Courage for tomorrow

Courage for tomorrow

Future fears of environmental catastrophes and systemic crises cannot be combated with generalized restrictions or mental shame scenarios. The causes of the problems must be eliminated – e.g. by reducing the need for transportation – instead of fighting the symptoms.

Innovative technologies can make an important contribution to shaping a future worth living with courage and confidence.

What we do

Setting the course for tomorrow –

MorgenWerk was founded in May 2020 by an experienced entrepreneur. With an interdisciplinary team MorgenWerk develops the entire equipment for flexible production facilities for the local complete production of a wide range of product groups.

The technological core is formed by swarms of autonomous shuttles that link working stations with each other as required.

Morgenwerk Strategy

Our Strategy

Integration of High Tech into Low Cost Solutions

The rapid development of AI has triggered a hype in the development of humanoid robots. This makes sense for many applications, but it alone will not revolutionise the production landscape. This requires developments across a broader spectrum and also more cost-effective structures.

MorgenWerk combines high-tech software with innovative low-cost developments in the hardware sector. Through deep development work and the use of cost-effective mass-produced components, powerful low-cost facilities with low hourly rates are created. Thanks to consistent modular development and coordination of all facility modules and software programmes with integrated interfaces, highly scalable, flexibly adaptable production facilities are created.

Together with the disruptive MorgenWerk approach, a completely new manufacturing concept for the implementation of Industry 4.0/IIoT is generated.

the disruptive approach

„Permanent mobility of all inventory in production and warehousing on autonomous low-cost shuttles“

These combine low-cost work modules, each of which performs a specific processing function,
in scalable multilevel systems in any desired configuration:

  • Production and storage areas merge seamlessly into a flexible overall system:
    no separation between the track, processing area, and storage area
    .
  • No need for storage and retrieval processes
    .
  • (intermediate) storage takes place on the shuttles in any available space in the overall system, preferably close to the next processing step
  • The shuttles provide a constant real-time inventory overview of all goods with all status parameters, without additional track and trace systems
    .
  • A wide variety of process chains with a high degree of vertical integration can be generated using software-controlled systems
    .
  • Various products with different batch sizes can be manufactured in parallel at low cost

Our Principles

As a start-up, we can fully exploit the potential of Industry 4.0/IIoT with the latest technologies, without any compromises and regardless of old structures. We follow the following principles:

x
everything from one source

_____________________

all modules and processes are
fully compatible with each other
x

    • completely consistent standardization
      and modularization,
      including the IT architecture

      xx
    • high scalability of all modules
      in terms of size and performance
      x
      x

x

high vertical range of manufacture

_____________________

as many processing steps as possible
in one place – from the basic material
to the finished product
x

    • guarantees independence from
      external supply chains

      xx
    • saves logistics and routes of
      transportation of supply networks

    • universal use for
      various product groups
      x
    • the aim is always to optimize
      the overall benefit, not to
      over-perfect individual processes

AI-supported algorithms have been adapted and further developed for the three-dimensional navigation of our autonomous shuttles. This enables the shuttles to navigate simultaneously along the most economical routes to any destination in any scalable space that is densely occupied with hundreds or even thousands of shuttles on all floors.

This enables the efficient and economical manufacture of a wide range of products, even in small batch sizes and in the middle of the regional sales market.

“The result is sustainable manufacturing that combines economy and ecology.”

Configurable

Manufacturing

infrastructure modules

The infrastructure consists of a modular shelving system with an innovative multifunctional floor. It can be used as a driving track and as a base for working modules.

With its modularity, the shelving system can be adapted to any floor plan and height. Lifts can be integrated anywhere.

logistic modules

The autonomous shuttle is a universal transport unit that handles parts transportation including mobile temporary storage.

Power is permanently supplied by the multifunctional floor. This eliminates the need for batteries and charging stops.

working modules

Each working module covers a specific function (e.g. machining, joining, laser cutting, 3D printing, forming).

It sets itself up using the smart IT structure. This makes it easy to adapt processing options.

___________________________________________________________________

Entire production structures can be flexibly configured and adapted. The modules are digitally configured using an intuitive user interface from the modular system and then installed and commissioned at the customer’s site.

The easy replacement of the modules also allows the producer to make individual adjustments at short-term notice if requirements change with regard to the necessary processing options – e.g. other materials, product dimensions – or if capacity requirements change.

business segment

services

PAY PER USE

The consistent standardization allows the MorgenWerk modules to be kept in stock.

From this pool, the required devices are then offered to the cooperating manufacturers in return for usage fees. At the end of their use, the modules are taken back.

The provider MorgenWerk ensures functional reliability during the use of the modules via digital monitoring. MorgenWerk also provides maintenance and replaces the modules in the case of serious defects.

Thanks to the subscription rental, producers do not need any investment capital and can concentrate fully on their strengths and main processes. They only keep the module equipment currently required in their business. There are no risks associated with incorrect purchases and product changes.

By bundling requirements from a sufficiently large number of users in a network. MorgenWerk as a provider can procure the assets cheaply and compensate for fluctuations in demand.

NETWORK FORMATION

The network combines the flexibility of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) with the advantages of centralized facilities and services.

Network expansion

The network achieves its full potential through the integration of independent developers as cooperation partners who align their B2C product developments with the characteristic features of the MorgenWerk system.

The resulting network community can sustainably process and optimise the entire value chain of a product – from the initial idea to meaningful recycling at the end of its useful life.

Scaling and Globalisation

A local network is duplicated in other areas after corresponding growth. Ultimately, this results in an internationally growing network with a uniform basic structure and short distances to the market areas. This makes it independent of customs barriers and transport problems.

The combination of the advantages of centralised basic development in hardware and software with the flexibility of decentralised, independent manufacturing companies creates a new future for SMEs.

With the expansion of its network, MorgenWerk is setting up additional development centres to incorporate country-specific requirements. One of the next locations is likely to be India. This is partly due to the enormous growth potential there, and partly because some of the Indian development engineers employed by MorgenWerk will soon be able to contribute their acquired experience to setting up a MorgenWerk location in their home country.

FIELDS OF USE

The modular adaptability of MorgenWerk technology enables producers in the network to expand the product fields as desired, scaling the dimensions and complexity of the products to be manufactured – from consumer goods and household products up to complete systems.

The clustore project is currently being implemented as a preliminary project for the application of the basic technology.

FULLY AUTOMATED VENDING SYSTEM
FOR DECENTRALIZED STORES

The Clustore project is the first specific application of the
