Coburg Design Days 2023

5 days all about design

Design is a strategic success factor for us. From 6 to 11 June, we will be providing insights into the design of our production processes at our main site in Rödental as part of the Coburg Design Days under the motto "Invisible Design".

From 6 to 11 June, the Coburg Design Days will once again open its doors and invite visitors to exchange ideas, experience and try things out. The Coburg Design Days serve as a place of inspiration and as a platform for networking ideas, projects, ambitions and creative minds.

This year, the Coburg Design Days are taking place at a new location: The Kulturfabrik Cortendorf is being built piece by piece on the site of the old "Porzellanfabrik Griesbach", which will offer plenty of space for culture, creativity and art in the future. The Kulturfabrik comes to life with the start of the Coburg Design Days.

Be inspired and informed by the design exhibition, get creative at workshops and enjoy the dialogue with designers and artists. A varied supporting programme rounds off the Coburg Design Days: From concerts and round-table discussions to interesting courses, there is plenty to experience. And a wide range of catering options will cater for your physical well-being.

Invisible Design

This year, we are once again supporting the Coburg Design Days and are represented with an exhibition on the subject of "Production and Industrial Design". Design is a strategic success factor for us. Graphic and product design are the result of a deeper understanding of design, in which the design of work processes, workflows and procedures in production and logistics plays a central role.

Gain an insight into our production and industrial design at our exhibition and find out which design concept our production facilities, products and industrial trucks follow and how we combine production and process design. 

 

Customer order



Forward-looking planning
The process begins with a customer order, followed by the creation of a sales plan for orientation, demand planning, processing of customer orders and prioritisation of production according to A, B and C articles.

Networked processes
Production and material procurement are networked and automated, components and materials are prioritised for procurement, especially for A/B items.
 

Intralogistics



Automated, error-free storage process 
Barcode-supported "marrying" of articles and goods containers enables efficient content control and flexible material flow through round-the-clock automation.

Automated high-bay warehouse for error-free processes
Automated warehouses offer efficient, fast and reliable storage and retrieval with improved goods management, short delivery times and low space and energy consumption.

Automated retrieval and storage process
Removal of individual parts and assemblies from the high-bay warehouse via comprehensive conveyor lines as well as automatic transfer and autonomous transport of goods containers using driverless transport systems
 

Production



Partially automated production 
Hybrid assembly systems enable flexible production with a small footprint, automated material flow and 100% quality assurance, while the degree of automation can be increased if required.

Automated production
Digitalisation and networking as part of Industry 4.0 automate numerous processes and enable autonomous production.
 

Shipping



Shipping handling process
Automated release of delivery notes, demand-orientated requests, retrieval and controlled goods collection improve the efficiency of the logistics process.

Energy distribution in the Kulturfabrik Cortendorf

The Kulturfabrik Cortendorf will offer plenty of space for art and culture in the Upper Franconia region in the future. During the extension of the old porcelain factory, the energy distribution of the building complex is also being redesigned and modernised. We are equipping the new switch cabinets with our products in order to supply the cultural and artistic life in the Kulturfabrik Cortendorf with energy in the future. 

Gain an insight into the energy distribution in the villa of the Kulturfabrik Cortendorf by means of a switch cabinet equipped with a glass panel and experience Wöhner products in direct use.
