Hahnemühle Life Science makes major investment in automated, artificial-intelligence (AI) driven, thimble production - a milestone for Hahnemühle Life Science

Hahnemühle Life Science has taken a groundbreaking step by investing in a state-of-the-art core production line, that heralds a new era in core production thanks to self-sufficient, self-controlling and self-correcting robotics.

This facility represents a step forward in terms of efficiency and precision and strengthens Hahnemühle's market position in the Life Science sector and Germany as an engineering technology leader.

The new production facility is equipped with advanced technology that enables real-time monitoring, optimization and adjustment of production processes. It continuously collects and analyses data from various measurement areas to ensure that production runs smoothly and meets the highest quality standards. It is possible to react quickly to changing conditions and minimise downtime by automatically adjusting parameters.

The investment was made in view of the increasing demand for high-quality products and aims not only to meet the company's own requirements but also to meet the ever-increasing expectations of its customers.

The advantages of automated AI-driven core production:

Total safety and control: Automated sleeve manufacturing is designed to operate without employee access, providing exceptional safety and control over the manufacturing process.

Unequalled accuracy: The thimbles are manufactured with exceptional accuracy to meet the highest standards in the life science industry. AI-data based continuous improvements and optimization brings the quality and consistency on new levels.

Consistent quality: Automated production ensures consistently high quality across all batches, which is important for reliable analyses.

Increased efficiency: Automated production enables the manufacturing process to be optimised and production capacity to be increased to respond adequately to growing demand. Automated raw material feeding ensures uninterrupted production and minimises downtime.

High precision: The automated control system enables error-free production with maximum precision and minimises human influences on the manufacturing process.

Self-cleaning measures: The line has an integrated self-cleaning system that enables regular intermediate cleaning without interrupting production.

Flexibility: Thanks to a state-of-the-art control system, the machine, firmware and software can react quickly to changing requirements and product versions without long resetting times.

Data analysis: The collected data helps to gain deeper insights into the production process. This knowledge enables continuous optimisation and the development of long-term strategies.

Automatic tool change: Depending on the individual order, an automatic tool switch takes place. This ensures high flexibility and quick adaptation to different production requirements.

Sustainability: Automation enables more efficient use of resources and reduces waste significantly
