Smart Production

Flexible production systems

Increasing customization and decreasing batch sizes are forcing manufacturers to make their production systems more flexible.

Actuator-sensor components made of functional materials can replace or supplement conventional components here. Thanks to maximum miniaturization combined with a growing range of functions, they can be placed directly at the interface between the workpiece and the tool, thus enabling direct intervention options in the interface design.
