Zukunftsgestalter: Trumpf auf dem Weg zum Maschinen-Menschen

In the heart of Ditzingen, Germany, at the development center of the family-owned company Trumpf, a new era in robotics is beginning to unfold. This revolution does not commence with a flashy robot, but rather in the moment machines start to make their own decisions, no longer reliant on predetermined movements.

It's important to note that while Trumpf is renowned for its precision laser technology, ranging from sheet metal processing to chip manufacturing, robotics is not a core focus. However, the company's DNA is ingrained with the desire to stay ahead of technological advancements and maintain close ties with research and academia.

The secret to Trumpf's success lies in making these new technologies industrially viable. This approach is now directed towards making robots more intelligent. These robots are intended to augment sheet metal machining machines, transforming them into an intelligent system that can provide a competitive edge.

The challenge is significant as Chinese competitors are closing in on this world market leader. In response, Trumpf has been granted exclusive insights into the sensitive area of robotics development through the series "Futurshaper".
