#137 Interview on how to achieve the EU Green Deal Requirement of 25% use of recycled materials
22.08.2024 8 min Staffel 5 Episode 94
Zusammenfassung & Show Notes
Maybe more a fact than a trend. The EU Green Deal requires the plastic manufacturing industry to use 25% recycled materials, for example, in automotive parts.
This poses a huge problem because recycled materials can have a lot of deviations in their processing behavior.
In this video podcast, Arne Büttner, Sales Engineer of sensXPERT, introduced their innovative technology to manage these challenges to Ilkay Özkisaoglu, Co-Founder of Composites Lounge. At the forefront of their AI solution is an efficient and cost-efficient production.
Please get in touch with Phil and Cornelia Beyer of sensXPERT during the upcoming CAMX 2024 show. At their booth QQ34, you can drop your business card and win a free material characterization test.
In addition, Alexander Chaloupka will be holding a presentation at the ICS on September 5, 2024, at 10 a.m. on the Innovation Stage. His topic will be "Cost-Efficient and High-Quality Composite Parts with Intelligent Process Control Technology".
Finally, as this interview ends with our JEC Forum DACH 2024 outro, you may also meet with Dominik Riescher of sensXPERT.
Come alongside us and listen to the latest in process deeptech in North America, UK and the DACH Region.

So wonderful good afternoon, dear LinkedIn
community and composites
experts out there
and Composites Lounge members.
This week was a long, very busy week.
As you know, I've been to Hannover Messe.
I've been to Techtextil,
and today I'm diving deep
into a deep tech company.
I'm here together with sensXPERT
and my guest is Arne Büttner,
and I have a few questions to Arne.
After Arne, I will speak also
to Cornelia Beyer,
who is the CEO of sensXPERT
and of course to Alexander
about the solutions they are providing.
First of all, let us introduce yourself
to our community.
What is your background
and how did it come
that you are here at sensXPERT?
-I'm Arne, sales engineer
at sensXPERT since last year.
I'm from my background
in industrial engineer,
studied at the TU Kaiserslautern.
I'm now almost a decade
in the composite and plastic industry,
collecting a lot of knowledge,
collecting and seeing a lot of problems
where people struggling
with getting reliable process,
having efficient process.
And this is what finally took me here.
So we have with Arne
the technical side strongly.
And if you look at the markets, Arne,
right now.
We have been at JEC in Paris already.
Which trends
do you see in the upcoming years,
and which roles
do they play for sensXPERT.
-Maybe more a fact than a trend.
I mean, we have the EU Green Deal
where we know that the industry,
the plastic manufacturing industry
mainly in the automotive
has to use 25% of recycled materials.
And we know that with these materials,
there's a lot of deviation
in the processing behavior,
and our technology can contribute
to get manage these challenges
and still have an efficient production,
cost efficient production,
even with these more demanding materials
on the process side.
So it's just been one month
after we've come home
from JEC World, Arne. What impulses
have you taken from JEC World?
I mean, it was an exciting show for us,
had good talks,
and you see a lot of new technologies
coming there,
a lot of topics
focusing on sustainability.
And this is also a thing
where we can contribute
with our technology,
making processes more efficient,
more sustainable by saving energy.
-At JEC World,
you had a booth together
with Bayern Innovativ.
What was, Arne, some of the questions
that were discussed
and what was the main topic there?
-A lot of people ask us
about the materials we can analyze.
And especially with the carbon fibers,
people would expect
that this is a material
which is hard to analyze. But actually
this is one of our key factors
or key benefits we can offer,
because we can analyze
these composite - carbon
composite - materials
and also make
this production more efficient.
Now, what is the extraordinary value
that you are providing
the composites industry on the one hand,
and the plastics industry
on the other hand.
-I mean on the composite materials,
we often have long cycle times,
for instance, with the autoclave curing,
and we have kind of expensive materials.
And by reducing the cycle time,
optimizing the cycle time,
we can even realize a cost benefit
for our customers, which they would say
which is a big value for them.
On the plastic side,
we have shorter cycle time.
For instance for the injection molding.
And there we have coming
with the more and more recycled material
also problems with,
with plastic or material deviations.
And there we can also contribute
by measuring the curing behavior
and automatically steer the process
according to the deviations
that come from the material.
What an enticing solution then, Arne!
So let me ask you then,
who are then your typical customers
for these values?
Who are they?
Which market sectors?
Which target groups are you going after?
-There's a huge variety of industries
and customers
that can benefit from our solution.
Every customer or company
that do plastic processing
can benefit from it,
whether it's automotive,
aviation or space,
whether they do injection molding,
compression molding or,
for instance, RTM and autoclave curing.
And the main benefits is reduction
in cycle time and scrap reduction.
And with this, of course,
it's a more sustainable process
we can offer
by reducing the energy consumption.
The question now becomes, of course,
what are the latest, hottest projects
that you are
currently leading at sensXPERT?
We just established our technology to the
or install the technology
to the series manufacturing
in the aviation case.
There we observe the RTM process
make it more efficient.
But another example
is the automotive industry,
where we are installed
on an injection molding machine
to make this process also more efficient.
So at the end, our sensor technology
is about quality control
during the actual manufacturing
inside the mold for each individual cycle.
We enhance the manufacturing process
in real time. So it's a real time analysis
and also real time communication
with the machine
to optimize the cycle time.
And at the end
everything is about efficiency increase
and scrap reduction.
-Finally, as is traditional
in my LinkedIn videos, Arne.
What is your final call to action?
What should the viewer do
after they've watched this video?
Reach out to us.
So, we are there.
Me, especially as a sales engineer.
If you are struggling with your processes,
if you want to make it more efficient
sensXPERT is the right way to go.
So please reach out to us.
-So thank you, Arne,
for all these insights
from a technical standpoint,
and I'm really happy
to share this information
with our community.
And now we will have more interviews
to come up soon. Stay tuned.
