News › JENOPTIK • New auto­ma­tion orders in North America

These auto­ma­tion orders reflect the suc­cessful exe­cu­tion of the new stra­te­gic glo­bal sales approach in the Light & Pro­duc­tion division.

Pho­to­nics com­pany Jen­op­tik has secu­red new auto­ma­tion orders in the US and Canada in the first quar­ter of 2021 tota­ling more than 40 mil­lion USD that will help increase effi­ci­en­cies in auto­mo­tive manufacturing.

The orders from Auto­mo­tive Tier 1 key accounts con­sist of auto­ma­tion lines that shall pro­duce struc­tu­ral assem­blies for seve­ral major auto­mo­tive OEMs and include cut­ting-edge tech­no­lo­gies in wel­ding, part hand­ling and assem­bly. The engi­nee­ring and pro­duc­tion for these orders will be shared bet­ween the Bar­rie, Canada and Roches­ter Hills, Michi­gan loca­ti­ons, with deli­veries expec­ted in Q4 2021 and early Q1 2022.

These orders are the direct result of the col­la­bo­ra­tive efforts of Jenoptik’s Glo­bal Sales, Engi­nee­ring and Ope­ra­ti­ons teams which are pre­sent in the USA, Canada, Spain and Ger­many, and are an exam­ple of the per­for­mance capa­bi­li­ties of Jenoptik’s Light & Pro­duc­tion divi­sion as a stra­te­gic deve­lo­p­ment and opti­miza­tion part­ner focu­sed on machine inte­gra­tion, pro­cess auto­ma­tion and qua­lity control.

“The orders are ano­ther proof of our suc­cessful glo­bal sales approach for our auto­mo­tive and auto­ma­tion busi­ness. We help our cus­to­mers navi­gate a con­ti­nuously evol­ving pro­duc­tion land­scape through com­pre­hen­sive inte­gra­tion solu­ti­ons that help bring mul­ti­ple com­plex tech­no­lo­gies and pro­ces­ses tog­e­ther. Our core dif­fe­ren­tia­tor here is that our Light & Pro­duc­tion divi­sion brings pho­to­nics, auto­ma­tion and inte­gra­tion to the table from one source,” said Jen­op­tik Pre­si­dent & CEO Dr. Ste­fan Traeger.

About Jen­op­tik and its Light & Pro­duc­tion division

Jen­op­tik is a glo­bally ope­ra­ting tech­no­logy group, which is active in the three pho­to­nics-based divi­si­ons Light & Optics, Light & Pro­duc­tion and Light & Safety. Our key tar­get mar­kets pri­ma­rily include the semi­con­duc­tor equip­ment indus­try, medi­cal tech­no­logy, auto­mo­tive and mecha­ni­cal engi­nee­ring, traf­fic, avia­tion as well as the secu­rity and defense tech­no­logy industries.

The Light & Pro­duc­tion divi­sion of Jen­op­tik is a glo­bally active spe­cia­list in the opti­miza­tion of manu­fac­tu­ring pro­ces­ses. With our many years of expe­ri­ence and know-how in the fields of indus­trial metro­logy and opti­cal inspec­tion, modern laser-based mate­rial pro­ces­sing and highly fle­xi­ble robot-based auto­ma­tion, we deve­lop cus­to­mi­zed manu­fac­tu­ring solu­ti­ons for our cus­to­mers in the auto­mo­tive, aero­space, medi­cal tech­no­logy and other manu­fac­tu­ring indus­tries. As a firmly estab­lished key sup­plier in the glo­bal auto­mo­tive mar­ket, we face the modern chal­lenges of fle­xi­bi­lity, pro­duc­ti­vity and incre­asing vari­ant diver­sity on a daily basis, thus mee­ting the gro­wing demand for com­plex and turn­key indus­trial solu­ti­ons with a focus on machine inte­gra­tion and pro­cess auto­ma­tion. As a deve­lo­p­ment and opti­miza­tion part­ner, we jointly face our cus­to­mers‹ mar­ket-spe­ci­fic chal­lenges and, by intel­li­gently com­bi­ning our key tech­no­lo­gies, take cus­to­mer-spe­ci­fic sys­tems to a new, for­ward-loo­king level.
