\"\"Dethleffs GmbH & Co. KG, based in the Allg\u00e4u region of Germany, is one of Europe’s most traditional motorhome manufacturers. For over 90 years, the company has stood for quality, innovation and customer-specific vehicle solutions. In order to consistently implement these high standards in production, Dethleffs relies on state-of-the-art automation \u2013 realised by the PN4000 programming system from WiCAM.<\/p>\n

Technological customisation for maximum variety<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every vehicle at Dethleffs is manufactured individually according to customer requirements. This places the highest demands on CAD\/CAM processes. Together with Harald Wilkesmann, founder of the WiCAM Group, a forward-looking automation approach was therefore developed: the software not only controls the machines, but also analyses components independently and automatically determines the optimal machining path.<\/p>\n

\"Dethleffs

Dethleffs GmbH & Co. KG<\/p><\/div>\n

Automated thinking, dynamic programming<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The PN4000 programming system is now at the heart of the entire process automation system. It imports design data directly from ERP and CAD systems, automatically recognises geometries such as drill holes, pockets, chamfers, T-slots or complex 2\u00bd-D contours \u2013 and immediately generates the appropriate NC programs. In addition, nesting is generated in real time according to requirements.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“We had to automate not only the NC machines but also the programming methods.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Herbert Heumos, CAM Project Engineer at Dethleffs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maximum efficiency \u2013 with complete flexibility<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The system remains responsive even when changes are made at short notice: thanks to functions such as barcode integration, faulty or missing parts can be identified immediately and automatically prioritised for remanufacturing \u2013 without any loss of time or manual intervention. PN4000 thus ensures consistently high capacity utilisation, maximum process reliability and sustainable material efficiency.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Early implementation as a milestone for the industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The PN4000 system was introduced at Dethleffs back in 2004 \u2013 at a time when automated CAD\/CAM programming in this form was still an absolute exception. For Harald Wilkesmann, founder of the WiCAM Group, the implementation at Dethleffs was a real labour of love and a milestone in the development of intelligent manufacturing software. The close partnership and visionary commitment have led to Dethleffs being featured in the official WiCAM documentation on the company’s history \u2013 as an example of true pioneering work in automation.<\/p>\n

\"With

With PN4000, WiCAM has set new standards at Dethleffs \u2013 not only technically, but also strategically: away from rigid program sequences and towards intelligent, dynamic software logic.<\/p><\/div>\n
