The EZU mechatronic centric gripper from SCHUNK simplifies flexible loading and unloading of cylindrical workpieces - reliably, efficiently and with future-proof technology. The sophisticated concept also impressed the jury of the German Innovation Award 2025.

The newly founded Next Level Mittelstand GmbH offers an open concept with digitalization offerings and cooperation opportunities. In early April, SCHUNK, ebm-papst, HEITEC, and Blockbrain have joined forces to lead the successfully established network into the future. Schwarz Digits also intends to become part of the network.

With the 2D Grasping Kit, SCHUNK has developed an AI-supported solution for a simple introduction to flexible automation - practical, future-oriented and specially tailored to the needs of small and medium-sized companies. The company received the AI Champions BW 2025 award in recognition of this pioneering technology.

The Industrial Metaverse streamlines and accelerates industrial processes. By utilizing digital twins and the use of artificial intelligence, automation tasks can be digitally planned, simulated, and optimized before their physical implementation. SCHUNK is enhancing its portfolio with digital engineering to unlock new potentials and boost customer productivity.
