Injection molding has become a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, driven by continuous advancements in machine technology, material innovations—including multi-material molding—sensor integration, CAD/CAM systems, digital twins, and predictive maintenance solutions.

As a joint venture between Siemens and Volkswagen, inpro is a central innovation and digitalization partner for the manufacturing industry. Key topics such as robotic solutions in car body construction can be developed flexibly and in line with requirements with other partners.

We present ten selected innovation projects, some of which are still ongoing, are being further developed in follow-up projects or are on their way to becoming commercial solutions. The diversity of our projects has one thing in common: they increase automation by using state-of-the-art, standards-based technologies and are scalable.

Automation & robotics has been a key topic at inpro for many years, which we continue to develop in partnership-based innovation projects and put into practice with specific digital solutions such as ginero - multi-robot cell planning for system planners.
