GEALAN Stories

GEALAN has 2022 its premium system GEALAN-KONTUR®. It combines design-oriented Design language with convincing Technical Characteristics. Its development was a joint project between the system provider and two window manufacturers: Felbermayer and PaX. Robert Tänzel (45), Sales Head of Division at GEALAN, has talked to us with the two project partners. He tells of a challenging all sides Cooperation. And of other challenges he has tackled – long before he has joined GEALAN.

Cameras on, high quality: The optical control systems, GEALAN on the extrusion lines in Tanna, are a direct investment in quality. You will work with Artificial Intelligence and recognize on the profile surfaces almost every Deviation from the optimum. A droplet of water on the profile? No problem. A visible scratch or tiny bubble? Immediately used as Error reported – and that in extrusion speed, such decisions for the human eye almost impossible. Dr.-Ing. Winfried Bernhard (55), Head of GEALAN Quality Management and the man who GEALAN's quality offensive, looks at the new hardware, and nods. Nor are they a test, but how good the systems work and how closely they look, already fascinates him.

Trucks roll along highways and transport goods from A to B. A symbol of logistics. This is not a false picture, but an incomplete one. The German Logistics Association (BVL) defines logistics as the holistic planning, management, coordination, implementation and control of all internal company processes. and cross-company flows of information and goods. Sounds complex and it is. GEALAN is making its logistics more and more efficient, thus pursuing one goal: maximum delivery reliability.

Artificial intelligence will become an efficiency turbo in GEALAN's offices. Easier research and processing information, reaching your goal faster and better: The AI kick will increase the speed of many processes and bring GEALAN further forward. For artificial intelligence to be a success, however, natural intelligence is first needed: that of Patrick Jobst and Lucas Colling, for example. At GEALAN, you will ask important AI questions at key points and develop ideas for the future with AI.

Korbinian Kuusisto's software company Kineo brings artificial intelligence to the manufacturing industry – with solutions that increase two factors in particular: productivity and quality. For companies, AI solutions first mean a cultural transformation that requires openness and rethinking. With the right applications, however, it is then possible to set a new dynamic in motion. "AI can massively increase performance," says Korbinian Kuusisto. As partners, Kineo and GEALAN show how this works: Bringing AI into a manufacturing company – in a meaningful and efficiency-enhancing way.

Measured by gross domestic product per capita, Serbia is not a particularly wealthy country. And yet Serbia has great wealth. His treasure lies in a melange of unspoilt Balkan culture, post-Yugoslavian flair and impressive nature. Serbia is proud, restless and restless. After the Balkan wars of the 1990s, the Kosovo conflict is still smoldering today and flares up again and again. Serbia is an EU accession candidate with close ties to China and Russia. And Serbia is under the influence of foreign investors who are not after its rich raspberry deposits. It is about something bigger: Belgrade is planned as a hub of the Chinese infrastructure project "New Silk Road".

Storms in the mountains are no fun. Nevena Ignjatović has just made it to the hotel halfway dry after the photo shoot in the chairlift. Suddenly and threateningly, the scenery darkens. Thunder rumbles, lightning flashes and after a few moments torrents fall from the flat roof of the La Pista restaurant. "I'm here on the mountain all winter and it's super beautiful," says Nevena Ignjatović as she meets GEANOVA in the Kopaonik Mountains on this thundery summer afternoon.
