In the current SektorReport Industrials for the fourth quarter of 2024, we analyze the growing importance of high-precision automation for industrial manufacturing processes.
Modern precision machines today achieve accuracies of up to 20 nanometers – a significant advancement compared to the 100 to 200 nanometers that were considered the standard a decade ago. This development is a key driver for miniaturization in critical industries such as semiconductors, medical technology, and aerospace. In times of economic uncertainty and geopolitical tensions, automation and technological sovereignty are increasingly gaining strategic importance. Companies are increasingly relying on high-precision automation solutions to make their production more efficient, flexible, and resilient.
Automation is no longer just a matter of efficiency, but a central competitive advantage. Those who invest early in high-precision manufacturing technologies secure market shares in a technology-driven environment. In addition to global corporations, medium-sized companies particularly benefit by strengthening their competitive position with innovative solutions.
A representative example is Nanosystec GmbH, whose high-precision manufacturing systems enable crucial process optimizations in the nanometer range. Their technologies are widely used in forward-looking industries such as telecommunications, medical technology, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and the automotive industry.
The continued success of Nanosystec – Made in Germany – highlights the growing relevance of automated high-precision solutions as enablers of innovations and technological breakthroughs in nearly all key industries.
