Since 2021, customers have had the opportunity to determine the right machine for their component-specific cleaning tasks at the Mafac Customer Center (MCC) on site in Alpirsbach. With the new Mafac Customer Center, the company has been able to expand its capacities for marketing and sales, service, and training. At the same time, the MCC is a future-oriented example ofCO2-reduced operation of building, supply and production technology.
An important component of the new building is the elaborately designed technical center with adjoining training area, where test cleanings, customer consultations and seminars take place. The pilot plant was designed as a learning and model factory for the production of the future. The aim is to demonstrate the machines and technologies in a live process and to enable our employees and customers to experience the energy-saving potential of each individual technology module. For this purpose, the machines were networked hydraulically, electrically and in terms of information technology with each other and with the building. More than 500 measuring points provide the necessary data, which are evaluated centrally and made available to an energy control center in real time. On the basis of these measured variables, it is possible to see immediately on the monitoring monitor what energetic influence the individual modules have on the cleaning process. This in turn is a valuable decision-making aid for customers.
Likewise, for both customers and employees, the pilot plant serves as a platform for determining and clarifying how industrial component cleaning forCO2-reduced production can be conceived, designed and, accordingly, strategies planned in production chains.
