Masa as driver of innovation
Masa participate in the project "Concrete factory of the future"Andernach 30 May 2023 - In May 2021, IAB Weimar (Weimar Institute of Applied Construction Research) started the project "Concrete factory of the future".
Masa, together with numerous other suppliers and concrete factories, is part of this. This joint research project that is to end in September 2023 pursues the development of an expert system and a consulting tool for the manufacture of concrete goods and the improvement of processes in concrete factories. For this, technical contexts are combined with the view of the producing industries to gain knowledge for the industrial manufacture of concrete goods. A holistic analysis of the workability of concrete along the production sequence of a concrete factory in routine operation is carried out.
The determination of the interaction of the process-relevant parameters and the key factors for a high product quality and their impact on the complete industrial process shall lead to the generation of an expert system and a consulting tool. These can support concrete factories and their suppliers in their future strategic alignment and improvement of processes.
The planned expert system provides the manufacturing companies with a tool to master the complex challenges in the manufacture of concrete goods, based on the experience of all project partners. The quality management in the concrete factories is to be improved, and employees can profit from the collective knowledge which is documented in the expert system and the consulting tool. This helps to make production more efficient and to avoid mistakes.
IAB Weimar on a visit at Masa
The second workshop with members of IAB Weimar and the Technical Director of Masa, Mr Marcel Helsper, was held at the Masa production location in Andernach on 05.03.2023. On this occasion, main ideas were exchanged how to push digitalisation in the industry to provide competence for the future. This is intended to counteract skilled labour shortage and to plan resources better.

It's a long way from raw materials through the mixture to the finished stone. Many plant components are involved in this process. Only if the system components are matched, can one be assured of a smooth process and economical operation of the block and paver making plant.
The manufacturing of autoclaved aerated concrete products demands high standards for mixing and dosing of the aggregates, the control of the fermentation process and the control of each production step. Masa's aerated concrete installations are proven advanced technology processes, designed according to customers specific requirements. This approach allows complete solutions to ensure highly efficient, optimised processes resulting in consistent final product quality.
It's a long way from raw materials through the mixture to the finished sand lime bricks. Many plant components are involved in this process. Only if the system components are matched, can one be assured of a smooth process and economical operation of the sand lime brick production plant.
It's a long way from raw materials over mixture to the finished (Kerb)stone. Masa Kerbstone presses were developed to fulfill among other criteria, the special requirements of the "British Standard" kerbstones. This "British Standard" is still a condition in countries of the Middle East and the UK.
Masa plants and machines are installed and commissioned by our own experienced fitters. Masa relies on qualified personnel, trained in Germany.
The Masa Lifetime service extends far beyond the actual assembly and commissioning of a plant. Masa can rely on specific know-how and an industry experience of more than 110 years.
Do you need support with your machine? Masa Support scores in both quality and significantly improved accessibility.
