Topcon Positioning Systems will construct a brand-new production center in Geisenheim, Germany, near Frankfurt, for the business’s Topcon Electronics operation. A revolutionary event happened on April 16. The event accompanied the production turning point of the one-millionth item to come off the line at the business’s existing Geisenheim center, where in-cab display screens are produced Topcon’s farming and building and construction services portfolios.
The brand-new center represents a considerable financial investment by Topcon, signalling the business’s devotion to broadening production abilities and reinforcing its existence in Europe. Unlike the existing area, this center will be owned by Topcon, permitting increased production capabilities to triple the variety of systems produced every year. The brand-new center combines all functional structures under one roofing, broadening the footprint to roughly 8,300 square meters (90,000 square feet).
“The existing operation is among the business’s highest-rated production centers, with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001, along with an IATF vehicle accreditation. The screening laboratory has actually ended up being a requirement for us worldwide,” stated Mathias Kühn, senior vice president of worldwide operations at Topcon. “The devoted production of operator consoles for heavy equipment is a first-rate example of success based upon a strong core proficiency. The brand-new center is created to support boosted producing automation, which is essential to speeding up production and development.”
An essential element of the brand-new structure is its sustainability functions. The brand-new center is created with sustainability practices, consisting of making use of photovoltaic panels, greywater drain systems, the setup of electrical automobile charging points, and the application of nature-based services for ventilation and drain.
“Sustainability is a vital part of the architecture for the brand-new structure,” stated Simone Dolderer-Heinitz, with Ries+Ries Architekten Ingenieure GmbH, the designer on the task. “We utilize brand-new innovations in our engineering that permit us to totally do without heating fuel. The heating and cooling supply is offered by 2 hot air pumps and photovoltaics on the roofing, which are utilized to partially provide our own electrical energy. We have green roofing systems that maintain and distribute the rainwater.”
