Internship @ HAHN Automation Group ✨ This week, four interns from Herzog-Johann-Gymnasium Simmern visited the HAHN Automation Group in Rheinböllen to get a glimpse into our daily work routine and gain a variety of insights. Two of them, who are interested in assembly work, visited the training workshop and learned about various tasks involved in the apprenticeship programs related to assembly, electronics, and warehouse logistics. The other two interns, who are interested in marketing, spent the week working on job-related tasks. They assisted with the planning and execution of social media campaigns, gained insight into Adobe Creative Cloud, and independently created content and graphics. We hope you had a great week with us and were able to gain valuable insight into our company. Maybe we’ll see some of you again as members of our #HAHNTeam . 🚀 #HAHNAutomationGroup #Internship #Marketing #Assembly

We were delighted to host yesterday’s event, “Circular Business Models and Products in Machinery and Plant Engineering,” at our Austrian site in Kremsmünster in collaboration with VDMA ! The event brought together more than 50 senior professionals from the machinery and plant engineering sector in Austria and Germany, including CEOs and business development leaders from across Europe. A special thanks goes to our host Stefan Breitwieser and to Thomas Stelzer for his inspiring opening remarks — a strong demonstration of how industry and regional policy are joining forces to drive sustainability and competitiveness. The day’s agenda was rich and hands-on, covering everything from the “10-R” strategies of the circular economy and best-practice case studies — including insights from our own shop floor in Kremsmünster — to practical discussions on refurbish-versus-new-build models. At HAHN Automation Group Austria, we were proud to offer a guided tour of our facility and to showcase how circularity is already embedded in our automation and testing solutions. Events like these reinforce the connection between innovation, resource efficiency, and future-proof manufacturing. We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to advance circular business models. A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated and contributed to such valuable discussions! #HAHNAutomationGroup #HAHNTeam #VDMA

HAHN at the VDMA China Mechanical Engineering Summit 2025 😍 The 14th VDMA China Mechanical Engineering Summit took place in China in September. This important industry gathering featured exciting discussions on future topics in mechanical engineering. Haiying Chen, President of the APAC region, attended on behalf of the HAHN Automation Group 💬 Here, Haiying shares his most important impressions: “German mechanical engineering is facing long-term challenges, primarily due to changes in the automotive industry. China remains one of the most important markets.' Further key takeaways: 🌍 AI is rapidly gaining importance in mechanical engineering. 🌍 Cooperation and exchange between Europe, China and the USA are crucial. In the panel discussion it became clear that politics and business must work more closely together on risk management. 🌍 There are great opportunities opening up for the HAHN Automation Group, particularly through the China+X strategy of many of our customers, as well as through our commitment to the APAC region. 💬 “China remains a central component of our global fulfilment strategy.” #HAHNAutomationGroup #HAHNTeam #HAHNChina

How Can I Design My Product for Vision? Vision systems rely on contrast to accurately inspect and validate components and the design of your product plays a key role in making that possible. At HAHN Automation Group, we help manufacturers design products with vision functionality in mind. Here are a few ways to improve contrast and support more reliable inspection results: ✅ Use Distinctive Materials - Components made from contrasting materials are easier for vision systems to differentiate. If that’s not feasible, even small variations in texture or finish can improve detection. ✅ Optimize for Lighting - Design your product features to work with your production lighting. Unique shapes or contours can enhance visibility and reduce false reads. ✅ Incorporate Geometry - Adding patterns or textures can manipulate light reflection in ways that help vision systems distinguish parts more easily, and lead to more consistent performance. When vision accuracy matters, design is the starting point. With decades of experience in vision integration across MedTech, Electronics, and Automotive, we help you build smarter, inspection-ready systems. 📍 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eUdHAWeN #VisionSystems #HAHNAutomationGroup #MachineVision #SmartManufacturing #MedTech #ProductDesign

Hi, my name is Marcelino, and #IamHAHN since 2021. I'm a mechatronics engineer by profession, and from the very beginning of my career, I’ve been passionate about advancing in the field of automation. I started at HAHN as an intern, then became a Mechatronics Assembly Technician. Later, I moved into Mechanical Design, and today, I’m proud to be working as a Production Planner in our team in Croatia. Over the years, I’ve taken on a variety of roles and challenges. Each one has helped me grow both professionally and personally. One of the highlights of my journey has been the transition from assembly to engineering and now into production planning. In this role, I contribute to process improvements and provide daily support to various teams across the company. It requires seeing the bigger picture, solving problems quickly, and keeping communication between departments strong. What motivates me most at HAHN is that development opportunities aren't something you have to search for. They’re offered when you show the willingness to learn and put in the effort. The culture of support, openness, and teamwork makes this a great place not just for building a career, but also for personal growth. I’m looking forward to new challenges and truly believe the best is yet to come. #HAHNAutomationGroup #HAHNTeam #IamHAHN

How Can I Improve My Operators’ Productivity and Consistency? In high-precision environments, productivity and consistency start on the line. At HAHN Automation Group, we help manufacturers integrate smart inspection and validation tools into their assembly processes — reducing field defects and enabling better operator performance. Here are three key areas we recommend focusing on: ✅ Familiarity If your process is currently manual, fully-automated solutions may create friction. Introducing semi-manual systems with machine vision and error-proofing tools often delivers a more productive and realistic first step. ✅ Safety and Ergonomics Understand how your operators interact with the line. Are they seated or standing? How far are they reaching? Designing with ergonomics in mind improves safety and helps operators work more efficiently on repetitive, high-precision tasks. ✅ Error-Proofing When full automation isn’t feasible, manual stations can still benefit from integrated error-proofing. Part ID, orientation checks, and dimensional inspections all support higher accuracy and consistency. With more than 30 years of experience across MedTech, Automotive, and Electronics, we bring global expertise to operator-focused solutions that scale with your goals. 📍 Learn more: www.hahnautomation.group #HAHNAutomationGroup #OperatorProductivity #ErrorProofing #MachineVision #MedTech #SmartManufacturing #HAHNTeam

From Classroom to Shopfloor 😍 This year, we are proud to welcome four high school students to their internship at HAHN Automation Group Croatia! From day one, they’ve been actively involved in the assembly process, working on actual projects, not simulations. Under the guidance of experienced mentors, they’re developing practical skills in a real-world environment that will prepare them for the future of automation. We believe that the best way to learn is by doing, and we’re excited to be part of their journey! 🚀 #HAHNAutomationGroup #InternshipExperience #FutureOfAutomation #HAHNTeam
