Two customers, active in the connectivity and sensor solutions market for the distribution of power, signals, and data, as well as in the photonics market, approached Etteplan with similar requests shortly after one another. In response to market developments that presented new opportunities for them, they wanted to capitalize on the increased demand for fiber optic products. Until that point, the assembly of their products had been primarily manual, which posed a challenge in seizing these opportunities. Therefore, they aimed to optimize their production process and transition to an automated solution, seeking a reliable partner to assist them in this transition.

A leading company focused on providing connectivity and sensor solutions for the distribution of power, signals, and data approached Etteplan with a specific challenge. They had a machine that was essential to their production processes, but the manufacturer had ceased its production. Now that the machine had reached the end of its life cycle and needed to be replaced, they had to find a new supplier capable of creating an exact copy of their existing machine. It was crucial for them that the new machines could continue to produce the same products and techniques that they had been making with their old machine.

LiNA Medical, a Danish company specialized in innovative medical devices, recently collaborated with the Etteplan team in the Netherlands and Poland to optimize production at their Polish factory at Poznań. It was a fruitful partnership that yielded valuable insights.
