The company will design and manufacture three automated production cells equipped with laser processing machines for metal components manufacturer Gestamp.
Jenoptik Diode Lab
Jenoptik’s Light & Production division (Jena, Germany) has won a major order from the automotive industry: the company will design and manufacture three automated production cells equipped with laser processing machines for metal components manufacturer Gestamp (Madrid, Spain).
Jenoptik will be responsible for the design, manufacture, and integration of the completely automated production cells, which will each also be equipped with the company's laser processing machines. With the help of the production cells, complex car body parts for electric vehicles will be manufactured at one of the Gestamp plants in Germany.
With its range of laser processing technologies, the Jenoptik Light & Production division has developed into a key supplier in the global automotive market in recent years. This division offers complex integrated manufacturing solutions with a focus on machine and process automation, and specializes in laser machining processes and the integration of other machining technologies.
Integrated production lines and laser processing in the automotive industry are independent of the type of drive and are key process steps in the manufacture of vehicles with new drive technologies. In addition to the processes for bodywork processing (laser cutting, laser welding), the production technologies are also required for new applications in automotive engineering, such as e-mobility, interiors, and driver assistance systems.
Jenoptik Driver Review
Following the acquisition of the automation specialist Prodomax in North America in mid-2018and successful joint developments of technical solutions together with the Laser Processing business unit, Jenoptik had already received several major orders for automated assembly lines from the North American automotive industry last year. Since January 2020, the Spanish company INTEROB, which also specializes in automation solutions, has been part of the Jenoptik Group. This means that Jenoptik has a direct presence in the global hotspots of the automotive industry and can now better serve the European market.

SPECS is an average speed measuring speed camera system introduced in 1999.[1][2] It is one of the systems used for speed limit enforcement in the United Kingdom.
SPECS was originally manufactured by Speed Check Services Limited, from which it takes its name. The company was acquired by Vysionics in 2010,[3] which in turn was acquired by Jenoptik in 2014.[4]
About SPECS cameras[edit]
SPECS cameras operate as sets of two or more cameras installed along a fixed route that can be from 75 metres (246 feet). Maximum distance was 10km with SPECS1 (SVDD) but with the event of SPECS3 became unlimited although legal requirements limit the maximum practical distance.[citation needed] They work by using an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) system to record a vehicle's front number plate at each fixed camera site. As the distance is known between these sites, the average speed can be calculated by dividing this by the time taken to travel between two points.[5] The cameras use infrared photography, allowing them to operate both day and night.
There is a popular misconception that the Home Office has approved the SPECS system for single-lane use only. The cameras can only operate in pairs, where each pair only monitors one lane of a multi lane road.[6] So in theory, one can escape detection by changing lanes between the entry and exit cameras.[6] In reality, two or more sets of pairs of cameras are arranged to have overlapping areas of monitoring;[6] since the driver cannot tell which cameras are 'entry' and which are 'exit', as they look identical, they cannot tell where to change lane to escape detection. With the introduction of SPECS3-Vector cameras were able to monitor more than one lane including traffic going in different directions as long as the orientation of a pair of cameras is the same.
The system has another deficiency in that since the cameras only read the front number plate of a vehicle, speeding motorcycles escape detection because they have no front number plate to read. This issue went away with the introduction of SPECS3 which can be set up to be forward facing as well as rear facing allowing motorcyclists to be caught. A prime example of a site setup for this is the A537 Cat-and-Fiddle site.[7]
The cameras are often painted yellow and have been given the nickname 'yellow vultures'.[8]
Incidents[edit]
In February 2007 a letter bomb exploded at the accountants of Speed Check Services Limited in what was believed to be an attack on organisations related to DNA testing and road transport.[9]
Similar systems in other countries[edit]
Similar systems are being used in other countries:
- Trajectcontrole (The Netherlands, first country to use 'fixed average speed check')
- Odcinkowy pomiar prędkości (Poland)
- Section Control (Austria)
- Tutor or Safety Tutor (Italy)
- Safe-T-Cam (Australia)
- Trajectcontrole/Radar tronçon (Belgium)

SPECS is a speed enforcement system, which uses linked Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras to monitor the average speed of traffic over a section of road, or network of roads. It has been used in the UK to control speeds on routes with a collision history and at major roadworks since achieving UK Home Office Type Approved (HOTA) in 1999.
