In the editorial, Kristina I. Schunk, CEO of SCHUNK, writes about current developments that are shaping the industry. This issue focuses on recognizing and setting trends.
Dear Customers,
Partners and Friends,
Future trends develop rather slowly at first, but then quickly have a major influence on all levels of society. It is therefore important for our company to recognize these trends and align itself accordingly. As we embark on this process, our “MOVE” is to remain agile, courageous and visionary.
In view of the future needs and wishes of the market and our customers, we have expanded our portfolio even more in the course of this move: As a partner for complete system and application solutions, we are placing our entire experience at your disposal. Our robot application center CoLab in Hausen is a place where our experts work together with customers on the validation of applications under real conditions. CoLabs were also opened in China and the USA at the end of the year. In this way, we are making the step into automation as simple and low-risk as possible.
Listening, identifying trends, and acting as an idea generator to develop purposeful products, services, and support for our customers. We will show how SCHUNK implements this in the article Life Science. In “Life Science”, biotechnology, medical technology and pharmaceuticals are working together to create new products, innovative treatment methods and life-saving medicines for human health. SCHUNK grippers and sensors perform important key tasks here in modern, automated manufacturing processes. Find out more about the fields of application.
Look into the future with us! We hope you enjoy these articles!
Kind regards,
Kristina I. Schunk,
Chief Executive Officer
