9. Weidmuller (Germany)

Weidmüller

Weidmüller is the leading provider of solutions for electrical connectivity, transmission and conditioning of power, signals and data in industrial environments. The company develops, produces and sells products in the field of electrical connectivity, functional and communication electronics. For OEM suppliers the company sets international standards in engineering, procurement, manufacturing and distribution of customized solutions.

The Weidmüller Group has a strong international focus with its own manufacturing plants, sales companies and agencies in over 70 countries. The highest demands on quality and service make Weidmüller a competent and flexible partner for its customers throughout the entire world. In its fiscal year 2007, Weidmüller reached sales of 500 million euros for the first time. The company currently employs 3,500 people worldwide.

Starting position and target objective

The target at Weidmüller is to merge all participants of the value chain with a unified standard. This concerns the areas of product development, data and product management and wholesale support. Thus all those processes, concerning product data administration, can be optimized. A very high part of the turnover comes from the electrical wholesale therefore the fast and flexible availability of electronic catalogues is an additional target. All products of these catalogues, based on BMEcat are also ECLASS-classified.

Functionality and application

The challenge: The internal data structure very often does not go with the one of a standard. For example is the company-internal characteristic “colour” not necessarily identical with the characteristic “colour”, which requires classification as ECLASS. For this purpose, the Weidmüller product data management, together with the product divisions has revised and classified all product data within 4 months.

Additional positive effects:

  • Increase of the data quality
  • Optimization of international processes
  • Optimization of the purchasing controlling

Products classified successfully

Product data of more than 18.000 articles can now be promptly exchanged with external partners in the classifications ECLASS 4.1, ECLASS 5.0 and ECLASS 5.1. The languages German and English are supported, further languages are in preparation. A project for the company-wide application of ECLASS as standard for the description of products is realized at present.

LEUTRON in Leinfelden-Echterdingen near Stuttgart is a medium-sized company for the development and manufacture of components and devices for internal lightning and surge protection with more than 60 years of experience.

1999

In October 1999, CERBERUS, Switzerland decided to end the production of gas arresters. Up to this point, CERBERUS, with its German subsidiary ALARMCOM-LEUTRON (trademarks CERBERUS and LEUTRON), was the global technology market leader for gas arresters.

The production of such components no longer fit into Siemens’ business strategy, which the entire CERBERUS Group had taken over within Siemens Building Technology in 1997.

2000

In autumn 2000, Jörg Jelen took over the surge protection devices department from the Siemens / CERBERUS group as part of a management buy-out. Previously, Jelen was manager of the development and marketing department at ALARMCOM-LEUTRON, so that the entire know-how flowed into LEUTRON GmbH with him. But Jelen did not just bring the know-how into the company; Machines, testing equipment, all patents and the quality assurance system etc. were transferred to the new company.

The protected LEUTRON® brand ensures that the high-quality level of CERBERUS products is maintained.

Today LEUTRON continues its role as an important strategic partner of Siemens in the field of lightning protection and surge protection. LEUTRON’s leading position is based on a highly developed metal-ceramic technology of hermetically sealed and inert gas-filled isolating spark gaps and gas discharge arresters.

LEUTRON products have more than 60 years of experience. Safe, durable products and high reliability at reasonable prices, as well as fast and flexible delivery times in addition to technical support, are our goals in order to secure the demands of our customers.

Customer satisfaction is one of the top principles of Leutron GmbH. Market-driven innovations, high-quality products, and a comprehensive range of advice stand for our claim. Our customer sets the bar for this.

We offer our customers the highest level of safety, quality, and durability, but we guarantee this through sophisticated manufacturing processes such as high-temperature soldering and vacuum technology, innovative product developments, many years of experience, and the resulting know-how.

We ensure that activities relevant to quality and product safety are consistently planned, controlled and monitored in order to meet our quality standards. For us, quality is not a requirement that only exists on paper, but a vision that prevails in all areas of the company. Through a continuous quality improvement process, we want to permanently increase the quality of our products and services at all levels.

All new developments are tested intensively on our own test systems, but also at renowned external test institutes, and their technical data are precisely determined. We document this information for our customers and ensure that each product they choose meets their requirements 100%.
