MENSCHEN INSIGHT 6.32

MENSCHEN INSIGHT 6.32 am: Gunther Jahnke rummages in a box for the appropriate key, opening the gates to the dealership yard with it. The package is laid in the delivery box and the delivery documented through scanning a barcode in the box, but also by photograph. We take our leave of the driver. A long journey lies behind us. While we wait for the dealership to open its doors, the distribution tour goes further for Jahnke. He still has seven deliveries on his list. As fast as the wind, the part is packed and readied for transport. Everything is punctually completed. Now NSE can collect the carton. At NSE in Osnabruck. Here every act is rapidly carried out. All consignments are sorted by region for further delivery. Arrived. The package is properly placed in the delivery box at the Krone dealership MAREP. Willy Priepke, MAREP fitter, mounts the new coupler. is trump. And accuracy too. Every product dispatch is scanned several times during its journey and thus precisely recorded. 7.58 pm: The palette with our spare part is filled, secured with plastic sheeting and loaded into another transport vehicle. We greet the new driver and set off on the next lap eastwards. Our next target is the town of Lehrte near Hanover. 22.15 pm: Some two hours later, we’re there. At this consolidation point, complete loads are rapidly exchanged to help shorten the total journey time. 22.30 pm: We watch as our packet is loaded onto the vehicle for the next stage – forwards to the distribution point Bochow near Berlin. 1.40 am: Arrival in Bochow. The ware is unloaded. The responsible NSE partner scans the shipment. Once again, the packages are redistributed between different vehicles for subsequent delivery rounds. 1.45 am: We meet Gunther Jahnke who’ll be taking us with him on his delivery round through Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. He takes charge of our package. A strenuous early morning begins. In total, we hand-over 19 separate deliveries before we at last reach our destination at Teterow. 7.00 am: Michael Toppe, who’s responsible for spare parts with MAREP in Teterow, opens the doors for us and takes the package out of the delivery box. He checks the delivery and gives the package to the workshop. Mechanic Willy Priepke fits the required spare part into the BiG Pack 1290 HDP HS sitting in the workshop. 7.39 am: Completed. The coupler is fitted. The baler is once again ready for work and can be transported back to the customer. Our conclusion: to provide a good spare parts service, a very well designed logistic network has to be in place and an extra effort is needed from every player. However: after only one night – from lifting the spare part from its store shelf, transporting it per overnight express right across Germany, to delivery of the machine with the new part to the end customer – the machine is ready for work again. Alongside the high quality original part straight from a farm equipment manufacturer, especially important here is a perfect spare part availability, as well as rapid and reliable service. Hats off for the hard, but very well carried out, job made by everyone involved during this night!

Campaign pro Agriculture KRONE INFORMS WITH BANNER Krone draws attention to the difficult situation faced by dairy farmers with a large banner attached to a forage wagon. The banner features a larger-than-life dairy cow delivering the clear message: “My daily turnover is 9.10 euros. Every day I give 35 l milk for around 26 cents/l. For this I have to be fed and cared for – and still feed my farmer too. ... A joke!” “With this banner we want to point out the current financial position milk producers find themselves in”, explains Bernard Krone, managing director of Krone Holding. “Many people do not know the price that farmers get for a liter of milk. Through the transparent presentation on the banner, every observer can very quickly grasp that milk production is momentarily a loss-making enterprise. A fair price must be paid for a high quality food such as milk, otherwise dairy farmers cannot survive. That is our message – and the resonance from this action, which we’ve had, e.g. posted via the social networks, is definitely very positive.” Comprima Round Baler WRAPPING WITH PERIPHERAL FILM From now on, all Comprima series round balers (including the Comprima X-treme) can be equipped with peripheral film wrap. According to the manufacturer, the new wrapping means silage quality can be increased. The system encourages tighter layers on the bale perimeter. Hereby, expansion is controlled more, and this in turn reduces the risk of mold formation thus increasing forage quality. Peripheral wrapping scores points, too, under economic and ecological aspects, emphasizes Krone. There’s no longer required separation of net and film. Bales are thus easier to break open. Additionally, only one sort of waste is produced. When cutting, the film is not bunched together, so the next wrapping action starts directly with a full width of film. This saves both film and the costs of material. The change between film and net wrapping is rapid and uncomplicated, according to the manufacturer: a film roll is simply inserted instead of the usual net rolls. Krone advises its Krone excellent Round Wrap for the film roll. This completely covers the bales with a breadth of 1.28 m. The produced bale is well held together thanks to the adhesive characteristic of the 5-layer film. Krone offers retrofitting of the peripheral film wrap system for all Comprima models from 2014 onwards. 25
