“The Schüco Welcome Forum is the heart of Schüco, and this heart beats for our guests,” explains Andreas Engelhardt, Managing Partner of Schüco. The visitor centre is the first port of call on the Schüco Campus and a central hub for fabricators, clients, architects, investors and Schüco employees. A central foyer connects the five different areas – the Product Showroom, the Fabrication Showroom, the café, the Newsroom, and the meeting and workshop rooms – and gives visitors a panoramic view of the Schüco systems on display and installed on the campus.
The Product Showroom allows visitors to get up close and hands on with all of the products, digital solutions and services for residential and commercial construction across approximately 800 m². The 8-metre-tall hall houses a total of 28 large exhibits and a further 45 display units covering the areas of Health, Security and Smart. What Schüco understands by ‘Healthy Building’ can be seen in the displays for the sound reduction window, the antimicrobial surface protection, green façades, entrance, patio and sliding doors without thresholds, sun shading, screening and much more. High security, fire-resistant and burglar-resistant systems can be found in the Security area.
The way that intelligent solutions and products can make life easier and safer, and how easy they are to use, is demonstrated by the smart product range from Schüco. From intelligent building control and convenient window and sliding door automation right through to healthy ventilation systems, Schüco presents its intelligent, networked products and systems for smart living here. Not to mention the comprehensive digital solutions on display in the Product Showroom that have made the Bielefeld-based company a pioneer in the industry since the 1970s. These exhibits are complemented by the Service area. Whether it's the after sales service, partner consulting or the training and specification service, the showroom demonstrates just what excellent service means at Schüco.
30 machines, big and small, can be seen in action across 2000 m² in the glazed Fabrication Showroom. The metal fabrication machines are installed in the following categories: prefabrication, sawing, CNC processing, milling – drilling – punching, assembly and shop floor equipment. The Schüco team set up the production line to replicate the size of a typical metal fabrication operation. This means that guests will be able to experience in action the right machinery for them and their processes and see what a workshop tailored to their needs could look like. The Fabrication Showroom therefore showcases the AS 100 continuous feed machining centre, which alone requires an area of around 160 m². The new RX LOAD 500 fabrication robot consisting of a 5-axis CNC machine and robot technology from KUKA – the first Schüco solution in the field of robotics – can also be experienced up close. On touchscreens, visitors can display the locations of the machines in the fabrication hall in 3D and call up technical details, benefits for fabricators, videos and images of the machines.
