After 8 years the time has come - the darts sport is back in town. Now the darts club is able to train in Großpostwitz. The return of the home ground became possible because of the sponsoring of powerful partners of the region like the miunske GmbH that has always been a sponsor of the regional sportsclubs. So the new venue in the `Spreetalstadion` could be established and will be used for perspective league matches. We wish a precision landing to all darts player.

There were different types of racing-trails for everyone: from low level for armchair athletes to extreme level for extreme sportsman. The race included disciplines similar to a triathlon: running, cycling and a modified form of swimming. Depending on the level of difficulty the participants ran or rode by bike across the venue and had to pass an obstacle course through the ‘Kulturinsel Einsiedel’ to the ‘Neiße’. Here the teams absolve a dinghy race. At the end of all racing stages and the aim in focus, everyone absolved a race on gigantic ski. In this year 4 miunske teams started to win this race. Whether management or employees of different work areas- the teams were mixed and the team spirit was inter-divisional. This was also shown in the placement results: the miunske teams finished at the 4th, 5th and the 10th and 14th place at the light trail of this adventure. Congratulations!

On the faculty mechanical engineering of the TU Dresden the institute for agricultural system technologies started a project to analyze process parameters that have lasting effects on the grain loss of the crop.

Main issue of the project was to analyze the separation process of the grain by sensor technology. On the basis of the knowledge acquired therefrom optimized settings of the sieves and the blowers should derive.

Miunske supported this project as innovation partner and developed in cooperation with the TU Dresden a sensor unit bases on light transmission and hot film sensors.
