In the areas of technical progress, digitalisation and the networking of manufacturing, Hainbuch plays a leading role and this has now been recognised with the company winning an award for its Industry 4.0 innovations. Some years ago, Hainbuch took its first steps in the direction of remote access to manufacturing data by providing greater transparency by dispensing with process steps via direct output of drawings. More recently, Hainbuch has implemented two production network solutions that have been honoured by the Allianz Industry 4.0 Baden-Württemberg organisation with the award “100 locations with Industry 4.0 in Baden-Württemberg”.
State Secretary Peter Hofelich honoured the winners of the third round in the “100 Locations with Industry 4.0 in Baden-Württemberg” competition. A total of 21 companies have successfully implemented Industry 4.0 in their day-to-day work and they have received awards. Hainbuch had two solutions on hand. Not only do the implemented strategies offer significant savings to the clamping device manufacturer, but also to the customers that benefits from these solutions. State secretary Peter Hofelich says: “The third round of the competition also shows that Baden-Württemberg’s small and medium-sized businesses are getting better and better in the areas of Industry 4.0 and Digitalisation. The State Baden-Württemberg is a strong location for innovation and business. The prize should make good ideas even better known and should also motivate other companies and institutions to become active in Industry 4.0.”
Dr. Dietrich Birk, CEO of the VDMA Baden-Württemberg State Association says: “The solutions that have been introduced show that Baden-Württemberg companies are playing a key role in the context of Industry 4.0. The numerous applications confirm that our companies are driving digitalisation forward with major efforts. Machinery and engineering suppliers are the major resources for intelligent investments of innovative technology.”
The Allianz Industry 4.0 was founded by the initiative of Nils Schmid, minister of finance and economy. The objective of the Alliance is to bundle the competences of production technology, as well as communication technology and to network all essential players. This will support the small medium-sized industrial businesses with a support role that enables them to implement Industry 4.0 through innovative transfer offerings. Presiding spokesmen of the Allianz Industry 4.0 Baden-Württemberg are Dr. Manfred Wittenstein [supervisory board of wittenstein AG] and Professor Thomas Bauernhansl [Institute director of Fraunhofer IPA].
