MIRROR SYSTEMS

Our position as the market and quality leader in the field of vision systems for all types of commercial vehicles is based on decades of experience in the development and manufacture of mirror systems, combined with our own state-of-the-art production facilities. We develop customized solutions for every challenge as well as product solutions to meet all global market requirements. Our product range includes mirror systems for vans, buses, and RVs, as well as trucks, construction machinery, agricultural vehicles, and special-purpose machinery.

We ensure comfort and safety: Our mirror systems can be electrically controlled and heated (12 and 24 volts) or folded away upon request. All our mirror systems undergo extensive testing and reliably meet both the fields of view and regulations required by law as well as current standards and industry guidelines. This applies to all application areas: main mirrors, wide-angle mirrors, ramp mirrors, and front mirrors.

As a long-standing supplier of mirror systems, we handle complex products and projects from the initial design concept through prototype development to production approval. We focus on customized and innovative solutions for specific requirements—always delivering added value to our customers. To achieve this, we utilize ergonomic analysis tools and CAD design software. Even our standard products meet legal requirements and offer optimal ergonomics, fields of view, and safety. Based on these systems, we create legally approved modifications for your vehicle.

As vision experts, we use the most advanced and effective vision analysis methods. Our systems are recognized by regulators and the industry and are based on the latest technologies. In the development of mirror-based vision systems, we use software such as CAVA for CATIA V5 and EMM-Check.

We use these tools to verify that the systems comply with legal requirements as early as the initial design phase. This ensures that even the first prototypes meet or even exceed legal requirements. We test how visibility is actually perceived by the driver in ergonomic simulations using physically accurate reflection calculations. For this, we use ray-tracing algorithms and generate photorealistic studies—even before the first prototype is built.

We plan and develop new products and associated production processes using the Production Preparation Process (3P Process). With the 3P Process, we assess product and process requirements as early as the development phase, identify problems at an early stage, eliminate their root causes, and thus ensure smooth mass production.

At MEKRA Lang, we embrace the lean philosophy, also known as lean management. The underlying principle is the pursuit of a fluid, error-free, and above all, customer-oriented process. Through a target/actual comparison using key performance indicators, targeted measures are initiated and implemented in the event of deviations. We achieve a step-by-step improvement of the overall system through precisely executed projects.
