A Look at the Future of Precision Manufacturing
From Automotive Lighting to New Beginnings


Insight Projects
The manufacturing industry is a complex and ever-evolving landscape, a world of precision, efficiency, and continuous innovation. I recently had the opportunity to work in this environment at FES 360 smart manufacturing GmbH (formerly LIKUM GmbH and A. Maier Präzision GmbH) in Germany. This experience, which concluded in mid-September, provided valuable insights into the intricacies of high-tech Automotive Lighting production.


Working in the Injection Molding Department, my responsibilities were focused on the hands-on aspects of the manufacturing process.
This included:
Ensuring on-time part production and making necessary adjustments to robots and handling equipment.


Independent mold setup, adjustment, and operation of the Arburg injection molding Machines.
Monitoring and optimization of production processes, including troubleshooting. Plastic part testing, quality assurance, and Documentation.


Great Team Work
My experience in the automotive lighting industry, working with companies like Hella and Elba Lighting, enabled me to integrate quickly with the team at FES 360. This background provided a solid foundation for handling complex tasks and making responsible, accurate decisions, even in acute problem situations.


Beyond the technical aspects, it was a true honor to work alongside the dedicated team. I was fortunate to meet wonderful people, some of whom had a background of over 30 years with the company. The opportunity to learn from their extensive experience was incredibly valuable, and I was proud to contribute to the team's shared goals.
This experience has reinforced my commitment to excellence and my passion for finding innovative solutions in the manufacturing world.
“I am excited to apply this expertise to new challenges and continue to contribute to this dynamic industry.”
