Operating equipment and systems safety through competent DGUV inspections

The acronym DGUV stands for the German Social Accident Insurance agency, an organisation of 27 accident insurance funds and nine commercial employers liability insurance associations. DGUV Regulation 3 regulates the testing of electrical equipment and systems used in industry.

On request, we can create a basic inventory of all devices to be tested or check the existing data. Our files include all devices. This way, customers prompt notice from us when the next test cycle is due.

The devices  are not only tested, but can be repaired immediately if necessary and according to budget. All documentation, including the legally required protocols, are available at all times - in hard copy format and, depending on the customer requirements, on server / data carrier etc.

This means our customers always work with approved tools and machines and, if necessary, are legally protected in the event of accident, given that all required tests are carried out and documented.

Interruption-free processes and production sequences through continuous maintenance

Regular maintenance and servicing is mandatory for ensuring trouble-free processes and production sequences. It is likewise fundamental for maintaining high production equipment availability, minimising downtime and saving costs.

To sustainably reduce downtime and prevent unscheduled maintenance, we offer preventive maintenance services at the highest level, through our team. We check and document the status of all machines and systems, evaluate them and use this information to identify when maintenance and servicing work needs to be scheduled at the earliest possible stage. This gives customers the advantage of being able to include maintenance and servicing work promptly in their production scheduling.

Of course, the team also takes care of the physical execution of all maintenance and servicing work. From inventory, to determination and calculation of individually coordinated maintenance intervals, to maintenance or repair work.

Industrial assemblies from single machines to production lines

With our specialised staff, we carry out mechanical and electrical industrial assemblies as complete service packages according to customer schedules and design specifications.

We see ourselves as a general contractor, organising all the necessary assembly equipment (including crane, forklift, lifting scaffolding, tools), to ensure professional and timely execution. This also includes utility installations like air and water.

Customers are accompanied by a single contact all the way up to commissioning and, if required, we can provide support through ongoing production assistance. Among others, our reference projects include installations for the automotive and supply-chain industry, materials handling, machine tool and packaging industry. We also offer experienced support for decommissioning services, including the professional disposal of all materials.

System assembly and machine conversion services

As an important ancillary service in the area of system assembly and machine conversion, we can measure the systems where they are to be installed, marking out the machine axes, contours and adjustable feet, inserting fixators and/or base plates as a fixed and finished service.

Our services at a glance

• System measurement based on dimensioned layouts provided by the manufacturer
• Plotting of machine axes, contours and levelling feet, using in-house laser measurement technology
• Assigning subcontractors for drilling work
• Installation and alignment of fixators and/or base plates
• Assignment of subcontractors for grouting work

HÖRMANN Intralogistics has years of experience and trained personnel for system measurement. We have been providing this type of service to machine manufacturers and equipment suppliers to the automotive industry for many years.

Machine relocation

The relocation of machinery and equipment presents many significant challenges to companies. From planning to logistics and the actual implementation, the necessary human resources and technical equipment are often lacking, meaning that even an in-house machine relocation can quickly become a difficult task to solve. This is where you need a strong partner.

Whether it’s machine relocation in the course of production changeovers, the relocation of complete manufacturing systems and production lines or the relocation of entire systems, we have been offering our customers all services from a single source provider for over 40 years.

Up to re-commissioning at the new location, we offer customers all services in the areas of planning, decommissioning and recommissiong, including loading and transport. This avoids interface losses and guarantees a smooth operations, monitored by our engineers throughout the entire process.

Machine relocation (in-house)

Modularity in the design of machines and systems has increased significantly in recent years. Modern production systems must have a high degree of flexibility in order to respond dynamically to new conditions, such as new manufacturing specifications. This often results in the need to realign the machinery. Machining centres, conveyor technology and packaging systems can be rearranged on the factory floor.

What sounds simple at first glance in reality requires professional planning, just as with an off-site relocation. In addition to the electrical and mechanical dismantling of the machines, the precise preparation of the new positions on the factory floor is crucial for a smooth start-up.

Machine relocation abroad

Above and beyond technical know-how, the relocation of machinery and production facilities abroad demands a high level of organisational services to ensure a smooth operation. Compliance with customs requirements and other international freight transport regulations to name but two.

As an internationally oriented company with more than 40 years of experience in the large-scale industrial sector, we offer customers machine relocations both at home and abroad.

This applies to all services related to your machinery, such as machine assemblies, machine conversions, machine service and much more. Over the years we have successfully provided these services in many different countries (Italy, France, Spain, Scandinavia, Russia, India and China). You too can take advantage of our extensive know-how.
