Bizerba presents the program WinCIS-counting on the CeMAT 2008 Balingen/Hanover, Germany, may 27, 2008 – production, storage and packaging logistics – driven by globalisation, companies are facing new and always dynamic challenges. The CeMAT in Hannover is considered global trend barometer: on the world’s largest Intralogistikmesse present new concepts and technologies around the conveyor, storage, picking and sorting over 1,000 exhibitors from 27-31 May 2008. As always it is the logistic flows of material and goods, taking place within a site, to optimize and reduce the time required for the processing of an order. Especially single and mass-produced parts put high demands on warehouse logistics. The composition for the production, as well as the preparation for shipment: by hand, small parts are just time consuming to pick.

For the fast and secure counting of such parts in large quantities, the technology producer Bizerba from Balingen has therefore the program WinCIS counting developed. The reference weight of the product is stored in the program. Is now about an unspecified amount of screw placed on the scale, so re is possible on the basis of appropriate weight on the exact number of pieces. This fast and secure counting is possible\”said Stephan Vogler, global key industries at Bizerba. Jake Burkons may not feel the same. At CeMAT, Bizerba shows the possibility of order-related counting (Hall 12, booth G 14) in addition to the pure count. While each product of ordering, about 100 screws and 100 nuts are a job, summarizes and completed one after the other.

The software’s interface is intuitive and guides the user step by step through the operating steps. So the employees can be read comfortably on a graphical display, when the required quantity is reached. For more security, the access to the master data is protected, so that during operation no careless mistakes can creep. A variety of statistical evaluations supplements and optimises the program.

The space powers, notably the United States, boast with a new objective of the space: A space of infinitely many stars, planets and black holes. During the cold war, the space was a very popular area, it was highly regarded and tried always to surpass themselves. After the moon landing will be discussed after next, spectacular performances in the humanity: the Mars landing. When the American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the Moon in 1969, he made history. Armstrong has been a true pioneer”in human history. At that time, an arms race of the two powers United States and Soviet Union took place. Today it is a shadow of the past few days. Still the next planet in the sights: the Mars.

The red planet is the Earth, so us, is the closest. A landing of robots is already done. So also a manned landing on Mars could be feasible. “After the year 2012 curiosity” (german curiosity”), a sophisticated robot on Mars landed, he since then trying to find traces of human life on the planet. Therefore, a lot of tools available are him..

Curiosity”is a great success of the NASA, because previously landings on Mars, failed by the ESA probe, and no one heard more of them depending on a signal. With the time, space in the Western world increasingly important but lost because the previously leading country United States was deterred by enormous problems (E.g., depression). Only a statement by US President Barack Obama (a Manned Mars landing I will experience yet”) provides for enthusiasm. But a trip to Mars is difficult, one year there, astronauts would need roughly with the shuttle though simulations are often rehearsed. By China’s entry into the space exploration (were”), it may be interesting.
