Production

 

Our experts in the production and assembly of components and inner boxes work towards a single goal: Top quality from a single source.
We respond flexibly to our customers' requirements. That's why our experts don't start production until the order has been placed. There are fixed teams that work hand in hand. These teams consist of fitters, inspectors, packers and logistics specialists.

  • One person, one unit.

    A cooking system is assembled by a single assembler in just under 200 steps. We trust each employee 100%, so we know that every product we make is of the highest quality. At the end, the assembler marks 'his' cooking system with a label bearing his name. This means that their work can be found anywhere in the world. Many customers don't call their cooking system “RATIONAL”, but “Manfred”, “Claudia” or “Ivan”.

  • Immerse yourself in the modern world of production at RATIONAL.

    Rame, one of our dedicated employees, will take you on an exciting journey through his workstations. As soon as he receives an order, he sets about carefully assembling the first components required, which he takes from the production shelves. We focus on ergonomic and efficient processes, so Rame can lift the cooking system he is working on - this is easy on his back and makes his work easier. Now precise handling is required: About 20 cables have to be routed to the right places so that the fan motor, heating, steam generator and other important components work together perfectly. 
    Our production lines are organised according to Kanban principles. This optimises the workflow and creates clear structures that make your work easier. Rame connects the coded connectors of the iCombi Pro control unit and carefully inserts the control panel. To install the door, he uses an advanced lifting system that acts as an assembly aid and simplifies the process. Finally, he uses a tablet to check the final assembly: Check questions help him to ensure the high quality of our equipment.
    After about an hour and a half, the stand-alone unit is ready for the next station, the test tower, where the software is installed. A special moment for Rame was when he discovered a cooking system he had assembled himself in his child's kindergarten - a feeling of pride and connection with the product.

  • Large, bright warehouse with an industrial high roof and numerous skylights. The floor is clean and gray, the hall is clearly laid out with many stacked brown boxes on pallets. On the right, there are shelves with small parts and packaging materials. Several yellow lifting devices hang from the ceiling. A few people in safety vests work in the hall. Signs on the ceiling are labeled with words such as “picking”. The hall appears well organized and designed for logistics or shipping.

    Full steam ahead to the customer.

    The shop floor is a hive of activity. Palletised goods are sent on their way to more than 120 countries around the world every minute. Everything has to be in the right place at the right time to be loaded for shipment. Franziska picks up the iCombi Pro at the 'station' with the forklift and takes it to the gate where a truck is waiting. At the 'station', the products are pre-sorted by destination country thanks to a driverless transport system. This technology makes it possible to efficiently serve specialist retailers around the world, as well as the company's nine overseas warehouses.
    The aim is clear: To get products into customers' kitchens as quickly as possible, so they can get on with their work without delay. Every move counts and the warehouse logistics specialists work hand in hand with the latest technology and a dedicated team to ensure everything runs smoothly.
