Top 100 innovation competition
Lenze honored as innovation champion
Lenze has convinced the jury of the Top 100 innovation competition and can now call itself a Top 100 Innovator. The automation specialist won in the categories "Innovative Processes and Organization" and "External Orientation/Open Innovation".
All over the world, machine manufacturers are looking for ways and means to speed up the development cycles of their machines, reduce production costs and at the same time increase their flexibility, availability and transparency. Machine operators are keen to make machine maintenance easier to plan and operation as intuitive as possible. There is also no way around the Internet of Things. This increases the complexity of automation, which Lenze wants to make manageable with its range of hardware, software and "brainware", i.e. its own experts. The automation specialist from Hamelin announced that digital innovations, on which Lenze is also strategically focused, are essential here, which was one of the decisive factors for receiving the Top 100 Innovator seal.
Paving the way for digital transformation
CEO Christian Wendler says: "A unique selling point and an important competitive advantage for us is that the Lenze Group has a strategic focus on digital innovation. For us, thought leadership means shaping digital transformation from within and not by means of disruptive incubators that are detached from the core of the company." In 2018, the company pooled its expertise in this area in the new "Lenze Digital" business unit. In the Dock One innovation lab in Bremen, an interdisciplinary team of IT specialists is working on digitalization ideas for the smart factory using artificial intelligence. as
