SAR pursues a holistic service approach in the interests of the customer.
The aim is for software systems to reliably manage the smooth running of production – from the receipt of goods to the delivery of the finished product.
Modern production control systems plan, control and monitor production in real time.
Ideally, information is collected continuously at all stages of production.
This allows an efficient environment to be created for the customer between the planning and production levels.
“Artificial intelligence is increasingly coming into focus here,” says Schneider-Schnappauf.
With its innovative automation and intelligent information technology and its interdisciplinary engineering expertise, SAR meets the special requirements of almost all sectors of the economy.

Market maturity of new, future-oriented technologies

  KNEXT is a subsidiary of SAR that supports highly innovative topics in robotics.
With KNEXT products, SAR offers individual automation solutions for every application.
Mobile service robots, for example, for reception, trade fairs, for escorting in department stores or for support as waiters in restaurants.
The cleaning robots are particularly useful in premises with large floor areas.
Whether in department stores, supermarkets or public buildings such as schools and gyms.
Managing Director Harald Rohrmoser emphasizes the importance of working with specialists from other fields: “We have the know-how in measurement and control technology, but we are not experts when it comes to cleaning very different floors properly. Here we work together with cleaning experts and in many cases have been able to reduce the consumption of cleaning agents many times over, as in practice far too much cleaning agent is often used”.
The fully automatic KNEXT coffee bars are a particular highlight.
A robot prepares coffee specialties fully automatically on an area of eight square meters and also serves customers with baked goods.
This can be admired in practice at BMW Welt in Munich, for example.
In view of the prevailing shortage of skilled workers, such automated robot systems are of great interest to companies.
However, Harald Rohrmoser emphasizes: “Such systems should not be seen as a complete replacement or even a one-to-one replacement of workers, but rather as a supplement to the workforce and as a way of making work easier”.
“It is important that these future-oriented technologies are considered from the outset when planning new buildings and modernizations,” emphasizes District Administrator Manuel Westphal.
“One or two robots will certainly also be used in our district in the future, providing real added value,” District Administrator Westphal is convinced.

Awakening enthusiasm for robotics in schools

  SAR takes its robots to various schools and vocational training centers in the region.
“We want to get pupils interested in the highly innovative topics of the future relating to automation and programming,” says Commercial Director Christine Schönweiß.
Training opportunities in the industrial, technical and commercial fields are available at the company, as are working student positions as part of a Bachelor’s degree course. “At the request of trainees and students, it is also possible to spend time abroad at SAR locations around the world. This is an interesting aspect for many young people,” emphasizes Schönweiß from experience.
