AERO-LIFT is part of the Virtual Reality project (VR-Chain) funded by the BMBF

The German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) supports measures in the field of innovative working environments in medium-sized companies with its funding. In this context, the VR-Chain project was launched, in which AERO-LIFT Vakuumtechnik GmbH is involved as an application company alongside VETTER Krantechnik GmbH. The aim of the project, which is subsidized by the BMBF, is to implement and improve collaboration and training scenarios in virtual space.

Using virtual reality, the research team will develop an interactive experience space that is systematically linked to upstream and downstream work processes and practices within a value chain. This can establish the flow of knowledge along the value chain and enable the participating companies to react flexibly and situationally to changing market, production and procurement changes.

The vacuum lifting devices manufactured at AERO-LIFT are often combined with crane technology from other manufacturers to create a complete solution for the customer. For the development of such a complete solution, the consideration of all combination and connection possibilities as well as an exact interface definition is essential.

The aim of the VR Chain project is to optimize the high level of coordination and time required between the departments involved (sales, project planning, design, purchasing, production, service) within the company as well as across companies in the direction of the supplier and customer. A seamless flow of information is the basis for success and should be enabled by the VR-Chain solution.

Through observation of work processes, qualitative interviews and workshops, user knowledge and experiences from all participating companies have already been included and work flows in the value creation system have been depicted accordingly.

In the next step, the research team will develop a technical and content-related concept on the basis of which a VR and scanning solution can be jointly developed and tested in an iterative and demand-oriented manner.

Über die AERO-LIFT Vakuumtechnik GmbH

AERO-LIFT Vakuumtechnik GmbH has already been internationally successful in the field of vacuum handling technology for 30 years. The family-owned company was founded in Geislingen-Binsdorf/Baden-Württemberg, where the company’s headquarters are still located today. With several strategic business areas, AERO-LIFT is broadly positioned: From tube lifters, vacuum lifters, area grippers for automation technology to components, crane systems and services, the customer gets everything from a single source. This broad spectrum requires great innovative strength and flexibility. A wide variety of customers from the construction and trades, automotive, chemicals, food, energy, logistics, metalworking and woodworking sectors benefit from the company’s broad expertise and Swabian inventive spirit. With the help of solutions from the vacuum specialists at AERO-LIFT, they improve their workflows, efficiency and production flow, relieve and motivate their employees and thus meet the requirements for health protection and ergonomics. The material of the transported goods is protected by the vacuum cups during lifting and moving – a great advantage compared to conventional gripping and transport systems.
