Schunk. \u201cAt the same time, we take up the theme, and will further expand our market position over the years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Area of growth: digitalization<\/strong><br \/>\nThe \u201cWirtschaftsWoche\u201d also reports on how this will be feasible: In the medium term, the clamping devices and gripping systems of the technology forge are to be equipped with intelligence and thus will be able to plan and monitor processes independently. SCHUNK has already standardized its first intelligent toolholder. At the same time, SCHUNK\u2019s own technology factory is designing intelligent grippers that can detect workpieces and plan the individually suitable gripping strategy by means of artificial intelligence autonomously. \u201cAnd particularly digitalization opens up entirely new possibilities in creating industrial processes,\u201d underlined Kristina I. Schunk. \u201cWe actively use this opportunity, because it safeguards jobs on the long term and strengthens the economic strength of Germany as a commercial location.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>World Market Leader Index<\/strong><br \/>\nProf. Dr. Christoph M\u00fcller, Chief Executive Officer of the UEC University Entrepreneurship Corporation gemeinn\u00fctzige GmbH,is responsible for the scientific leadership of the project.
