Christian and Lars Engel at the award ceremony for the “Entrepreneur Of The Year Award 2024”👍🏼 Under the motto “The Art of Entrepreneurship”, EY once again honored the best owner-managed companies in Germany this year. On November 7, 2024, the winners in the categories “Family Business”, “Innovation”, “Sustainability” and “Young Companies” were chosen from the 20 finalists at Motorwerk Berlin. Christian and Lars Engel, Managing Directors and owners of BHS Corrugated Maschinen- und Anlagenbau GmbH, took part in the award ceremony as one of 5 finalists in the “Innovation” category. “Just making it to the final of the “Entrepreneur Of The Year Award” was a great success for us. We would like to share this with all our employees. Without their great commitment, their willingness to innovate and their desire for change, none of this would have been possible,” emphasizes Christian Engel. In addition to culinary and musical highlights, the gala also featured an interesting presentation by polar explorer and expedition leader Arved Fuchs on climate change and the resulting consequences and challenges. The gala was hosted by journalist and entrepreneur Judith Rakers. #BHScorrugated #jointeambhs #EY #EYaward #2024 Pictures: © Philipp Kirschner

At BHS Robotics, we believe that strong partnerships drive solutions. That’s why we’re proud to collaborate with Yaskawa Motoman, a leader in industrial robotics. Together, we solve challenging problems and creating innovative solutions for our clients. A recent customer project required some extra effort to achieve the system performance criteria.  Our partner Yaskawa #Motoman worked closely with the BHS controls team to develop and demonstrate the programming strategies needed to meet and exceed the customers performance expectations. Now that’s a true partnership! Whether it’s #palletizing, #welding or complex #kitting Yaskawa has the products and the team to get the job done. Together with our team at BHS Robotics, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in #automation. 

A construction machinery manufacturer had difficulty retaining labor for a repetitive and ergonomically challenging job.  The requirement was to fill boxes with small components, bags of fasteners and gaskets to produce aftermarket rebuild kits. BHS Robotics conceptualized, built and delivered a fully automated end-to-end system from #boxforming to #palletizing for up to 10 unique #SKU’s. Our solution features an #automated box erector, vision-guided robotic pick and place using the #MechMind 3D AI Vision system, and #Motoman robots for precise subkit placement. The system ensures each kit is accurately assembled, sealed, labeled, and palletized, boosting efficiency and ensuring consistent output. You have an Automation Challenge. We have a Solution. Let us help you enhance efficiency and productivity with our tailored automation systems.

A manufacturer of #packagingproducts was challenged with a high level of obsolescence in their legacy corrugated machinery. Aging equipment creates sustainability challenges due to lack of reliability and difficulties sourcing components. BHS Robotics provided a completely new controls system for this client including five (5) Rockwell Automation AC Vector drives, System PLC and Operator Interface panel. The solution is built and tested 100% in Chicago prior to onsite implementation and start-up for the client. This solution is referred to as our ProFacer product and is part of a portfolio of solutions offered to the corrugated industry under our Chicago Electric brand. BHS Robotics is a #Rockwell Automation Silver #OEM partner with specialization in drive technology, #PLCintegration and production monitoring displays. Contact us today to discuss refurbishment of your aging process equipment!
