Engel industrial automation and injection molding technology

Overview

Engel is expanding its industrial automation and injection molding technologies through AI integration and specialized hardware.

The company has enhanced its Engel Virtual Assistant (EVA) by integrating it with the Inject AI interface. This allows the AI to move beyond technical inquiries to actively interacting with injection molding machine control systems via text or voice commands. Once an operator confirms a suggestion, the system can transfer adjustments directly to the machine to assist with troubleshooting and process optimization.

Additionally, Engel is showcasing the E-Mac 200, a fully electric injection molding machine optimized for high-volume medical component production in cleanroom environments. The machine utilizes the iQ weight control system to adjust injection volume in real-time and employs a validation assistant to evaluate process stability and support manufacturing window validation.
