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. 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.
Innovative
Manufacturing
Structure
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:
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.”
Innovative
business model
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.
Configurable
Manufacturing
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.
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.
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.
___________________________________________________________________
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.
NETWORK VISION
The network combines the flexibility of small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) with the advantages of centralized facilities and services.
The full potential of the network is achieved when developers are integrated as cooperation partners in addition to the producers. The developers focus their product development on the specific characteristics of the MorgenWerk system.
The resulting community of different players can sustainably process and optimize the entire value chain of a product – from the initial idea, through development, production and use, to effective recycling at the end of its lifetime.
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.
The same basic principle can be used to develop a wide variety of product fields – from consumer goods and household requirements such as garden furniture up to complete systems.
The clustore project, which is partially sponsored by the state of Baden-Württemberg,
is currently being implemented as the first application of the basic technology.
FULLY AUTOMATED VENDING SYSTEM
FOR DECENTRALIZED STORES
The Clustore project is the first specific application of the
of the MorgenWerk technology, which realizes dynamic
logistics in three-dimensional space.
The pilot facility will go into service in mid-2025.
