Heidelberg has set up a dedicated business unit for the industrial development, manufacture, and sale of printed and organic electronics. The company has also started production at its Wiesloch-Walldorf site, investing some five\u00a0million euros in a complete production line for printed sensors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\nA hand-held reader can dynamically record masticatory pressure distribution thanks to innovative printed sensors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Sensors developed at InnovationLab (iL) in Heidelberg for use in dental technology are set to be printed first. These innovative printed sensors make it possible, for the first time ever, to digitally record the distribution of masticatory pressure during occlusion, that is to say when the upper and lower jaws come together. 3D\u00a0visualization on a tablet and data archiving enable malocclusions to be identified and subsequently corrected. Looking further ahead, Heidelberg is to use state-of-the-art printing technology at its high-tech campus to produce sensors for other digital applications, in particular in healthcare and logistics, and also in the retail and automotive sectors. \u201cAs we see it, our involvement in this production of high-tech sensors opens up the potential for growth in the two – to three-digit million euro range\u201d, said Heidelberg CEO Rainer Hundsd\u00f6rfer.<\/p>\n
The future industrial printing of organic electronics and the associated software\/\u2028hardware development represent a first for the German mechanical engineering company and will take digitization forward in leaps and bounds. The new sensor printing technology makes Germany\u2019s high-tech industry a world leader in this area of development. In operational terms, its introduction offers Heidelberg a whole host of development opportunities, printing sensors mile after mile on an industrial scale in a cleanroom environment.<\/p>\n
Opportunities for a variety of new Industry\u00a04.0 digital business models \n<\/strong><\/p>\nHeidelberg is starting production of printed and organic electronics at the company\u2019s Wiesloch-Walldorf site<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Innovative printed and organic electronics technology produces sensors based on conductive inks and functional materials. Integrated into wireless sensor nodes (sensors and their communication nodes), they are a cornerstone of applications in the areas of Industry\u00a04.0 and the Internet of Things. The new printing technology will ultimately expand existing digital business models and above all trigger the development of new, smart products. A high level of demand already exists \u2013 in particular in healthcare and logistics, and also in the retail, automotive, and consumer electronics sectors, portable technologies, and building automation. \nPrinted and organic electronics \u2013 also often referred to as green electronics \u2013 offers numerous benefits for consumers. The energy-efficient production process, resource-conserving use of materials, and industrial series production also ensure consistent quality in large volumes at relatively low cost \u2013 key prerequisites for international competitiveness. Looking to secure a leading position in the digital future, Heidelberg is throwing open the door into the new world of digital technology and moving into completely new areas of business.<\/p>\n
High market potential \n<\/strong><\/p>\nHeidelberg is investing in the production of printed and organic electronics, which offers billion euro market potential<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The current success is the result of years of fundamental research by scientists from Germany and other countries at InnovationLab GmbH in Heidelberg. iL and Heidelberg have set an ambitious goal for their cooperation. Together, they are looking to play a leading global role in printed electronics. Innovative products are providing both companies with new markets and opportunities for establishing partnerships in all kinds of industries. Experts predict huge economic potential for printed sensors, forecasting sales of up to a billion euros over the next ten years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
