable data such as product name, date, price and barcode, enable these to be printed by the retailers themselves.

â€Å“For us it was very important to make it clear to the public, how important a role labels play in todayâ€â„¢s economy. The do much more than simply decorate, they take on other important functions as well. A key term in todayâ€â„¢s markets is RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). An RFID label features an integrated transponder, on which data on the product and supply can be stored. Leonie Helena Ross, with her â€Å“Complete controlâ€Â model, successfully brought to life just how attractive functionality can beâ€Â, highlights Gross.

The Sigmarinen School of Fashion opened in 1974 in Sigmaringen and became a non-profit organisation in 2009, specialised in training certified fashion designers.

Balingen, July 14th - In these uncertain times, many firms have problems in setting themselves apart from the competition through their core products. Hence, customer-oriented services take on an evermore decisive meaning in gaining the competitive edge. With its 1,000 service technicians throughout the world and in the region of 20,000 permanently available replacement parts, Bizerba, the technology manufacturer from Balingen, ensures that all scales, machines and systems work reliably.

â€Å“We place great importance on providing competent consultation and active customer-orientated service regarding issues of use, operation and data security. With our six regional sales and service centres, 34 branches and 250 service locations, we have one of the most dense consultation and service networks in Germany,â€Â says Robert Keller, Director of Business Services at Bizerba. The main requirements made of the service organisation are high quality and short reaction times at reduced costs.

The 24-hour service agreement guarantees around the clock care of the systems. In the event of a faults in the system , the customer can dial a central service numberÃ,¬ - also at night - and will be connected automatically to the responsible service employee. The attending technician contacts the customer within one hour and starts to analyse the problem. He can make use of all customer-specific documents and replacement parts and eliminate a fault in just a few hours in most cases,â€Â explains Keller. This helps to minimise expensive down times and to ensure maximum productivity of the products.
