  "account": "In the development hall of Trumpf in Ditzingen, Germany, the revolution in robotics begins not with a spectacularly designed robot. Instead, it starts when machines stop following predetermined movements and begin to make decisions on their own. It's worth noting that robotics is not the core focus of this family-owned business, which is primarily specialized in laser technology applications, ranging from sheet metal processing to chip manufacturing. However, at the heart of Trumpf's DNA is the constant need to stay ahead of emerging technologies, maintaining close ties with research and academia. The company's secret to success lies in making new technologies industrially viable. In Ditzingen, this ultimately means making robots smarter. They aim to complement sheet metal machining machines with an intelligent system, thereby gaining a competitive edge. The Chinese competition is already posing a challenge to the long-standing world market leader. The Handelsblatt has secured exclusive insights into Trumpf's sensitive area through the series \"Future Makers.\"",
  "summary": "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.",
