Shaping the Future: Trumpf on the Road to the Machine Human
For Trumpf, it's no longer enough to just build the best lasers. What counts in the fight against Chinese competitors are complete systems with robotics. Trumpf is conquering this new field with AI.
Ditzingen, a town in southern Germany, is witnessing a revolution in the field of robotics at the development hall of the family-owned company Trumpf. The innovation does not start with a spectacular robot but rather with machines starting to make their own decisions, moving away from predetermined movements.
While Trumpf is primarily known for its specialization in laser technology, ranging from sheet metal processing to chip production, robotics is not its core focus. However, the company is committed to staying ahead of the curve with the latest technological advancements. Their success lies in making cutting-edge technologies industrially viable.
In Ditzingen, the main goal is to make robots smarter, enhancing sheet metal machines into an intelligent system that can provide a competitive edge. The challenge is significant, as Chinese competitors are posing a threat to Trumpf's long-standing leadership in the global market. The German newspaper The Handelsblatt has been granted exclusive insights into the sensitive area of Trumpf's development, providing a glimpse into their groundbreaking efforts.
