PRECAST CONCRETE ELEMENTS180 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 4 | 2025 www.cpi-worldwide.comLammers Beton has emerged as an innovator in the field of precast concrete production by embracing machine automation and software solutions. As a company founded in 1987, Lammers Beton has grown to include three production locations in Weert / Netherlands, employing over 235 professionals. It is specialized in complex and architecturally demanding concrete elements such as facades, balconies, galleries and structural elements. Lammers Beton primarily serves contractors who rely on their expertise for high-quality precast concrete products.Innovative reinforcement technologyLammers Beton's adoption of automation is exemplified by their acquisition and integration of a Progress Group M-System PowerMesh welding plant with bending system. The dream to own such a high-performance machinery came to fruition, leading to substantial improvements in production capability. This mesh welding plant has significantly streamlined operations by improving the production timeline and reducing storage needs.Investment in software solutionsA pivotal moment for Lammers Beton was the integration of the profit software from Progress Group. The software has primarily been utilized for the integrated rebar shop and includes capabilities like production monitoring and workload profiling, significantly enhancing the planning and production process. Initially underestimated, the software quickly proved invaluable in generating accurate mesh data and improving production efficiency. Hein Moors, 3D Process Engineer at Lammers Beton, reflects on the initial skepticism and subsequent realization, saying, \we wouldn't use it much. The software's capability became evident as we started using it extensively to streamline our processes.\Lammers Beton revolutionizes its precast concrete productionProgress Group, 39042 Brixen, ItalyThe M-System PowerMesh welding plant is producing a high output of customized mesh with flexible spacing and bendings, increasing both speed and volume capacity.Machine utilization is analyzed in real time via the profit system to schedule processed data optimally and send automatically to machines.
