Contelec innovation
Innovation Center sets standards for the future
Innovation is critical to success
Technologies tend to develop at a rapid pace. Machinery and systems have to adapt at breakneck speed to new, more stringent standards while delivering ever more accurate results. Digitalization is also changing the face of many sectors of industry. Against this backdrop, companies have to offer their customers innovative solutions for increasingly complex tasks. At the same time, there is growing demand for thrift and increasing pressure to squeeze costs. Another critical factor when it comes to success – whether viewed on a short-term or long-term basis – is speed. The rapid development of markets demands a quick reaction to new customer requirements, and this is leading to ever shorter product cycles in many sectors.
To remain competitive, companies need to innovate. No organization can afford to rest on its laurels, whether it is a component manufacturer like Contelec or one of its customers, which range from producers of construction machinery to suppliers of medical technology. It is little wonder that the capacity for innovation is a key factor when it comes to choosing a supplier.
Innovation Center for up-and-coming technologies
Contelec has always been committed to innovation, has developed new technologies such as MH-C2 for advanced rotary and linear position sensors and has transformed them into products that are highly attractive in both technical and economical terms (for example, Vert-X rotary encoders and Lin-X linear position sensors). Proprietary technologies and a highly qualified engineering team with extensive expertise have enabled Contelec to work with its customers to develop optimal solutions on attractive terms – whether with pioneering standard sensors or with specific modifications of these for individual applications.
Having established its own Innovation Center, Contelec now sets even higher standards for technology- and customer-driven innovations. Dedicated, highly talented engineers have their own, special environment, equipped with unique infrastructure, where they are able to work on innovation projects without interruption. The intensity with which they develop new technologies and the basis for new products is unprecedented. The experts are not involved in the day-to-day running of the business and so are able to concentrate fully on new developments and modifications. They have all the tools, test stations, measuring devices, 3D printers and other top-class resources they need at their disposal, enabling them to focus, unhindered, on innovation.
But the engineers at Contelec’s Innovation Center don’t live an ivory-tower existence. They are called in during the ideation phase of innovative customer projects. This helps them to stay close to the market and ensures that they are able to tailor their activities to real-world challenges. Customers, for their part, benefit from direct access to expert knowledge and innovative technologies. The result is future-proof solutions and competitive products.
Innovation made by Contelec – added value at every level.
