Appliance Maker Implements Abas Business Software

Haeussler, a manufacturer of wood-burning ovens, electric stone ovens, pizza ovens, dough-kneading machines, pasta machines and grain mills, has improved productivity with Abas Business Software. Previously, the company did not have a structured IT environment and many isolated solutions interfered with the flow of information. In 2006, Haeussler implemented Abas Business Software and increased liquidity, transparency and productivity.

All modification done within the software remain intact after a release upgrade. 'Our production is very complex, with extended workbench, procurements abroad, in-house production and purchased parts, as well as job lot and made-to-order production,' said Roland Mayer, technical director at Haeussler. In the service department, Abas ERP manages the spare-parts lists of the devices. Prices, conditions, costing schemata and customer- and vendor-related service information is available with the click of a button.

Haeussler is operating a separate warehouse in the distribution area. Using the connection of several cash registers, sales are posted in real time in this warehouse by the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system and the reorder point for refilling the goods in the baking village is managed. The automatic sending of goods is also initiated. The e-business component contained in the ERP software is also being used.

Mayer added: 'With our integrated system - everything is connected to everything and the tools available in the software, such as info systems or selection bars - we are able to quickly and easily create all types of enumerations, costing schemata, statistics and business figures. 'Transparency and the ability to provide information have also increased. 'One click and the user knows the status of a sales order. 'Since we have been using the scheduling function of our ERP system, Excel lists in procurement are a thing of the past and we almost have no safety stock. 'Batch sizes and purchase-order quantities can now be purchased optimally.

'Warehouse quantities and capital tie-up could be decreased by 35 per cent, which, in turn, increased liquidity. 'All products and their current availability can be viewed 24/7 in the Abas eB webshop. 'Individual terms and conditions are recorded for all registered customers. 'All the necessary data are available in the ERP system and are displayed in the webshop in real time,' he said.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
