Waste separation is one of the biggest challenges in recycling plants. Due to the variety and mixture of different materials, it is often difficult to sort and process the waste efficiently. Automation solutions from Leadec help.

Integrated Facility Management (IFM) is more than a trend. It is the next evolutionary step to ensure that facility management in companies is optimized, adding real value. In this interview, Tim de Wit, Global Key Account Director Manufacturing Industries at Leadec, explains why.

Ulrich Haas is the managing director of Leadec’s newest subsidiary in France. In this interview, he talks about the opportunities and challenges of the market and where the company’s focus lies.

There are several thousand plants and machines in a factory. If they are all to be reliably maintained, a proper inventory list is a must. Now, asset recording is made easier thanks to the new “LARA” ( Leadec Asset Recording & Administration) app.

Do you know our interview series “Factory Talks”? Leadec experts around the world talk about topics that are affecting factories and production (plants).

The documentation of all data plays a central role in the food sector. This applies to production as well as to the support services. Find out here how the online platform Leadec.os provides support. 

Online retail is booming and with it parcel shipping. Worldwide, this has led to many challenges for the (express) parcel industry – delivering more with less. What solutions are there and where is development heading in the future? Find out in episode 4 of our Factory Talks.

Gordana Djurdjevic is Corporate Environmental Health and Safety Manager at Leadec for the USA and Canada. In this interview, she reveals her philosophy and talks about the role played by occupational safety in the modern production environment. 

How are productivity and facility management related in food production? Very simple: Without a proper strategy for the services on the shopfloor, production will come to a standstill. But there is a solution.

From autonomous transport systems to digital weld seam testing - Leadec's range of products and services for the smart factory can now be experienced in a simulated environment. This is now available with a tour on the online platform "Digital Factory Experience".

Logistics is a broad field and from the gate onwards, inside the factory, it becomes really exciting. How digitized and automated is the tracking of goods? How do you rule out errors and how can you ensure that production doesn’t come to a standstill but continues through?

The advantages of inventory outsourcing are obvious: warehouses full of spare parts at each individual company mean high costs. Leadec offers its customers flexible models in which they only pay for the parts they really need and only when they really need them.

‘Crossing the yellow line’ is the title of our new whitepaper which highlights the benefits of Integrated Facility Management (IFM) for the food & beverage industry. Streamlining all support services through a single efficient model increases asset uptime and reduces maintenance costs.

Unwanted machine downtime is a nightmare in the food industry. Our latest white paper explains how integrated facility management can help. 

Our sustainability program centers around four strategic commitments: managing our environmental impact, acting responsibly toward our employees and society, maintaining integrity as well as adding longterm customer value. Read more in our Sustainability Report. 

State-of-the-art factories are expected to run more efficiently and place new demands on their operators. From networked production processes and a high degree of automation to close cooperation with customers and suppliers. What does this mean for the field of production planning?

Technical services such as cleaning, maintenance, and repair of facilities are increasingly offering potential for improving the economy of production. The global industrial service provider Leadec operates its own IoT infrastructure to improve the efficiency of its existing offerings for plant operators – or to make completely new ones possible.

In 1962 the foundation stone for today’s company was laid – with the founding of the boiler cleaning company Reichenberger & Co. in Munich. For 60 years, our teams make sure that production runs smoothly. We never stand still. We improve, think ahead and always find a solution.

In 2022, Leadec will celebrate its 60th anniversary. In an interview with Markus Glaser-Gallion, CEO of Leadec, we talk about the past years and how he sees the future of the service specialist for the factory. 

Equipped for the factory of the future? To do this, the services must also be digitalized. 

Many automakers and automotive suppliers are struggling with the transition to electromobility. This is not the case with the industrial service provider Leadec.Read the full article which was originally published in "Automobilwoche"

Sustainability in the food and beverage industry has long since ceased to be a trend. Instead, it is a strong driver of quality and innovation, and thus also an important factor for greater added value and competitiveness. But where does sustainability start? With the intelligent maintenance of machines and systems, for example.

The complexity of factories worldwide is constantly increasing: data overflow, no obvious synergies, countless contact persons – it’s incredibly hard to keep track of everything. The solution: one reliable and experienced partner along the entire life cycle of a factory.

Google spits out around 250 million search results when users enter the word “transformation.” Not all of them, but a large proportion, relate to the digital transformation of companies. How did Leadec shape this transformation process? What were the triggers, challenges and success factors?
