| At this year’s in-house INTECH exhibition, TRUMPF is presenting the “Runability Guide”, an initial version of a new AI-based solution that helps production employees run in the high-performance TruMatic 5000 punch laser machine more quickly and more easily. At present, when using the machine to produce a new order with a new geometry or from new materials, users must individually test the machine program. This results in idle machine time that can quickly add up, especially with fully automated machines that produce many different parts. With TRUMPF’s AI-supported software Runability Guide, users can avoid idle times of up to 20…

| The high-tech company TRUMPF today signed a cooperation agreement with the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS) of the University of Stuttgart. The agreement aims to provide TRUMPF employees with the extensive computing capacities of the HLRS.  “This cooperation shows that we in industrial Germany also have a powerful digital ecosystem. With the help of these mainframes, our developers can virtually simulate machine functions even before the prototype is built and train AI solutions for our systems more quickly. This allows us to innovate more sustainably and efficiently,” says Berthold Schmidt, CTO of TRUMPF. The “Hawk” supercomputer provided by HLRS has…
