Press release
mic AG: mic sense AG takes a majority stake in systems specialist SHS
Technologies GmbH
Munich, September 3, 2013 - The theme-based holding company mic sense AG,
which belongs to mic AG (ISIN DE000A0KF6S5), has, with the acquisition of a
51% stake in SHS Technologies GmbH, Chemnitz, taken an important strategic
step to expand the technology base and market positioning of the branch
holding into the industrial control and measurement engineering sector.
SHS Technologies, founded in 2011, owns a system that can be used in
manufacturing processes to detect highly complex material and manufacturing
defects without interrupting production. This system, known as the 'Speed
Optical Analyzer System' (SOANA for short) is the only system of its kind
that can be used directly in an operating production-line process for
quality assurance.
'With the establishment of this innovative system, a new stage in automated
quality control and quality assurance is attained', explains Berndt
Büsterfeld, Board member for mic sense AG. 'The speed and precision of the
data processing and its highly complex algorithms represent a fundamental
component of the innovation', Büsterfeld continues.
Enterprises in the metal processing and automobile industry have already
shown great interest in this product. Thus a test facility was able to be
installed at a large German car manufacturer. Enormous savings can be
achieved with a successful application particularly with regards to
production and material costs. SOANA, based on picture processing, is
specially designed to recognise defects on metallic surfaces and to display
defects pictures in keeping with the speed of the production belt
(processing cycle). The system has a modular concept and can thus be used
variably and specifically according to the application. A further option is
to integrate it directly in various facilities, such as presses.
Claus-Georg Müller, Chair of the Board for mic AG, comments on the
acquisition as follows: 'We are very excited with SHS Technologies GmbH to
be able to integrate a highly innovative enterprise into our total
portfolio and, with the synergies within the mic Group in manufacturing,
sales and marketing and service, we will be on hand with support.'
