Leica Geosystems的2D机器控制是StrøjerTegl的正确解决方案，因为需要存储粘土室内和室外

Niels Opstrup has been forced to stay in Denmark during the corona epidemic. Niels, who has a background as an engineer and normally works in his own adventure company in Sao Paulo in Brazil, is currently working in the 150-year old, family-owned brick factory, Strøjer Tegl. Niels has agreed to work with the optimization and documentation of the company’s work processes and production, but he is not afraid of jumping on the dozer that distributes the clay for storage before it is used in the production of bricks.

作为生产设施和工作流程的大量投资的一部分，StrøjerTegl现在正在使用配备了Leica Geosystems的2D机器控制解决方案的Caterpillar推土机.

2D可以同时使用室内和室外

Every day, about 25 trucks arrive at the factory bringing clay from local clay pits. The red clay used for red bricks can be stored outside, but the blue clay used for yellow bricks must be stored under a roof. The clay is stored for two weeks before it is used in brick production. Compared to 3D machine control solutions that need a clear view of the satellites, 2D machine control used together with a rotating laser and laser receivers placed on masts on the machine, can be used both indoor and outdoor.

2D解决方案易于使用，仅显示两个维度：高度和斜率，这正是这种特殊用例所需的，其中粘土被放置在斜坡上，斜率为3％。放置蓝色粘土的室内，其空间较小，并且将粘土放在坡度为12％的堆中。

- We receive clay that has a very mixed composition. You can roughly divide it into fat and lean clay, and we need to mix it in an exact blend to obtain the correct quality of our bricks. We spread the clay out in horizontal layers of 10 cm. when we need it for production, we dig down vertically to receive the right blend. In this way, the clay gets pre-mixed before we perform the final mix in the production, Niels explains.

The 2D solution is easy to use

- It’s easy to set up the system when we are creating a new layer, Niels explains.

- I start up by placing the laser that is used for controlling the machine. Then I enter the values for the height and slope. The solution stores the latest height, and I just add 10 centimeters. Inside the cabin, it’s easy: You catch the laser, sets the dozer in auto mode, and simply start driving, says Niels.

KasperDamsø最初被聘为顾问，以促进平稳的世代变化，但自2017年以来一直担任StrøjerTegl的首席执行官。卡斯珀（Kasper）和尼尔斯（Niels）在格陵兰岛的小天狼星狗雪橇巡逻队具有广阔而有趣的背景。卡斯珀（Kasper）担任国防部长的队长，教育领袖15年，并拥有心理学学位。卡斯珀甚至曾担任布兰妮·斯皮尔斯（Britney Spears）的保镖！

- We have always delivered high-quality bricks, but thanks to machine control, we now have valuable data about the location of the different layers of clay, which allows us to reduce the waste in our quality control, Kasper explains.

如今，StrøjerTegl是一家非常令人印象深刻的公司，该公司拥有砖块和大量的老式汽车。StrøjerTegl每年生产约60吨砖块，并且是一家现代而成功的公司，作为丹麦剩下的最后一家砖厂之一。
