Zwerrenz Automation Technology GmbH wishes all school beginners in Thuringia a fantastic start in this exciting new chapter of life. May your school time be full of curiosity, joy, and wonderful experiences! 🌟 For us, this August also holds a premiere: We welcome our new trainee, who has started her #apprenticeship as a Technical Product Designer with us. 👏   We are especially proud that this is the first time in our company’s history that we are training in this profession. An exciting step for our trainee and for us as a company. We are starting this new chapter together with great anticipation and are excited, ambitious, and motivated to make this journey a success. 🚀   So a warm welcome to the team and best of luck with the start of your apprenticeship. We look forward to supp…

In this video, our KUKA industrial robot is deliberately moving at a slow speed through the automation plant. The reason: At Zwerrenz Automatisierungstechnik GmbH, during this phase, we test and validate every single movement sequence, every position, and every interface within the overall system. Before a plant operates at full capacity, it must be ensured that all processes are perfectly coordinated.   ✅ Verify movement sequences and reach ✅ Ensure process safety ✅ Minimize collision risks ✅ Ensure quality and reliability   This testing phase lays the foundation for a later stable and efficient production operation. In Automation, care during commissioning means safety and productivity in later operation.   🥚 If you want your automation in #commissioning to be treated lik…

For us, the “Green Heart of Germany” is far more than just a symbol of Thuringia. It stands for the people who roll up their sleeves and get to work here. For the ideas that take shape here. And for the innovations that find their way from here into a wide variety of industries. Just like in today’s photos: The Green Heart meets the orange of a KUKA robot. Home meets high-tech. Tradition meets the future. In the heart of the Thuringian Forest, we develop and implement automation solutions that are used far beyond the borders of our region. In doing so, we remain firmly connected to what defines us: Thuringian down-to-earthness, an engineering spirit, and the conviction that progress arises where people create with passion. We received the “Green Heart” this week during a visit by Thur…

☝ This robotic cell won’t be manufacturing mass-produced items, and that’s exactly why it’s interesting. ☝ 🤖 What looks like a classic robotic application in this picture will soon be automating a complex process in medical technology. Once again, we’re creating an automated solution for a previously labor-intensive, time-consuming manual process. That’s exactly what this industrial robot in front of the rotary indexing table is for—a system that’s currently in the mechanical assembly phase. What’s exciting here is that while automation has been the norm in the automotive industry for decades, its potential in many other sectors is still far from being fully realized. ❓ After all, what about processes that don’t reach astronomical production volumes? ❓ What about applications that…

  👉 “If I turn that little screw up here just a tiny bit more, the assembly will run much more smoothly.”   Sounds harmless. But it’s a risk. Because that’s not a process. It’s empirical knowledge without any safeguards.   The reality: - Workflows depend on individuals - Errors occur when people are absent - Training new employees becomes a gamble   👉 In short: You’re under-automated.   This is exactly where your leverage lies: - Make implicit knowledge explicit - Standardize procedures - Make processes independent of individuals   💡 And importantly: It’s not about replacing Ingo. It’s about enabling Horst to work just as efficiently. Often, it’s not about million-dollar projects— but rather small devices, configurable individual workstations,  or clearly defi…
