Zukunftsgestalter: Trumpf auf dem Weg zum Maschinen-Menschen

Für Trumpf reicht es nicht mehr, nur die besten Laser zu bauen. Was im Kampf gegen chinesische Konkurrenten zählt, sind Gesamtsysteme mit Robotik. Trumpf erobert das neue Feld mit KI.

Zukunftsgestalter: Trumpf auf dem Weg zum Maschinen-Menschen

In the development hall at Trumpf's plant in Ditzingen, Germany, the robotic revolution is taking shape. It's not the striking appearance of a robot that marks the beginning of this transformation, but rather the moment when machines start making their own decisions, no longer bound by predetermined movements.

Trumpf, a family-owned enterprise renowned for its laser technology applications ranging from sheet metal processing to chip manufacturing, is not typically known for its foray into robotics. However, the company's DNA lies in its constant pursuit of the latest technological advancements and its close collaboration with research and academia.

The secret to Trumpf's success lies in its ability to render advanced technologies industrially viable. In Ditzingen, the focus is on making robots more intelligent. These robots are intended to supplement sheet metal fabrication machines, creating a smart system that will provide a competitive edge. The Chinese competition is already challenging the longstanding world market leader.
