Europe Can’t Win the Manufacturing Race With Labour Alone, But We Can Win With Intelligence.

At EMO Hannover 2025, I had the pleasure of meeting with an innovative team in the Startup Area, Innoclamp GmbH, founded by Roman Kalocsay, formerly a scientist at Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT in Aachen. Their mission is ambitious and urgently needed: 👉 Make automation affordable for every CNC shop, enabling true reshoring across Europe. During our interview, Roman explained how their modular, automated clamping technology removes one of the biggest obstacles in machining cells: Robots can load parts. Machines can cut parts. But fixtures haven’t been flexible or automated… until now. What makes Innoclamp so powerful? 🔹 Modular, reconfigurable clamps that any CNC programmer can set up 🔹 Air-powered micro-hydraulic system generating 200 bar for automated clamping 🔹 Reusable fixture elements that drastically reduce cost 🔹 Support structures that increase rigidity, reducing chatter risk due to workpiece flexibility and improving surface finish 🔹 A true enabler for low-cost, high-mix, automated production This aligns perfectly with the capabilities of SenseNC from Productive Machines: 🔹 We stabilise machining parameters with physics-aware AI considering machine tool dynamcics 🔹 Innoclamp makes the workpieces more rigid to mitigate effect of workpiece on chatter and removes a manual bottleneck in CNC automation A special thank you to Dr. Gregor Kappmeyer from Rolls-Royce for pointing me towards Innoclamp,excellent recommendation. As Roman said: “When clamping becomes modular, simple and automated, production becomes local again.” Productive Machines helped UK manufacturers reshore production using SenseNC™. Innoclamp is enabling the same through intelligent fixturing. I look forward to exploring collaborative opportunities, combining forces to accelerate automation and bring manufacturing back to Europe. 🎥 Full interview below. #AdvancedManufacturing #CNCInnovation #SmartAutomation #Reshoring
