Dear Readers,
Flexibility and speed are no longer just nice-to-haves. They are essential for maintaining stable and competitive production in the face of changing requirements. That’s exactly what we want to help you achieve: with technologies that simplify your processes and open up new avenues for automation.
What we develop must make a difference in everyday life. To that end, we listen carefully to what matters to you, consistently develop applications around your needs, and apply our experience where it delivers the greatest benefit. Whether in new growth areas, demanding industries, or in the further development of proven processes: innovation must make a measurable difference – in terms of time savings, quality, availability, and productivity.
The stories from our customers in this issue show just how well this can work. Steinhart demonstrates how an end-to-end system can make product variety manageable and take production to a new level through automation. Our collaboration with BMO demonstrates how trust, courage, and curiosity have fostered a partnership over many years, giving rise to sustainable standards and solutions.
Examples like these reinforce our commitment. After all, progress rarely happens in isolation. It emerges through close dialog with you, our customers, through strong networks, and through a willingness to put new technologies into practice responsibly. Artificial intelligence, automation, and digitalization offer significant opportunities in this regard. They take the burden off people, simplify processes, and create space for what really matters.
At SCHUNK, we are passionate about developing innovations that work today and continue to move us forward tomorrow.
Hand in hand for tomorrow.
Kristina I. Schunk,
CEO | Chairwoman of the Management Board
