Industry 4.0: Communication between humans and machines
Process automation
A key element for Industry 4.0 is process automation. Automation processes reduce manual activities, which leads to an increase in both efficiency and quality. Laser-based technologies in particular offer flexible and, above all, fast benefits.
And light also plays a very important role here: A focused light or laser beam can process a wide range of materials.

Photonics meets artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence processes
See, recognize, assign – and do so as error-free as possible and in real time. The goal of many processes based on visual image recognition may sound as simple as this – whether for quality checks, evaluation of samples or the allocation or assignment of permits and rights, for example for access checks.
If artificial intelligence is added, this usually means that the speed increases or also the detection rate in the best case.
