iLARIZ - Forming Experts

The Smart Production Conference by Automotive Circle on November 29 was a significant event for iLARIZ. Our Head of Sales, Otto-Michael Lampert, showcased our innovative products and technologies, sparking great interest and lively discussions about digital transformation in automotive production.

For the second time, iLARIZ presents its continuously growing portfolio at the BlechExpo in Stuttgart. The well-attended booth demonstrates that interest in our technology remains strong and it is in line with the times. This year, iLARIZ is honored with the Best Award of the trade fair and secures the 3rd place for the static tool monitoring system Tool.Monitor in the category "Pressing and Forming Technologies". With our focus on innovation, digitalization, and process monitoring, we continue to set new standards in sheet metal forming.

Together with the trade magazines "Blechnet" and "MM Maschinenmarkt", the event organizer Schall awards the Innovation Award at Blechexpo/Schweisstec. Key criteria for the trade fair's award include innovation, user benefits, unique features of the solution, and cost-effectiveness. With its efficiency-enhancing and cost-reducing products, iLARIZ is once again among the selected winners this year, earning the 3rd place Best Award for Tool.Monitor in the category Pressing and Forming Technologies.

With the launch of Tool.Monitor, we usher in a new era of tool monitoring in sheet metal forming. This static monitoring system captures crucial parameters like temperature, humidity, and location via GPS in real-time, optimizing production planning – and it's no larger than a business card. This innovative solution enables efficient process monitoring and optimization, empowering companies to significantly enhance their sheet metal forming production processes sustainably.

The conference "More Efficiency in the Press Shop" ("Mehr Effizienz im Presswerk") at the Vogel Convention Center in Würzburg stands out as one of the highlights of our year. Under the motto "Every Part is a Good Part – Quality as the Top Priority," we showcased our measurement and control system for a truly digital press shop, demonstrating how industry rethinking is achieved with iLARIZ. This event underscores our commitment to innovation, transformation, and digital evolution in sheet metal forming, as well as our ongoing support for SMEs. With our focus on process monitoring, efficiency improvement, and CO2 reduction, we actively contribute to minimizing environmental impacts in production.

As one of five selected out of 2000 young company and startup applicants, we participated in the Pitch Night of the Digital Hub Initiative in Frankfurt, attended by 400 guests from business, politics, and media. The event, hosted by Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Dr. Robert Habeck, provided an exceptional opportunity to raise awareness about sheet metal and sheet metal forming, presenting new opportunities in the production process.

The inaugural Customer Day, a "Who's Who in Sheet Metal Forming," featured live product demos and spirited discussions. A standout moment was the participation of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hubert Waltl, former Production Director of Volkswagen and Audi AG, who expressed enthusiasm for the possibilities, particularly in process robustness. This event underscores our commitment to innovation, transformation, and process monitoring in sheet metal forming, showcasing our extensive expertise in digital evolution and efficiency enhancement.

Presenting our innovative technology at the prestigious conference at the University of Twente in Enschede, Netherlands, was more than just an honor. The discourse among leading scientists confirmed the enormous potential of the unique technology and sparked further collaborative projects with renowned universities.

At the invitation of the Digital Hub Initiative, our innovative technology was presented to a broad audience from politics, the media and business in Berlin for the first time. At the heart of the GREEN TECH FESTIVAL under the patronage of Nico Rosberg, was finding technologies that could help reduce CO2 emissions in the production process.

At the conference held at the Audi Forum Neckarsulm, the debut of our "small iLARIZ exhibition stand" immediately captured everyone's attention. Particularly, a presentation on Draw.Control and its technological uniqueness takes center stage. The groundbreaking possibilities of digital sheet metal forming generate tremendous interest and spark lively discussions.

After thorough development, the innovative products Draw.Control and Draw.Monitor, along with the mandatory Draw.Cloud environment,are market ready. By digitizing processes and reducing waste and resources, even the initial versions signify a digital revolution for forming technology.

iLARIZ makes its debut on the global stage at Blechexpo 2021 in Stuttgart. Our innovative technology not only inspires but also impresses industry experts. The response is overwhelming, and the feedback is outstanding. We are particularly proud that our product, Draw.Control, has directly achieved 2nd place in the category of punching and forming technology at the Blechexpo AWARD. This recognition underscores our expertise in digitalization, sheet metal forming, and innovation. iLARIZ actively advocates for efficiency enhancement, process monitoring, and the highest product quality to drive forward the digital evolution in sheet metal forming together with small and medium-sized enterprises.
