We live digitalization. For we want to get things moving, help our customers move forward and actively shape the future of our company. What began in analog form in 1913 continues into the digital world today without missing a beat: our aspiration to be an innovation leader. From products for aerospace projects and optical systems that help restore people's sight, to the heartbeat of digitalization in the semiconductor industry - Schunk is involved in many fields where the future is dawning with digital products, services and expertise. The goal of our digital experts is to directly enable and accelerate the digital transformation of Schunk. Together with our business units, we develop digital solutions and drive innovations that offer added value to our customers and our Group.

Digital process optimization

Business conditions and markets are developing more dynamically than ever before. The ability to react and adapt quickly is thus becoming a decisive success factor – also for us. We are therefore continuously improving our processes and operations with the help of digitalization and the use of data analytics and artificial intelligence in order to meet our own standards and those of our customers.

We focus on the challenges of our customers and develop solutions with added value based on agile methods.

Digital business models

New intelligent systems and machines open up completely new possibilities for expanding existing business models or creating entirely new ones. In cooperation with our business units, our digital experts develop attractive, future-oriented and practicable digital business models that benefit both our customers and the Schunk Group. The possibilities are as individual as the needs of our customers, ranging, for example, from financing new machines through digital platforms to performance-based incentivization by increased machine productivity due to predictive maintenance. This is what we mean by digital innovation that has an impact and generates added value.
