The Motecs GmbH and DL®ETB

Motecs GmbH distributes 3CX phone systems for hotels, municipalities, for medium-sized companies and for associations. Motecs is a Platinum Partner of 3CX and delivers state-of-the-art technology at a fair price.

In March 2022, Motecs GmbH and Draeger Lienert GmbH & Co. KG (DL®) have now concluded a cooperation agreement.

The inclusive telephone exchange from DL (DL®ETB - electronic telephone book) has been used since 2005 in federal and state authorities, as well as by local authorities and industrial companies. The system is in use at:

The system is used jointly by blind and sighted people. At the University Hospital in Tübingen, for example, one blind user and 10 sighted people work with the system.

The user interface of DL®ETB has been built in such a way that blind people can access even huge data sets at lightning speed. This advantage is also used by sighted people as well as people with motor impairments. IT managers repeatedly emphasize the system's versatility. "We save costs and do something good," is how their statements can be summed up.

The Motecs GmbH offers its customers now the possibility an inclusive switching place to use. Through this, the customers of Motecs GmbH can also employ people with assistive needs.

The cooperation with DL goes beyond pure sales. The two companies combine their know-how and further develop the technology.

"For us, the cooperation with Motecs GmbH is a very gratifying and further step in the direction of positioning inclusive specialist applications on the general market" says Hansjörg Lienert, Managing Director of DL® and himself blind. "Wherever DL®ETB is installed, visually impaired and blind people can be employed without the need for recurring and expensive adjustments.

Warm regards,
Alex Mara (Dipl. Ing.) and the DL® Team.


DL® youth innovation award 2022

All DL® products are based on ideas. They were either ideas from our team or ideas from customers. In some cases, ideas have also arisen from casual conversations at trade fairs.

The company Draeger Lienert GmbH & Co. KG today announces the DL® Youth Innovation Award 2022.
We ask young people to submit their ideas to us at Innovation@dlinfo.de

It is about ideas on the field of assistive technology. DL® has its focus on assistive technology for visually impaired and blind people in the professional environment. We are currently in the process of expanding our portfolio. It would be great if young people could give us ideas for assistive technology, e.g. for the hearing impaired, for people with motor impairments and possibly also for people with cognitive impairments.

A motor restriction is present, for example, when someone has difficulty moving their fingers and typing on a keyboard is difficult or not possible at all. A cognitive restriction is present, for example, if a person has been massively stressed after a stroke of fate and has reached his or her professional limits. Then a temporary stress syndrome would possibly be present.

Wouldn't that be great if there were tools to help in the cases mentioned?
The ideas should therefore relate to the areas of seeing, hearing, feeling, moving and thinking.

DL®is a manufacturer of software and hardware specifically for the professional sector. However, the DL® Youth Innovation Award is not limited to this area. All ideas that could benefit people with any kind of limitation are welcome!
We accept anything from a pure idea, to the pre-design of a product, to the finished product that we think is cool. The idea must also have the potential to leave the realm of fantasy and become a real product. It can be a device, a software, an app or something clever that doesn't exist yet.

Who is young?
You are either under 19 years old or you are over 19 and still in education. However, the 38-year-old student in the 39th semester of business administration is not accepted, or he or she would have to argue very well. :-)

How does the jury look?
The jury is made up of the DL team, and we add some smart people from the scene. Everything is subjective! :-)

What are the rewards?

The first price is 500,00 Euro.
The second price is 501,00 Euro.
The third price 499,00 Euro.

We are looking for people who think a little out of the box.

Mail your proposals during the months of April, May and June to
Innovation@dlinfo.de

From the beginning of July, we will announce via our newsletter which idea has won which prize.
The winners will then contact us to harvest their prizes.
If you don't have our newsletter yet, you can order it here:

The legal process is excluded.

Forward this mail to pupils, students, parents and all people who might want to spread the word about the Innovation Award.

XTab Improvements for MS Teams

MS Teams can now be operated much better with DL® XTab.

Navigation between tabs or, for example, the call functions can be conveniently accessed with DL XTab. There is no dependency on screen reader adjustments, which usually no longer work with new program versions of MS Teams.

Nomination for the state award "Employment and Integration of Severely Disabled People"

The state prize is an award for the exemplary employment and integration of severely disabled people. Since 2006, it has been awarded to private-sector companies that support more severely disabled people than the law requires.

The Social Code obliges private and public employers to employ severely disabled persons. For companies with fewer than 60 workplaces, eased provisions apply when meeting the employment quota. Numerous employers are aware of this social responsibility and link it to the economic interests of their companies. These positive examples should be brought more into the public awareness.

The award, endowed with 3,000 euros, is intended to help ensure that this special commitment is recognized and publicized. For this purpose, the company receives the cash prize and the right to publicly refer to the award for three years, for example in advertising measures.
