Case study

2D machine control from Leica Geosystems is the right solution for Strøjer Tegl’s because of the need for storage of clay both indoor and outdoor
在电晕流行期间,Niels Opstrup被迫留在丹麦。尼尔斯(Niels)拥有工程师的背景,通常在他在巴西圣保罗(Sao Paulo)的冒险公司工作,目前在150岁的家族拥有的砖工厂(StrøjerTegl)工作。尼尔斯(Niels)已同意处理公司的工作流程和生产的优化和文档,但他不怕跳上在将粘土分发存储之前的推土机上,然后将其用于砖的生产。
As part of a substantial investment in the production facilities and the work processes, Strøjer Tegl is now using a Caterpillar dozer equipped with a 2D machine control solution from Leica Geosystems。
2D can be used both indoor and outdoor
每天,大约25辆卡车到达工厂,从当地的粘土坑带来粘土。用于红砖的红色粘土可以在外面存放,但是用于黄砖的蓝色粘土必须存放在屋顶下。粘土在砖生产中使用之前要储存两个星期。与需要清晰的卫星视图的3D机控制解决方案相比,2D机器控制与旋转激光和激光接收器一起使用,可以在机器上的桅杆上使用,同时可以使用室内和室外。
The 2D solution is simple to use and shows only two dimensions: Height and slope, and this is exactly what is needed for this particular use case, where the clay is placed in a pile with a slope of three percent. Indoor, where the blue clay is placed, has less space and the clay is placed in a pile with a 12 percent slope.
- 我们收到的粘土具有非常混杂的成分。您可以将其大致分为脂肪和瘦粘土,我们需要将其完全混合以获得我们的砖块的正确质量。我们将粘土散布在10厘米的水平层中。当我们需要生产时,我们会垂直挖掘以接收正确的混合物。尼尔斯解释说,这样,在我们执行生产中的最终混合物之前,粘土会被预混合。

- 尼尔斯解释说,当我们创建新层时,很容易设置系统。
- 我首先放置用于控制机器的激光器。然后,我输入高度和坡度的值。该解决方案存储了最新的高度,我只添加10厘米。尼尔斯说,在机舱内,这很容易:尼尔斯说,您可以捕获激光,将推土机设置在自动模式下,然后开始驾驶。
Kasper Damsø was initially hired as a consultant to facilitate a smooth generational change but has since 2017, worked as CEO for Strøjer Tegl. Kasper and Niels share a broad and interesting background from the Sirius Dog Sled Patrol in Greenland. Kasper has worked 15 years as a captain, educational leader in the Minister of Defense, and holds an MBA in psychology. Kasper has even worked as a bodyguard for Britney Spears!
- 我们始终提供高质量的砖块,但是由于机器控制,我们现在拥有有关粘土不同层的位置的宝贵数据,这使我们能够减少质量控制中的废物。
Strøjer Tegl is today a very impressive company built with its bricks and with a large collection of vintage cars. Strøjer Tegl produces approximately 60 tonnes of bricks every year and is a modern and successful company as one of the last brick factories left in Denmark.
