TRAINING CENTEROur new training center offers the best conditions for our young employees for further development and knowledge transfer
ASSEMBLY PROCESSESFrom consulting and conception to construction and assembly commissioning of your individual assembly line, we offer everything from one source.
Our customer-specific automation solutions include all common processes of assembly technology. We integrate the most optimal processes and technologies for your product into your automation system. Our assembly systems guarantee precise work and short throughput times, with a flexible degree of automation.
Modern production lines make comprehensive demands on the individual assembly processes. Often a large number of different processing steps have to be integrated and automated in a perfectly coordinated manner.
Innovation is our motivation
Design and manufacture of highly complex assembly lines
Great ideas need great Solutions
PLASTIC PROCESSESFrom high-speed removal handling with upstream or downstream processes and integrated end-of-line inspection stations to parts packaging and full automation of the entire process chain, we offer the complete turnkey solution
„producing quality economically is our philosophy“

We have many years of know-how in the field of plastics processing and all preparation and post-treatment steps.
At M.A.i you get everything from a single source and ensure conceptual continuity and consistency - from material flow and all necessary assembly processes to product, process and machine data acquisition.
The individual M.A.i system ensures the optimal path to your finished product.
Ready for E-Mobility
In just a few years, electric and hybrid vehicles have developed from a marginal phenomenon to a key issue for future mobility. Rapidly increasing production figures for hybrid and electric vehicles in the coming years underline the importance of this technology for automotive engineering.
M.A.i. develops and implements production lines for sophisticated products in the field of e-mobility and various electrical and electronic controls and actuators in and on the automobile. We are specialists when it comes to innovative production solutions and highly automated series production.
Our developments are suitable for high-precision and fast production of small complex as well as very large assemblies.
Fully automated solutions from MAi are characterized by economic efficiency. Large series production and changing type diversity are possible.

SPECIAL APPLICATIONSWe always seek improvement, optimize our production systems andcontinuously develop new technologies.
Innovation is our motivation
As a system integrator for future-oriented applications in robotics and assembly technology, we supply our customers with individual automation concepts and turnkey solutions.
New products and rational production methods cons-tantly demand innovative ideas.
The increase of economic efficiency combined with all possibilities of process inte-gration is our goal in the de-velopment of our machines.
We develop the most optimal concept for you.
At our site in Nanjing with 5000 square meters of production area and currently 75 emplo-yees, we build complex automation systems, injection molding automation and assembly lines for the Asian region as well as testing systems for the metal and plastics industry. In addition to our own plant production and development in the field of intelligent manufactu-ring systems, we have also installed a service center including a spare parts warehouse at our location in Nanjing.
Engineering, installation, commissioning and service - all from one source!

M.A.i Process Control System / SCADA
We offer various standardized interfaces, such as OPC UA or Profinet, which enable Connection to a higher-level control system or MES as well as the connection of injection molding machines and Assembly or test systems can be integrated into ourdata acquisition.
Statistical evaluation from plant operation: Quantities, scrap quantities, availability, OEE
Display and evaluation of fault reasons / fault frequency
Status and fault signaling on mobile devices, Smartphone, Tablet etc.
View on mobile device -
Live view available at any time on smartphones, tablets, etc.
Traceability
The M.A.i process control system offers the possibility to record all data during production and to assign it to your product by means of a unique part number and / or ticket number.
You have the possibility to create parts life sequen-ces, visualize defects of products and, of course, a variety of ways to export the data, e.g. as csv, xml or directly to an MES.

We make an important contribution to corona preventi-on by manufacturing production lines for protective masks.
With our systems manufactured in Kronach, Upper Fran-conia, FFP2 and FFP3 folding masks can be produced fully automatically with or without additional filters in ac-cordance with DIN EN-149. The systems are CE certified,have an output of up to 60 masks per minute depending on the material and a high technical system availability of ≥ 90 %.
By integrating a packaging line, the masks can also be individually bagged, labeled and stacked in car-tons, providing our customer with a complete solution.
In combination with the production facilities, we also arran-ge contacts with manufacturers of filter materials and nonwo-vens, which are necessary for the production of high-quality certified masks.
The production lines produce foldable masks with unsealed outer ears, which can consist of up to 4/6 layers. The size of the mask is (for adults): ca. 15,7 cm x 10,8 cm
The production lines are very easy to operate, compatible, reliable and cost-effective. The manufactured masks can be used for medicinal uses and in electronics, mining, construction, catering and other industries.
Technologies:• Dispenser• Welding• Labeling• Folding• Cutting• Packaging• Database Interfaces• MES connection
Performance data:• Cycle time up to 60 masks per min
Full automated Maskproduction
Furthermore, we also supply production faci-lities for surgical masks of type I and type IIR according to DIN EN 14683:2019 DE - Medical face masks.
FAST SIDE-ENTRYM.A.i offers you a high-speed linear motorized side delivery system: FAST SIDE-ENTRY.
We guarantee highest productivity for your injection molding processes.
The flat gripper design allows very small mold opening strokes and the integrated vacuum and gripper circuits enable the shortest switching times.
The stable yet compact floor console can be ideally integrated into an existing cell design.
Subsequent processes such as cleaning, ionization and camera inspections etc. are possible during the removal process.
