Leeds United’s pre-season camp in Germany was a covert operation Its secret nature was driven by necessity rather than preference courtesy of some head-scratching decision made by the German authorities Far away from fans in West Yorkshire, Daniel Farke’s squad spent the past nine days at Hotel-Residence Klosterpforte — situated in the town of Harsewinkel on the outskirts of Bielefeld in the west of the country — locked into a period of hard work as they prepare for the new Championship season with the team’s location kept about as well under wraps as anyone can keep anything away from the detectives in the United fanbase were made available for supporters to attend on the instructions of German police stretched too thin in the wake of Euro 2024 It seems a fair request if you skate over the fact that Coventry City, Rangers and Aston Villa will play games in front of fans in Germany this summer as well as the fact that Leeds worked extensively to provide ways around the shut-out only to hit a brick wall A case of one rule for some and another for Leeds not that it will have stopped the most optimistic travellers from making the trip anyway there was still plenty of work done by Farke’s team and much learned from the camp and the two victories against Bundesliga 2 promotion hopefuls 👌 “Great finish from Piroe!” pic.twitter.com/wSy6v0jzca — Leeds United (@LUFC) July 27, 2024 The hotel Leeds used as their base is an old favourite of Farke’s who also used it while boss at Norwich City FIFA-accredited training facilities built for the 2006 World Cup Being back in his homeland also allowed the United manager to spend time with his family as his son watched training early in the week There was not much time for lingering on the part of the players with sessions in the heat having put them through their paces straight off the back of the 3-0 win over Harrogate Town it held great promise for the new campaign with Hannover and Schalke both brushed aside in 4-1 and 2-0 wins There was no return to the three-at-the-back system tested by Farke against Harrogate Leeds' return to the 'smiley' badge on their new away kit: The treasure hunt and the history could have a fringe role for the season ahead barring further recruits at the back 🔥 That away shirt x @Jayden_bogle pic.twitter.com/wQ194ZHAG8 — Leeds United (@LUFC) July 25, 2024 Farke was not shy in joining in with workouts as players took part in their gym sessions while Summerville and Willy Gnonto got into the Olympic spirit early with a bit of shadow boxing Banter between players was not in short supply A go-karting trip seemed just reward for some intense sessions on the pitch After securing Bogle’s signature, the Leeds transfer team is continuing its work, having had a bid for Koln midfielder Dejan Ljubicic knocked back At around €4million (£3.4m; $4.3m) with 12 months left on the 26-year-old’s contract it remains to be seen if United will go back again for the Austrian international Multiple bids were needed to bag Bogle — Farke wants at least another midfielder and another full-back for his squad Safely back in the UK after a valuable and more settled period together than Farke was afforded in a summer of change this time last year, the focus turns to the final friendly of pre-season when Valencia visit Elland Road at the weekend at least in person — there are plenty of videos photos and interviews online — could yet prove to be the most important nine days of this squad’s journey together with additions still to be made and if they can get off to a good start early doors The Leeds controversy over 'super away attendees' - what's happened and is it fair (Top photo: Daniel Farke at the pre-season friendly match against Harrogate Town; by Richard

picking system has now been put into operation at the North Rhine-Westphalia site which in the future will enable the products of a total of 25 customers from the pharmaceutical and medical technology industry to be shipped even more efficiently and quickly to hospitals Arvato is using the new shuttle solution to drive forward the automation strategy for its global sites “The healthcare market is currently being shaped by the trend toward more and more direct deliveries from pharmaceutical and medical technology manufacturers to their customers This makes automation useful in healthcare logistics as well,” says Dr Managing Director Healthcare at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions “It allows us to respond more flexibly and efficiently to changing market needs ensure optimal patient care and grow together with our customers.” The appropriate automation solution was determined after a detailed analysis of inventory and delivery volumes and the structure of the products Arvato has its own Logistics Engineering department whose experts have clustered different automation technologies independently of manufacturers according to application standards as in a modular system the modules for each project are then put together individually on the basis of the respective requirements since the space conditions in Harsewinkel were predefined and could not be expanded at will we opted for a state-of-the-art shuttle system with stacked bins from our service provider KNAPP,” explains Fabian Generotzky Vice President Operations Healthcare at Arvato in Harsewinkel With the increased storage density in the shuttle in this way around 4,300 sq m of additional storage space have been gained which is now available for growth with existing and new customers For the implementation, the Healthcare division was able to draw on the experience and expertise of other successful automations by Arvato Supply Chain Solutions Generotzky adds: “The implementation in an existing facility during ongoing operations was nevertheless one of the most complex projects in the history of Arvato Healthcare.” A challenge that was mastered with great commitment from everyone involved which extends over three floors in Harsewinkel has a total capacity of 55,000 storage locations for 44,000 totes and 11,000 shipping cartons 84 shuttles move in the system in five aisles and can switch between the individual levels via six elevators pharmaceutical and medical products are conveyed directly to six picking stations using the goods-to-person principle Additional work areas for order picking and goods issue are connected to the system via high-performance conveyor and sorter technology semi- and fully-automatic carton erecting machines support the dispatch processes “The output per aisle is 400 to 650 movements per hour,” says Generotzky the robotic vehicle both stores and retrieves goods – so there are no empty runs so it’s ideal for processing high volumes and boosts efficiency throughout the value-added process of warehouse logistics.” The customer structure at the site also spoke in favour of using a shuttle so it is not possible to foresee a pronounced ABC distribution of products,” adds Generotzky you quickly have direct access to the products and you don’t need any lead time to get the items out of the system.” With the new shuttle system in Harsewinkel, Arvato Supply Chain Solutions is well equipped for further growth Generotzky concludes: “We have built generously and planned for capacity expansions in order to be able to react quickly

producing several anniversary machines from LEXION EVION and DOMINATOR at three locations on three continents field days and demonstrations in the coming weeks and months European pioneer of combine harvester productionCLAAS has been one of the key pacesetters in combine harvester development for many decades the Harsewinkel/Germany-based family company rationalized grain harvesting in Europe with the mowing-threshing-binder with the cross-flow principle The great success finally came in 1946 with the SUPER series which from 1953 could also be delivered with add-on engines and from 1958 as the SUPER AUTOMATIC with a hydraulic cutting unit drive More than 60,000 units of the SUPER were marketed worldwide and even found buyers in Canada and Uruguay International competence and production networkOver the decades CLAAS has also supplied other manufacturers with combine harvesters CLAAS combine harvesters have no longer been manufactured exclusively at the Harsewinkel headquarters the first CLAAS CROP TIGER rolled off the assembly line in India of which more than 10,000 units have been produced CLAAS has also been producing LEXION hybrid combine harvesters for the North American market in its own factory in Omaha - in colored yellow and with Caterpillar branding until 2019 Assistance and data management: From the Throughput Control Device to CEMOS and CLAAS connectThe fact that threshing performance has increased since the first European combine harvester is not only due to further developments in hardware and higher engine performance automation has become an increasingly important part of further optimization in the areas of efficiency With the introduction of the throughput control device in 1974 CLAAS began integrating electronic operating aids into combine harvesters which was introduced in 2013 and has since won several awards at international trade fairs such as Agritechnica and SIMA then proved to be a real game changer: to this day it has been continuously expanded to include further processes in the combine harvester and on the cutting unit enabling optimal utilization of the machine with a full focus on maximum harvesting performance - supported thanks to the unique multi-crop suitability of all CLAAS combine harvesters More than a machine: The CLAAS PrincipleFrom the first combine harvester in 1936 until today CLAAS has provided its customers with comprehensive support When purchasing a combine harvester from CLAAS customers expect maximum performance and productivity through leading technology and optimal support groundbreaking driver assistance and close networking with the CLAAS service partner not only is maximum campaign performance achieved but also a unique lifetime performance of every CLAAS combine harvester It is thanks to this future viability that CLAAS combine harvesters have always remained in use for a very long time - in some cases for more than five decades Due to extremely low annual losses in value all CLAAS combine harvester series and models are very popular Customers can participate in the anniversary for the 2025 harvest season with a special sales edition in addition to selected equipment features is characterized by “More than a machine” stickers on the side panels All CLAAS combine harvesters from the 2025 product year will also receive a small sticker on the cabin door “A CLAAS combine harvester is actually much more than a machine,” continues Mohr LEXION and DOMINATOR there is a powerful sales organization fast and reliable spare parts supply and much more a strong international marketing of used machines like the technical factors of overall performance CLAAS (www.claas-group.com) is a family business founded in 1913 and is one of the world’s leading

to a pick-up in manufacturing rising exports and surging construction at the start of the year After warning just four weeks ago that output probably shrank for a second straight quarter between January and March caution that a sustained recovery isn’t assured Crops, Machinery Global machinery maker rebuilds its 70-year-old German combine factory floor Germany — When Claas began building its first mower/thresher/binder units in the late 1930s it would have been hard to imagine that the progeny of these machines would be constructed inside a facility that has 54 acres under a roof It also would have been hard to imagine machines this big; the hopper doors wouldn’t have been able to open under the roof the harvesters didn’t even have doors — or hoppers The 110-year-old company has just updated its combine facility in Harsewinkel much of which dated back to the early 1950s While most of the largest Lexion machines that North American farmers are familiar with hail from the Claas of America factory in Omaha more than 50 percent of those machine’s 15,000 or so parts are assembled there the company produces a wide range of machines in its European headquarters in Germany Claas began building self-propelled combines in 1952 under a roof that was less than 14 feet high in places That would prove tight for today’s machines and even its largest four-wheel drive tractors which are also built at the newly revamped facility the company kept the overall footprint of the factory the investment paid for a lot of modernization beyond the building’s shell including in-floor guidance for semi-autonomous “alligator” robotic units that ferry combine chassis around the facility like giant metal snowballs growing larger with every foot travelled It also allowed the company to move off dedicated assembly lines for each model-type of machine from the all new Trion and the biggest 790 horsepower Lexion Tiger can be assembled more efficiently than before “We don’t build a bunch of one model and then (retool) for another one and build those We build as the dealers and their farmers order them It avoids delays and having inventories to manage of machines built (on speculation),” said Shoushen He of Claas in Harsewinkel Staff are trained and certified to build every machine on the assembly line “It is far more efficient and provides a lot of diversity for our people working on the floor,” she said Today about 1,600 people work on the plant floor “two to three” tractors and “eight or nine” forage harvesters And we can open the (hopper doors) on the biggest machines now,” she said Newsletter Sign Up - Receive free Western Producer newsletters Breaking ag news stories and commodities markets snapshots delivered daily right to your inbox

Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Arvato Supply Chain Solutions continues to advance the automation of its locations a driverless transport system (DTS) has been introduced to handle all floor-level pallet transport jobs for the healthcare sector at the Harsewinkel distribution center The system includes six automated industrial trucks from Jungheinrich that can move around the space freely and deliver around 400 pallets a day to their destinations Arvato uses its Harsewinkel location to deliver logistics services for customers in the pharmaceutical and medical technology industries with 31,000 square meters available for this purpose at the site To cope with the increasing volume of internal pallet transport tasks while also countering the shortage of skilled labor the site has invested in six driverless transport trucks developed by the specialist Jungheinrich around 300 reflectors were installed on the walls and shelves along the transport routes in the summer of 2019 These serve as navigation points for the vehicles and are recognized by a laser scanner on the vehicles This enables the driverless transport vehicle (DTV) to navigate with an accuracy of up to two millimeters using triangulation a new conveyor technology control system was installed floor markings were applied in accordance with 5S standards and turning stations and buffer racks were set up on the central travel track to automatically buffer pallets and map out longitudinal and transverse transport operations The new technology is rounded off by system interfaces with the warehouse management software and the conveyor technology control system and Internal Transport were informed about the concept and the corresponding rules of conduct at the beginning of the year and also stop at the disposal area to empty the waste containers Driving jobs for the DTS are generated based on the transport jobs generated by the warehouse management software The source and destination for the automatic system are generated via the respective source and destination storage locations The DTVs navigate independently around the warehouse and put pallet conveyor systems into operation the warehouse management software and the conveyor technology each pallet movement has an integrated status upgrade This enables us to track the current position of a pallet in real time,” explains Erich Berg the system also transports finished shipping pallets The warehouse management software verifies whether there is already a loading row for the carrier or opens a new loading row and submits it to the control software “We can also provide the system with manual support at any time we can block off certain areas or hall sections in order to keep mixing between the traffic from the automated and manual halls to a minimum,” explains Matthias Anderson from the Logistics Engineering business unit the vehicle comes to an immediate stop and does not continue its task until the obstacle has been removed The vehicle is also connected to the personal protection system the fire protection doors and the fire alarm system the driverless transport system exits the danger zone independently “Driverless transport systems are the cornerstone of automated intralogistics Based on tried and tested standard industrial trucks supplemented by automation components and controlled by intelligent software they perform recurring transport tasks for high handling volumes extremely safely and efficiently is a driverless transport vehicle based on the EKS vertical order picker The EKS 215a can transport loads of up to 1.5 t in weight and automatically store them at lifting heights of up to 6.0 m the vehicle can reach maximum speeds of up to 2.5 m/s the vehicle travels at a speed of 1.7 m/s and the lifting height is 2.5 m.The elimination of the driver’s platform makes the EKS 215a particularly maneuverable The self-supporting forks of the EKS 215a enable it to transport special load carriers and closed pallets as well handling stations that we can’t drive vehicles under,” says Dr “The implementation of the Driverless Transport System provides optimum support for our employees,” said Fabian Generotzky Director of Operations at Arvato Supply Chain Solutions “They can devote themselves to more value-creating activities and put their energy into tasks such as stocking the reserve warehouses so that goods can be retrieved more quickly this also increases the level of quality in the warehouse Damage to pallets is minimized because the system works with millimeter precision Alongside VVA in Gütersloh and the Arvato logistics center in Landsberg the Harsewinkel facility is one of the pioneers in this field “Given the great depth of integration into the processes and the associated complexity I am sure that this project can be used as a prime example for the further expansion of automation at Arvato,” Project Manager Berg says

agriculture in Paris he took over the planning and establishment of a Claas distributor in France He joined his parents’ firm in Harsewinkel in 1958,” said a company news release announcing his death Claas became managing director of the firm in 1962 a partner when the company restructured in 1978 and then chair of the board and shareholders in 1996 after the firm became a joint stock company company develops a trait that it says provides genetic resistance to sclerotinia “His special focus was always on developing pioneering products and mass-producing them economically following the success of the Dominator combine harvester came the completely new development of the Lexion,” the news release “The Jaguar forage harvester and the large tractor Xerion were also developed under Helmut Claas.” Claas took over the tractor business from France-based Renault Agriculture in 2003 and expanded production sites in Russia The machinery pioneer had honorary doctorates from four universities and was made a knight of the French Legion of Honour He was inducted into the Hall of Fame of American Equipment Manufacturers in 2013 such as honorary citizenship of his hometown of

road into a field of well-aged corn Traffic patiently waited for the big machine to clear the road and put up with it tossing a little chaff onto vehicles as it cut its way into the tightly planted field Harsewinkel is known by that name across Europe because it is home to Claas is home to John Deere’s tractors and Hesston These are towns where legendary farm machinery dominates the economy and presides over the history of mechanized agriculture Despite financially harder times for most of the large farm equipment companies or “turn over” as it is expressed in European terms should remain relatively steady to down slightly the company is avoiding making many cuts to its production staff The Claas family business is the world’s fifth largest farm equipment manufacturer and has had $5 billion in annual sales the past couple years It employs 3,300 of its 11,400 staff in the small community of Harsewinkel so what happens in global machinery sales matters a great deal here Despite tight times in farm machinery sales Claas officials expect to see nearly $5 billion in annual sales again this year Wolfram Eberhardt of Claas doesn’t have to worry about market regulators’ sanctions or angry shareholders when he speculates about the 101-year-old company’s year-end sales before the last quarter closes it’s a family business; just a big one,” he said during Agritechnica “(Financially) it has been more of a challenge (this year) one has to expect slowing at some point in agricultural businesses,” he said at the 100 acre Harsewinkel factory complex The company continues to invest heavily in expansion limiting its profit margins to four to nine percent A few weeks ago it opened a nine-fold expansion of its Russian combine factory in Krasnodar Many farm equipment companies have built assembly plants in Russia to meet that country’s 19 percent tariff on imported farm equipment but few have chosen to set up full fledged factories built from scratch It means that Claas is competing in the one area of machinery production that Russia is known best for: Rostelmash (Versatile) combines Eberhardt said Claas will continue to supply engines and transmissions for Rostelmash’s combines despite now being true domestic competitors “We are thinking there is market for all of us Russia is our next (door) neighbour here,” he said “It was a challenge to get the staff we needed but we have recruited the best people from across Russia to work in the new factory.” One in 10 Claas employees are Chinese now that the company has bought combine maker Jinyee of Shangdong Eberhard Weller of Claas’s international marketing division said 77 percent of Claas’s business is done outside of Germany The company’s largest Lexion combines are made in Nebraska and have a 40 percent share of the North American market Weller said the company tries to build and engineer many of its machines where it has the best market for them and has followed that pattern since the 1960s “The largest Lexion is built in North America The (forage equipment is built) in northern France The (small Indian made combine) Tiger is built where they use it,” he said

supply-side bottlenecks and the pandemic We even registered a double-digit rise in revenue and a significant improvement in profitability across all world regions” The drivers of last year’s growth in North America and Eastern Europe have been joined by the core markets in Western and Central Europe The United Kingdom also experienced major growth despite the significant uncertainty surrounding Brexit Spending on research and development at a record level Expenditure on research and development set a new record with €262 million (previous year: €237 million) Investments in innovative electronic architectures and the digitisation of agricultural processes remained important focus areas Investments in fixed assets totalling €138 million (previous year: €131 million) continued at a high level the Future Factory for tractors was reopened in May following an extensive conversion There was an almost seamless transition from the official completion to the second phase of modernising the combine harvester production facilities in Harsewinkel which has since been brought to a successful conclusion Over 15,000 m² of production space was completely refurbished in just five months State-of-the-art AGV transport systems are now used in the production areas of both factories increasing both flexibility and efficiency CLAAS has also significantly expanded its production capacities in Krasnodar which can now manufacture four times as many combine harvesters as five years ago With innovative products and a strong sales team we managed to acquire new customers for CLAAS and convince existing customers once again the model campaign for harvesting technology continued with the launch of the new TRION model series CLAAS now delivers a broad range of variants and equipment in the mid-range segment that is unparalleled in this combine harvester class There have also been significant developments in the tractor segment: An international jury of agriculture journalists awarded the AXION 960 CEMOS the title of “Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2021” thanks to its self-learning operator assistance system CEMOS demonstrably reduces diesel consumption in a double-digit percentage range while increasing the area output at the same time The ARION 400 tractors received a facelift to mark the introduction of the Stage V exhaust gas after-treatment standard and have been equipped with a number of performance-enhancing parameters There was also a wealth of innovation in the forage harvesting segment which included an extensive technical update for the QUADRANT large square baler The number of employees around the world rose over the course of the year and was 11,957 at the end of the fiscal year (previous year: 11,395) the number rose by 3.5 percent to 5,790 (previous year: 5,596) and by 4.3 percent to 2,377 in France (previous year: 2,279) the number of trainees also increased to 775 (previous year: 714) of whom 473 were based in Germany (previous year: 430) Number of staff on reporting date (30 September) The supply situation and price development on the procurement markets present a greater risk compared to last year the company anticipates stable demand for agricultural machinery in the most important sales regions during the 2022 fiscal year CLAAS therefore expects a rise in revenue and a slightly lower result in a year-on-year comparison

the DOMINATOR has been on sale for longer than any other harvesting machine in the world a new key player appeared on the combine harvester scene followed a year later by the DOMINATOR 100 CLAAS moved into the 5- and 6-walker classes and in so doing set new standards for the industry As well as opening up a new dimension of performance with threshing drum widths of 1,320 and 1,580 mm respectively these models represented a major step towards the most advanced combine harvester technology with the hydrostatic ground drive which was available as an option for the DOMINATOR 80 The plant in Harsewinkel was also thoroughly modernised for the DOMINATOR and organised to support the new modular design the various DOMINATOR model series established themselves as the best-selling combine harvesters in Europe This was the result of a programme of continuous combine harvester development – notable stages being the 5-series of 1975 as well as the 6- and 8-series in 1979 and 1982 respectively the DOMINATOR 85 and DOMINATOR 105 saw the introduction of electronic throughput monitoring CLAAS presented a world first in the form of the Cylinder System This boosted throughput once again by using eight tangential separation cylinders for residual grain separation instead of straw walkers with the series rounded out at the lower end with the DOMINATOR 115 CS DOMINATOR 114 CS and DOMINATOR 112 CS models the CS range was renamed as the COMMANDOR CS series Market leader thanks to DOMINATORMoving into the 1990s the DOMINATOR continued to be the driving force for sales and revenue in the combine harvester sector at CLAAS delivering impressive performance not only in level terrain but also on slopes as a result of the 3D cleaning system It is thanks to this model series more than any other that CLAAS became the European market leader in combine harvesters and maintained its position in the top slot the rugged seed green combine harvesters quickly became established in the grain growing regions of eastern Germany CLAAS responded to the demand for higher threshing performance with new top models An upstream accelerator drum in the MEGA threshing unit increased throughput by up to 30 percent Shortly after the introduction of the new threshing and separation system the high-performance DOMINATOR combine harvesters equipped with it were renamed MEGA The smaller DOMINATOR models remained in the product range for several more years as a cost-effective alternative for farms with their own machinery and for export markets Synonymous with performance and durabilityOutside Europe the DOMINATOR quickly made a name for itself the term DOMINATOR has even become established as a synonym for "combine harvester" – regardless of the colour of the machine The seed green combine harvesters were popular not only because of their performance because of their durability and their simple straightforward design with excellent accessibility for maintenance tasks DOMINATOR models were always in demand not only as new machines their robust technology was complemented with innovations such as the CONTOUR cutterbar guidance or the 3D cleaning system mentioned above Although DOMINATOR production in Harsewinkel ended in the landmark anniversary year 2021 CLAAS is continuing to produce the DOMINATOR 40 TERRA TRAC in India for sale in that region and the DOMINATOR 370 has been manufactured at the Chinese CLAAS combine harvester plant in Gaomi since 2019 in the form of a hybrid combine harvester for both the local market and export "It's important to us to maintain the name "DOMINATOR" in our production range as the embodiment of reliable easy-to-operate combine harvester technology" the CLAAS executive board member with responsibility for self-propelled harvesting technology "By developing new DOMINATOR models and opening up new markets for these combine harvesters we are also securing the long-term future of this world-famous product name.” CLAAS

(TT) Jaguar forager The unit in question rolled off the production line on 4 February at the Harsewinkel plant in Germany The TT option remains only available on the firm’s Jaguar 960 (625hp) and flagship 990 (925hp) models over 90% of models sold are the flagship 925hp 990 variant with some two-thirds destined for eastern dairy farms which is longer than that of its wheeled counterpart leaves the TT unmatched for comfort and ride quality especially when crossing centre-pivot ruts and flood irrigation ridges according to senior vice-president of the Claas forage harvester division Dominik Grothe The Jaguar Terra Trac crawler units are only available for the 960 (625hp) and flagship 990 (925hp) models leaving the Jaguar TT with an external width of less than 2.99m is said to be
