Michael Schweers informs himself about the challenges in police work

Digitalization, Artifical Intelligence and technical Innovations – the main topics of the 25th European Congress of Police organized by the German professional journal “Behörden Spiegel” which took place on 11 and 12 May 2022 in Berlin. These topics are also the main focus of PanStreet/Schweers group offering software solutions for parking enforcement for many cities and municipalities in Germany as well as worldwide.

The company’s customers highly appreciate its focus on future trends not only have in mind the current requirements and challenges. Upon invitation of the company Zebra, the company owner and Managing Director of the PanStreet/Schweers group Michael Schweers took part in the European Congress of Police as a strong partner of selling Zebra mobile devices for recording violations in stationary traffic and General Offences to its customers. At the Congress, Zebra presented the App “Politess Go” of the PanStreet/Schweers group. For Michael Schweers, the professional presentations held at the Congress and the professional discussions were a clear indicator that it is a great competitive advantage that PanStreet/Schweers group had already focused on digitalization at an early stage, In doing so, it addresses the needs of local authorities and security agencies in a very successful way and makes their work much easier. Furthermore, PanStreet/Schweers group gives priority to Artificial Intelligence in order to enable police authorities and local authorities to make use of their valuable working time in the most efficient way. „At the European Congress of Police it became evident that smart and intelligent digital solutions are the decisive factor for implementing an efficient law enforcement and for achieving a higher security level”, emphasized Michael Schweers.

The Areal Böhler owned by the company voestalpine in Meerbusch-Büderich is an industrial park for fairs, exhibitions and other events with a clear focus on the promotion of innovative business ideas. The location offers excellent conditions for start-ups to present themselves and, thus, achieving a value added for their companies. The Areal Böhler is open to new technologies as well as ecological and sustainable business approaches.

For a company giving priority to innovation, sustainability and technological progress like the company Schweers/PanStreet in Meerbusch-Osterath the importance of the long-standing co-operation with the Areal Böhler is not to be underestimated. Being on the pulse of time, Schweers/PanStreet has just started a pilot project in the field of innovative mobility technologies with the company EasyMile at the Areal Böhler. An autonomous electric bus of the company EasyMile is now driving at the site of the industrial park and offers a shuttle service between the exhibition halls for visitors.

On 19 April 2022 the Minster for Finance and Environment of the German federal state of North-Rhine-Westphalia Lutz Lienenkämper visited the Areal Böhler. The pilot project attracted his great interest, because it fits very well with the ideas of the federal government of North-Rhine-Westphalia giving technological progress, the promotion of the power of innovation of the enterprises in North-Rhine-Westphalia and sustainability highest priority on its political agenda. Lutz Lienenkämper did not miss the opportunity to drive with the electric autonomous bus. It was a very pleasant driving experience for him. "Based on the biography of Minister Lienenkämper, who has already been Minister of Transport in North Rhine-Westphalia, I am particularly pleased that he is very familiar with the field of innovative mobility technologies. We succeeded very well in demonstrating to Lutz Lienenkämper the synergy effects of the co-operation between Schweers and the Areal Böhler," emphasized Michael Schweers, Owner and Managing Director of Schweers/PanStreet.

As current Minister of the Environment and former Minister of Transport, Lutz Lienenkämper also noticed the green background of the electrically powered buses very positively. The minister also stressed how important it is to think about the future already today. The Level 4 operation planned for the end of the year is the first project of this kind in Germany.

Intertraffic 2022 – Schweers Group's Optimistic View into the Future

Very Successful despite Pandemic: PanStreet International/Schweers Group Attracts the Attention of Fair Visitors

The scenario was not different from the situation before the pandemic – the fair visitors did not wear any masks, there were no strict safety rules, people greeted each other with handshake. Quite a few visitors from abroad were probably astonished in view of the situation at the Intertraffic 2022 in Amsterdam. In 2020, the Intertraffic was cancelled due to Covid-19 and the whole world was in a depressed mood. Now, we had exactly the opposite situation at the Intertraffic 2022 which took place from 29 March to 1 April. The returned enthusiasm of the exhibitors and visitors was clearly noticeable. 50 years Intertraffic – this anniversary contributed in particular to the optimism at the world’s leading trade fair dealing with the full range of products and services in the mobility sector.

The company PanStreet Int’l/Schweers Group stands especially for this optimism. It is due to the strong team spirit and motivation that the Schweers group mastered the pandemic successfully. The PanStreet Int’l/Schweers team was in the position to convince the fair visitors of the fact that it continues to be extraordinarily ambitious to provide state-of-the-art digital solutions as well as to guarantee innovative and sustainable product development.

January 2022 - Helping Hands in Parking enforcement

Helping Hand

How did this enforcement device get home safely?

Saturday morning and it's cold and snowing in Ottawa. A worried municipal customer calls to explain an officer has lost their enforcement device somewhere in the field. Can we help? Minutes later, while in NJ, we locate the handheld and send screen shots of the location to the concerned officer hundreds of miles away.

The real heroes of everyday life are not primarily prominent people, but rather those people who show a civic commitment that is not to be underestimated for our coexistence and who do not make much fuss about it.

Such a modest person is the 63-year-old Stephan Meiser from Langenfeld, North-Rhine Westphalia, who can be called a true "peace ambassador" because of his forty years of commitment to international understanding and exchange. For this reason, the German Federal President has now awarded him the Cross of Merit on Ribbon of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany. This will be awarded to him on November 18 by the Mayor of Langenfeld.
