Dewi Saraswati - An opportunity for children in South India

Dewi Saraswati - An opportunity for children in South India

For several years, we have supported the children’s village "Dewi Saraswati" in the South India and this programme has since become very dear to WISKA and all our employees. The “Dewi Saraswati” Association seeks to offer educational opportunities to children, particularly disadvantaged girls, from Chengalpattu in South India. The Association is also committed to providing the children with adequate nutrition and basic medical care to improve their chances of a healthy childhood and a self-determined future. Dewi Saraswati is currently home to approximately 100 girls and boys. A further 400 children from the region come to the children’s village every day to attend its primary school and high school.

In 1992 the association "Dewi Saraswati" first began sponsoring children. Since then they have bought a plot of land, built a school and accommodations for the children and created about 60 jobs. To date about 350 members and donors provided different kinds of support to the project. Due to the low administrative costs, over 95 % of donations go directly to fund the project's aims.

The project is now celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. During this time, the association has accomplished a great deal together with its donors and partners. Thanks to assistance from the Dewi Saraswati association, many boys and girls have been given the opportunity to graduate from secondary school and attend university. The best part, however, is that by accomplishing these things, the boys and girls are now role models for the next generation of children in the village. They offer tips and show the kids just how much they can achieve.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world

In keeping with tradition, we are continuing our support for the Indian children's village "Dewi Saraswati". Their "School books under cover" project ensures that all primary school textbooks are stored in secure cupboards to protect them from the damaging effects of humidity and make them permanently accessible to the children. We also cover the running costs of the "Dewi school buses for regular school attendance" for one year. These buses ensure the safe transport of all children who come from outside to school in the children's village and back again.

Safety and security are the most beautiful gifts.

We have been committed to the welfare of the children of the Indian children's village 'Dewi Saraswati' for years. This year, too, the challenges in this part of the world are not getting less. To ensure that the children of the Indian children`s village continue to be housed safely and educated, we are supporting the extensive repairs of leaking roof parts, windows and the inspection and renewal of electrical installations.This way we can give the children exactly the safety and security they deserve.

Welcome back to the classroom

The children in the Indian children's village "Dewi Saraswati" had been waiting for a very long time for the presence classes to start again. The school had been closed since March 2020 and the classrooms were in urgent need of renovation before the long-awaited reopening. After successful repair of the floors classes could finally begin again for all children in freshly renovated classrooms!

Digital lessons for the children of Dewi Saraswati

2020 was a challenging year for everyone globally – also for the children of Dewi Saraswati Children's Village. Due to the Corona pandemic, schooling for the children could not continue as usual. Although the teachers tried to send school material to the children by post. The new tablets, which could be purchased with our donation at Christmas 2020, help to make access to education possible even under these challenging conditions.

Well renovated: Clean drinking water for the children of Dewi Saraswati

The lack of pure drinking water is a growing problem in a lot of countries. This also affects the children’s village Dewi Saraswati. The wells that supply the children with fresh drinking water used to be filled to the brim in the past years, but now they are gradually drying and have dropped to only a few metres which causes even poorer water quality. For Christmas 2019 we committed to the renovation and the additional excavation of one of the wells to ensure a more steady drinking water supply for the children.

Safety through light and books for learning

For Christmas 2018, we were committed to ensuring that “Dewi Saraswati” gets new solar panels that can reliably supply the village with electricity. The boys can now enjoy hot water in their rooms and the girls can enjoy bright light that illuminates the dark corners in the evening. Thanks to the new panels, it was also possible to equip the mini dairy and the sports fields of the primary school and high school on the site with new lamps. The donations were used to purchase new bookshelves and books for the children’s lounges.

More Power for the Dewi Saraswati Children’s Village

Heavy rainfall repeatedly causes power outages in the village or even breaks the transformers entirely as a result of the overload. Sometimes it can take hours for the power to flow again without issue. During this time, life at the Dewi Saraswati children’s village becomes more difficult. This is because power is needed for light so that the children can complete their school work, to cook warm meals, or to keep the mosquitoes out of the dormitories.

For Christmas in 2017, we are arranging for Dewi Saraswati to receive a generator which will keep the power up and running during these situations, ensuring that activities in the children’s village can continue uninterrupted.

Reconstruction after the monsoon

In 2016 South India and also the state of Tamil Nadu, where the children's village is located, were affected by a monsoon. Many new-planted trees and the garden were swept away, rice fields were destroyed. The already difficult supply of food got even worse by the consequences of the monsoon. The donations then were mainly used to finance food both for the children and also animals. Meanwhile, the destroyed rice fields and the garden have been re-planted; other items, for example, the school furniture had to wait for renewal and have now finally been exchanged with our new donation.

Independence through self-sufficiency

In 2015, WISKA demonstrated its commitment by making a major step towards improving living conditions in Dewi Saraswati. We decided to invest in improving the children’s nutritional standards as it cannot be taken for granted that children in Chengalpattu have enough to eat every day. In fact, milk, eggs, fruit, vegetables and meat are still not a regular part of the children’s diet.

The helpers in the village were finding it increasingly difficult to provide a healthy and balanced diet for the children because food prices have been rising rapidly in India from year to year. To help lessen the impact of this ongoing trend, Dewi Saraswati is stepping up its efforts to be more self-sufficient. By keeping livestock, growing its own fruit and vegetables and running a small dairy, the children’s village has been able to guarantee a basic level of provision on a small scale to date. Its level of self-sufficiency has now risen even further thanks to our investment in the acquisition of more cows and chickens and a selection of mango, banana and moringa trees. This development has made everyone very happy – not only the children in Dewi Saraswati, but also the whole WISKA family.

Investments in education, health and safety

Our commitment to Dewi Saraswati has enabled us to achieve a great deal in recent years. The most important stepping stone out of poverty is education. For example, in 2013, WISKA’s donation towards the full renovation of the village’s computer facilities provided new workstations and a secure power supply. The computer room has been well received by the students and teachers alike and is in almost continuous use due to the high level of interest. 

In 2014, we focused our efforts on building a water treatment system and a solar energy system. The new water treatment system shall produce sufficient clean drinking water to protect the little ones from harmful bacteria and infectious diseases. The new solar energy system increases safety in the children’s village by providing adequate lighting both indoors and outdoors. Another important improvement is the development of the outdoor sports facilities. Since most of the children walk barefoot, there were frequent injuries. The redesigned fields are now covered with several layers of sand and thus no longer pose a risk.

WISKA presents polyamide EMC locknut

06.11.2020

Particularly in the industrial environment, with increasingly complex technologies, there is a large number of components that must be effectively protected against electromagnetic interference. For cable entry, there are various solutions, mostly as earthing inserts or braids used in metal cable gland fittings. With its new MagikNUT, WISKA now presents a solution which easily establishes the cable shield contact via the locknut.

The MagikNUT is a new polyamide EMC locknut with an integrated stainless steel clip. The EMC installation is easy and quick: The approx. 1 cm stripped off shielded cable is contacted by the claws of the stainless steel clip within the locknut. In addition to the considerably simplified shield contacting, the MagikNUT polyamide design also enables a simple EMC solution for plastic cable glands: The user benefits from maximum flexibility, from standard cable glands to threaded membrane entries and conduit fittings for cable protection. The new WISKA locknut is lightweight, available in M16, M20 and M25 and black or grey. All information on wiska.com.

WISKA: Contactless body temperature measurement via CCTV

29.05.2020

Industrial and shipbuilding supplier responds to current safety requirements

WISKA extends its range of video surveillance products with a body temperature measuring solution. The supplier has already installed the dual camera with thermal and daylight vision function, including blackbody, in the reception area of its German headquarters - a computer and monitor provides the image results.

"Security through CCTV video surveillance is part of our daily work, so it was only logical for us to start right here especially with the need for increase safety measures in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. With the new camera solution, we are able to meet the protection requirements for guests and employees exceeding the required social distance measures, contact-free but with AI-precise accuracy at +/- 0.3°C," says Ronald Hoppmann, WISKA General Manager.

For indoor applications, a distance of 3 meters is required between the camera and blackbody. The blackbody is the device used to measure and reference the temperature. An individuals forehead temperature is measured with high efficiency and in real time – at different distances depending on the product version. The unit can measure up to 15 people simultaneously; this makes the solution equally suitable for low to high traffic areas. Measurements are reliable even when wearing a mask and result messages can be supported by an integrated alarm management. WISKA only displays, does not store or process the data generated - all legal requirements are met.

"The safety requirements have increased across all areas – that is why we are now thinking of new applications for our products. In particular, video surveillance offers unexpected possibilities, from body temperature measurement to fully automated mask recognition to access control in high traffic areas, there are hardly any limits to development - certainly also for the maritime industry. And best of all: These solutions can be seamlessly integrated into our existing CCTV networks," explains Rico Feldmann, Director Business Unit CCTV at WISKA. With their digital video systems, WISKA offers internationally certified solutions for a wide range of applications, from outdoor to indoor, night vision and explosion protection to searchlight combinations.

New junction boxes from WISKA

20.05.2020

With two new junction boxes, WISKA is expanding its COMBI range and strengthening its position in the plastic junction box sector.

With the COMBI 304 junction box, WISKA is not only introducing a new size box within its popular COMBI® series, but also a new design: The COMBI 304 is the first circular COMBI box with a diameter of 82 mm, 57 mm high and, especially in its standard colour black, is also ideally suited for use in architectural and retro design projects. The rotary switch version of the 304 perfectly rounds off the design aspiration of the 304 enclosure. The 304 offers 4 M20 threaded membrane entries, which can be used with the cable directly entered through the membrane (IP66) or via WISKA cable gland (IP67), with their conduit fittings (BraceFITTING) or rigid conduit fittings (KRASM). The flat lid of the new box can be closed as a bayonet cap with only a quarter turn; two external mounting lugs with a distance of 90 mm allow for convenient installation.

In addition to the 304, the new and largest WISKA COMBI box 1610 (200x160x94 mm) also expands the range - and is available as a high-quality junction box with cable diameters up to 16 mm² for electrical installation, automation and industry, e.g. also for CCTV and Wifi interfaces and repeaters. With its high protection class IP66/67 and the high-quality plastic injection moulding, the box is UV and ozone resistant like all of its series and therefore ideally suited for indoor and outdoor use. Cable entry with the 1610 is via up to 30 knockout entries from M20 to M40; options such as a clear cover or closed sides are available. Full information on wiska.com.

100 years – One team: Big celebration on WISKA centenary

10.10.2019

WISKA, the German supplier for industry, trade and shipbuilding, is celebrating its 100th anniversary. On this occasion, over 500 national and international guests from 35 countries, comprising partners, representatives from the world of politics, economy, the press as well as employees came to Hamburg´s Fischauktionshalle.

Like the entire anniversary year, the evening was held under the motto “100 Years - One Team”, placing the focus of attention on those who have made the company successful: its customers, partners and employees.

‘I am delighted that so many guests have come to celebrate our centenary together with us in our founding city of Hamburg. On this evening we would like to thank all our business customers, partners, and current and former employees. We have achieved a lot together and stuck together through thick and thin. That has made our bonds strong. We are proud of these good relationships. You appreciate them when everything goes smoothly – and even more when a problem arises.’, said Ronald Hoppmann, who is the third generation of the family to run the company together with his sister Tanja Hoppmann. And also some of Hamburg´s celebrities and guests from industry´s associations took the chance to congratulate the company, among them, Michael Ziesemer, President of ZVEI German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers´ Association, Bernd Aufderheide, President and CEO of Hamburg Messe + Congress GmbH, Marcell Jansen, President of the Hamburger SV, and Ian Karan, Hamburg Entrepreneur and former senator for economic affairs. Karan was, together with the Schotstek foundation, donation partners for WISKA, to allow for investments into the next generations rather than gifts to the company. The Karan foundation emphasizes on language training for migrant children. “We are very proud, that with our guests of only this evening, we managed to collect over 20 thousand Euro for both foundations.”, Tanja Hoppmann added.

In keeping with the team spirit, there was a special highlight for the guests: puppets up to five metres tall comprising a net of fibres and light, which were brought to life by the puppeteer ensemble “Dundu”, walked through the hall and interacted with the guests. Each puppet requires five puppeteers to move it. This symbolises the fact that individuals are always a part of a whole.

Even the site itself, the Hamburg Fischauktionshalle, is a very meaningful location for WISKA: with a direct view on the Blohm+Voss shipyard. The shipyard in which the founder of the company Wilhelm Hoppmann worked as a designing engineer before he set up his own business with his friend Hermann Mulsow in 1919. The two founded a special factory in Hamburg producing ship installation material made of brass. At that time, most probably neither of them suspected that 100 years later WISKA would be an internationally successful company with a total of six subsidiaries worldwide.

Investment in the future: WISKA builds new company headquarters outside Hamburg, Germany, on 36,500 square metres

03.09.2019

Kaltenkirchen, 2. September 2019 – Project partners, representatives from the town of Kaltenkirchen, mayor Hanno Krause and WISKA General Manager Ronald Hoppmann all took part in the symbolic groundbreaking ceremony to mark the start of the construction work for the company’s new headquarters in Kaltenkirchen, 30 km north of Hamburg. The first phase of construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2020.

‘With this new building, we are laying a foundation stone for the future, further development and long-term growth. I am particularly pleased that we can celebrate this special milestone in the year of our 100th anniversary’, says Ronald Hoppmann, who is the third generation of his family to manage the company along with his sister Tanja Hoppmann.

The 36,500 sq. m space will comprise of state-of-the-art logistics and production areas, office space and quality control areas. The first construction phase will focus largely on the building of the logistics and production facilities, which are to commence operation as early as 2021 and will enable WISKA to expand its capacity in this area by 50 per cent.

‘It is good for Kaltenkirchen and the region that the family-run company WISKA continues to invest in the future even after 50 years in this location. With this 36,500 sq. m plot they have found the right place for expanding their production and logistics facilities. The example of WISKA shows how important it is for the town to provide commercial land’, says Hanno Krause, mayor of Kaltenkirchen.

The new building has been planned and designed to ensure optimal material flows. It impresses with a significantly higher level of automation and digitalisation, both in logistics and in manufacturing. This will enable WISKA to establish completely new processes and considerably increase the level of service they offer to their customers.

‘By integrating cutting-edge software solutions into the warehouse and production areas and with the help of automated processes, we will be able to manufacture and ship individual customer orders on the same day. This underpins our claim of guaranteeing our customers constant high availability of our products across our entire product range. We will be able to be a lot more transparent about the shipping status of our goods, similar to what you see in the e-commerce segment. When you look at it in this way, we are constructing this building very much with the interests of our customers in mind’, explains Björn Heyna, Supply Chain Management and project manager for the new building at WISKA.

The building has been designed to ensure it can be further developed over the next 30 years. The overall concept will ensure that the separate WISKA sites of today, which are two km apart as the crow flies, can be merged together to form one German headquarters in the new location. This will be implemented over the course of further construction phases in the coming years.

‘With this new building, WISKA will be absolutely future-proof. The concept provides sufficient scope for us to develop in line with the market at a later date and adapt time and again whenever the framework conditions change. The building “breathes” with customer needs, regardless of whether this means that an even broader product portfolio, larger batch sizes or processes that integrate business partners are required. Overall, we will be quicker, more flexible and able to offer even more quality’, says Heyna.

100 years of WISKA: from a specialist factory to a multi-solutions supplier

01.04.2019

Kaltenkirchen, 02. May 2019 - The German supplier for shipbuilding, industry and trade is celebrating its 100th anniversary

In 1919, an engineer at the shipyard Blohm+Voss and his friend set up their own business: a specialist factory for the production of ship installation materials made of brass in Hamburg: Hoppmann & Mulsow. In a conversation between the two founders Wilhelm Hoppmann and Hermann Mulsow, the idea of the name WISKA is born – as an abbreviation of the German “wasserdichte isolierstoffgekapselte Kabelarmaturen” (waterproof insulated cable fittings), becoming the company name from then on. This year, the family-run business celebrates its 100th anniversary.

‘Throughout the WISKA history, we have walked new paths and been a benchmark for individual solutions. Starting with the founders, who laid the foundation for our approach with the idea of manufacturing products to meet the extreme demands at sea – right up until the present day’, says the grandson of company founder Ronald Hoppmann, who is now the third generation of the family to run the business alongside his sister Tanja Hoppmann.

In 1919, the founders of WISKA saw an opportunity to manufacture cost-efficiently switches, sockets and junction boxes made of robust brass in series production which met the requirements of the merchant ship standards committee (HNA) that was founded two years earlier.

Today, the family-run company employs 210 people in Germany and 50 in international subsidiaries. At the headquarters outside Hamburg WISKA develops searchlights, floodlights, reefer container sockets and CCTV video surveillance systems in addition to a wide variety of installation materials that are used worldwide. The material of choice is increasingly plastic. In WISKA’s own production facility, thirty injection moulding machines work in several shifts, ten of which use the two-component injection moulding process.

In order to deliver the highest quality, WISKA controls the entire supply chain itself, from development to delivery, everything is in one hand. "In order to continue to offer high-quality products "Made in Germany" in the future, we want to invest in our Kaltenkirchen location, expand production and internationally strengthen our sales structure and our subsidiaries," says Ronald Hoppmann.

100 years of WISKA: A centenary with product highlights and party

25.03.2019

Kaltenkirchen, 25 March 2019 – "100 years - One team" is the centenary motto for the industry, trade and shipbuilding supplier WISKA. The family company from Kaltenkirchen near Hamburg, Germany, celebrates its centenary this year. A highlight of the year long festivities will be the trade fair in Hanover.

"In sports, a good team is what really counts. Moreover, with good people, work is even more fun. This is what we take as an example in our centenary year and invite our business partners to celebrate together with us "100 years - one team" on our exhibition stand in Hanover”, says Ronald Hoppmann, 3rd generation General Manager of WISKA, together with his sister Tanja.

Visitors are welcome to explore their current product range, for example, the SPRINT® cable gland system (Pic. 1), that due to its modular design fits to almost any cable type and application. From standard to bend protection over external strain relief and explosion-proof to applications in extreme weather conditions, SPRINT® offers any solution.

In addition to cable entries, cable glands and junction boxes, WISKA will also be presenting the Brace® system (Pic. 2) for cable protection. The BraceFITTING, the centerpiece of the system, has a 360 degree closing mechanism for simple installation. The system further comprises of both metal and non-metal fittings, conduits and sleeve types.

And because it is not every year you turn 100, the Hannover Messe is the perfect place to celebrate this special occasion. On 2 April, from 6 p. m., the stand will become a party area and guests of the exhibition are kindly invited to become part of the team celebration. Ronald Hoppmann gives another good piece of advice for everyone who wants to come along. "Bring plenty of energy for dancing – our live band and DJ will give their all."

Fresh wind in the areas of video surveillance, lighting and installation material

27.09.2018

At WindEnergy, the international wind energy trade fair in Hamburg, the supplier for industry, trade and shipbuilding WISKA® presents its new products in the fields of CCTV video surveillance, lighting and cable entry.

The video surveillance range has been extended: WISKA® showcases a new Plastic PTZ IP Dome Camera D100 (pic. 1) for offshore applications at WindEnergy. Also, the camera range has been extended with explosion-proof and nightvision products. This also helps to increase safety and security.

When it comes to lighting, the LED Floodlight 5000 is undoubtedly one of their major highlights (pic. 2). It is ideally suited for applications under extreme weather conditions, as it is heat- conductive and corrosion-free due to its special modular design of high-quality plastic modules and stainless steel housing. To meet different lighting requirements, the floodlights is now also available with “narrow” and “wide beam” lens types.

At the WindEnergy WISKA® is solidifying its position as a full-range supplier in the field of cable entries and presents the cable protection system Brace® (pic. 3). The heart of the system is the BraceFITTING. The fastening section of the BraceFITTING is designed in such a way that it directly grips into the conduit and can be opened and closed again using a standard tool in just a few seconds. Part of the system are also non-metallic conduits and the metallic range of fittings and conduits. The range is rounded off by braided and woven sleeves for comprehensive protection.

The innovative cable entry system CONMAXX (pic. 4) consists of three components: Frame, grid inserts and conical sealing elements. The three components can be compiled individually according to requirement and application. This way, the entry system can be assembled from the inside out. Together with the WISKA® typical junction boxes, they cover the majority of electrical installation on board and are also presented at SMM.
