How to make production competitive in the face of rising costs and a shortage of skilled workers 🤔

Night and weekend shifts, in particular, pose a challenge. Who changes the product containers? Who ensures a continuous supply of granulate? The dialogue partners in Episode 29 of “Wir sind Spritzguss.” are convinced that autonomous production is increasingly becoming a key competitive factor.

Martin Berkenkamp from Kelz Produktionstechnologie, Ulrich Bohling from GPO, and Andreas Schramm from Wittmann Battenfeld Deutschland discuss how the production of free-falling parts – for example, in the electronics industry – can be automated cost-effectively. They have joined forces with other partner companies, because economic efficiency means one thing above all: holistically optimizing the process from raw material supply to intralogistics. 🤝

The podcast episode highlights just how significant the potential savings are. You can also experience autonomous 24/7 production live at the Allgäu Technology Day 2026 on September 24 in Lengenwang.

🤝 2026 International Sales Meeting
Stronger Together: Our global sales team came together for inspiring presentations, in-depth discussions, and valuable networking.
💡 The primary focus? Innovations in the plastics industry and new ideas for the future. A true get-together full of expertise, team spirit, and ideas! ♥️

Production efficiency means production transparency. 😀

WITTMANN’s Flowcon plus water regulator provides all relevant process data – from flow rate to temperature – directly and in real time. Thanks to the easy comparison of reference and actual values, production deviations can be identified at an early stage. Issues such as calcified cooling channels can also be avoided before they even arise.

With five new injection molding production cells, Kontron eSystems has strategically expanded its manufacturing capabilities in Leipzig – including two automated IMD lines and high-performance WITTMANN machines ensuring maximum precision and process reliability. 👏 😃

The seamless interaction between injection molding technology, IMD processing, and automation creates the foundation for efficient high-volume production while offering a high degree of design flexibility.

Integrated systems, intelligent material flow, and automated handling solutions enable stable processes, consistently high surface quality, and competitive unit costs. 🚀

How can you save space, material, energy, and time in injection molding – all at the same time? That’s exactly what we’re focusing on at KUTENO 2026. ⚙️♻️

From June 9 – 11 in Bad Salzuflen, we’re showcasing how efficient production works in practice – including our FlexCell plus automation cell and an S-Max granulator for inline recycling.
