Commissioning of the automated machine park 

In the course of the expansion of the machinery of our internal CNC parts production, three new fully automatic systems were successfully put into operation.
Patrick Stülpner, head of the CNC parts production department, provides information about the advantages and background of the investment. 

What has been the scope of enlargement so far? 

In the course of the current business year, we were able to integrate two grinding and a milling machine into the current production process in addition to a new lathe. We plan to put a fifth machine into operation towards the end of the year. 

Why does MOGATEC invest in new machines? 

On the one hand, increasing demand requires an expansion of production capacities, which can be realized by innovative and powerful machines, among other things. On the other hand, the more difficult supply of spare parts as well as the increased maintenance and repair costs of the existing machinery require investments in new machines. 

What are the advantages of the new machines in daily business? 

A positive, safe and productive working environment is very important to us. All machines meet this requirement by offering improved ergonomics for the operator and optimized work processes that relieve the strain on the body. A major contribution to this is made, among other things, by the robot, which, for example, fully automatically inserts and removes the parts that are to be grounded. The combination of previously individual work processes saves time and energy in production. With the commissioning of the turning and grinding machines, production planning has become much simpler. The new, modern and faster machines simplify production planning in order to be able to cover the calculated requirements. The modern machinery is met with great interest and enthusiasm by the workers. Various training programs for our employees were necessary for the complex systems. After an introductory phase, we are pleased about the successful integration into the machine park.

MOGATEC proves to be a healthy company in front of ERZgesund-certification committee 

As a company that is particularly committed to the health of its employees, MOGATEC has been successfully certified for the "ERZgesund" award. 

The aim of the network "ERZgesund - Gesunde Unternehmen im Erzgebirge" network (in english: network for healthy companies in the Ore Mountain area) is to harmonise the development of comprehensive overall concepts in the field of occupational health management and occupational health promotion with the corporate philosophy. The Industry and Trade Association Aue" and its project partners support the regional economy and public institutions in introducing and implementing health-oriented measures. 

Within the framework of this project, a certification procedure was developed to assess the quality and effectiveness of occupational health management in companies. After successful certification, participating companies and public institutions that are committed to health within the company will be awarded the "ERZgesund" award.

Own photovoltaic system reliably supplies daily company needs and vehicles with renewable energy 

Just in time for the beginning of the hot summer days and many hours of sunshine, we put our company's own photovoltaic system into operation in July 2019. The possibility to generate energy by solar radiation and to feed it into our own power supply was already prepared with the construction of the roofed parking areas at the beginning of the year. 

Solar modules integrated into the photovoltaic system, which form the heart of the installation, can generate direct current not only from direct solar radiation, but also from diffuse light, which prevails on cloudy days. Whatever the type of radiation, the built-in semiconductor cells convert any light into a voltage thanks to their simple mode of operation, thereby generating an electric current that is fed into the company's own system and used by various end users. Any excess energy is also fed into the electricity system of the electricity suppliers. 

Thanks to the output of up to 380kW pure green electricity per hour, which the system generates exclusively from solar energy, we can make a major contribution to environmental protection and sustainability on the one hand and save energy costs on the other. Another advantage of our photovoltaic carport, in addition to the CO2-neutral electricity generated, is the weather-protected parking of various vehicles. There are also appropriate parking spaces available for electric vehicles, where you can refuel with solar electricity generated by yourself at low cost thanks to the attached charging stations. 

These charging columns are used to charge our 100% electrically powered company car, which recently expanded our fleet. In addition to guests and suppliers, our employees also have the opportunity to recharge their e-cars with sustainably produced green electricity. 

For us as a modern and progressive company, environmental protection and sustainability are always in the focus of our actions in addition to quality and efficiency. We are proud and happy to be able to pursue and implement these values with the new carport construction and the groundbreaking photovoltaic system as well as the innovative electric vehicle.

August 31st, 2019: All Mogatec employees and their spouses were invited to join the annual Mogatec Summer Party at the Drebach production site. In a relaxed atmosphere we spent enjoyable team moments distant from everyday working routines. 

The nicely decorated marquee and outside area enabled an enjoyable get-together between management board, first-time guests and employees. Followed by a buffet organized by our long-time and reliable partner menschen&erleben, which satisfied by fresh dishes, hearty food plates and sweet temptations, we introduced the entertaining evening program. 

The Mogatec Summer Party was framed artistically and musically by the children and young people of the ensemble "100 Mozart’s Children" of the Saxon Mozart Company(Sächsische Mozart-Gesellschaft e.V.). The young and talented musicians, who are supported by Mogatec GmbH in a special sponsorship, provided an overwhelming concert with classical Mozart works, film music and legendary rock and pop titles. Until late at night we enjoyed a full dance floor with music by “Events deluxe”. 

We are happy about the great participation, as well as the positive feedback and hope that all guests enjoyed nice summer moments together.

Our 26 junior and adult Mogatec runners startet in the city of Oberwiesenthal to run up and down the 1.3 km (0.8 miles) long track on the ski slopes of the Fichtelberg mountain. Together, the Mogatec team covered a distance of 274.3 km (168.8 miles) in three hours (a total of 211 laps), thereby contributing their part to the unbelievable total donation amount of 26,000 euros. 

The association named "Elternverein krebskranker Kinder e.V." - founded by parents of children with cancer - uses the donations for the medical treatment and special care of seriously ill children and their families and brings back a piece of quality of life and hope for those affected. 

Many thanks to all participants who have made a walking, jogging and running contribution to the success of the event!
