With a clear strategy: How Leadec leverages on Artificial Intelligence

Companies within the semiconductor industry place particularly high demands on logistics. In this interview, Gert Brandl, who works in account management for the semiconductor sector at Leadec and is the project manager in charge, explains why the company developed its own track and trace software for a customer and what makes it so special.

Protective clothing, a sterile environment, and air locks: cleanrooms are a very special working environment. In this interview, Steve Koch, who works at Leadec’s Dresden site, talks about what it’s like to work under extremely strict conditions and what he appreciates about it. 

Leadec.os has been standardizing and digitizing Leadec’s service processes across systems for 5 years. Michael Schenk, Global Head of Business Applications, looks back and talks about milestones and the impact of the platform on the whole company. 

As the world’s leading service specialist for the entire life cycle of a factory, Leadec prioritizes ESG principles for a sustainable future. Our target is to lead our industry by example. The sustainability report 2023 was prepared according to the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)/ European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). 

In the world of microelectronics, where tiny components form the basis of sustainable innovations, precision is everything. Cleanrooms play an indispensable role in this demanding environment. To ensure that everything remains sterile, Leadec teams take care of the cleaning.

E-commerce and online retail are booming. More than 160 billion parcels are sent worldwide every year. In this interview, Thomas Leitner, Vice President Global Business Development, explains the role Leadec plays in this and the opportunities this industry offers.

How are Leadec.os, digitalization, new business models and Leadec's future readiness related? The video on our digital capabilities is all about that! Find out first-hand from colleagues how Leadec is transforming the factory of today and tomorrow with digitally driven service solutions. 

Tracking waste and material flows in production facilities is crucial for improving recycling rates. This saves money and increases environmental sustainability. Leadec has gained experience in a comprehensive pilot project at an automotive manufacturer and is now implementing it in regular operation.

Leadec employees ensure that each vehicle arrives at its destination on the factory premises after production as part of "Vehicle Processing". They are supported in this by Leadec's own software Leadec.os. In this interview, Gareth Crawford explains the application and why this development project was a very special one for him. 

This is where the heart of logistics beats faster: At the REWE distribution center in Neu-Isenburg, the retail giant can always keep track of building services maintenance thanks to Leadec.os.

Have you ever wondered how asset mapping can be made completely digital? For example, with Leadec's self-developed app LARA. In the video, our employees demonstrate how it works. 

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, Dr. Christoph Jaschinski, responsible for Global Business Development at Leadec, explains why.

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.

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.
