isoplus Fernwärmetechnik GmbH, our largest production site in the Group, received the Future Prize 2024 from the Erfurt Chamber of Crafts and the Erfurt Chamber of Industry and Commerce in September 2024. This award recognises the pioneering development of a welding robot that automates complex work steps and significantly increases efficiency and quality in our production in Sondershausen.
Our aim was to address the shortage of skilled labour and at the same time improve working conditions for our employees. In close cooperation with a special machine manufacturer, the Sondershausen plant has developed a system with Axel Kirstein that is unique in Europe and enables us to carry out demanding welding tasks with the utmost precision.
An important step towards the future
With this innovation, we are ensuring that we continue to expand our leading role in district heating technology and at the same time develop sustainable solutions for the challenges facing the industry. The welding robot relieves our employees of physically demanding tasks and enables us to further improve the quality of our pre-insulated pipe systems.
Winning the Future Prize 2024 is confirmation for us that we are on the right track with our innovative approach. We will continue to work on developing new technologies in the future to make our contribution to the energy transition and a sustainable future.
