The Innovators in Micro Manufacturing
In micro manufacturing these days, being better than the competition is often a matter of surprisingly small things. Achieving these subtle points of distinction calls for specific expertise every step of the way. For most manufacturers, however, it’s impossible to find all the required know-how and skills within their own organisation. That’s where WWINN comes in.

specializes
in
developing and implementing innovative tailor-made solutions for the production of high-quality components, particularly in the electronic, medical, automotive, and high-tech industries. One of our main assets is our vast inside knowledge of manufacturing environments. It allows us to operate from an elevated perspective and zoom in wherever necessary. This working method is acclaimed by customers worldwide for its effectiveness.
WWINN Group Improving your competitive edge Three business units The WWINN Group incorporates three complementary business units, each excelling in its own specific area of expertise: INNLab re-engineering products and processes
for effective automated production
IMS
intelligent manufacturing solutions in
micro assembly and micro system technology
ESPS
services and solutions primarily aimed
at maximizing productivity
While each business unit’s services are available separately, the WWINN Group’s true strength lies in the integration of expertise. By summoning the wealth of experience we’ve gathered in well over 50 years, we can help you to drastically improve your competitive edge.
Are you looking to develop a new product or further automate your production processes? Then INNLab (the Innovation Laboratory) is the partner you need. A think tank for all intents and purposes, INNLab is dedicated to bridging the gap between product design and (semi) automated production. By offering expert engineering services

Making products makeable Minimizing risk and cost INNLab’s contribution generally starts well before the actual production stage. Besides considering all relevant technological issues, INNLab looks at ways to reduce investment risks as well as TCO and cost per product to the absolute minimum. It all results in the best possible trajectory from prototype to product. Focused working methods INNLab is fastidious about applying working methods that are aimed at getting the required results. These focused approaches include Design for Assembly and Design for Engineering as well as dedicated methods for process and equipment validation. High esteem INNLab staff operates in full accordance with principles and methods as prescribed by Six Sigma Black Belt (DMAIC/DfSS). Their work is held in high esteem by experts all over the world. To substantiate this claim, we are proud to state that INNLab is engaged in extensive research and business networks.
If you are in need of a custom-made and turn-key solution in micro assembly or micro system technology, IMS has just what it takes. A tried and tested specialist in concept development for the high precision, electrical, and medical industries, IMS guarantees quality, innovative thinking, flexibility, and short lead times. With IMS, the entire process - from development to after sales services - is in good hands.
Your perfect fit in manufacturing solutions Optimum flexibility and integration Whether for low, medium, or high production levels, IMS always comes up with a perfect fit. This is mainly due to a modular approach, which makes for flexible automation with optimum process integration. What’s more, IMS modularity provides cost efficient ways to upgrade production capacity where and as needed. Solutions can even be made to include the option of growing with market demand. Assured continuity When it comes to manufacturing, machine reliability is everything. That’s why it’s good to know that IMS solutions have been up and running all over the world for many years. Customers are offered fast and high quality services through an international network of carefully selected local partners. Apart from that, due to close cooperation with fellow business unit and service specialist ESPS, IMS is able to solve many service and maintenance issues directly by means of remote management.
ESPS excels at making machines perform at the highest possible levels of output and reliability. Based upon many years’ worth of experience in supporting production activities, ESPS offers tailored services and solutions for equipment inspection, maintenance, adjustment, and transfer as well as spare parts management. These services and solutions are applied with great success in the automotive, semiconductor, system construction and micro assembly industries. Customers worldwide are thrilled about the way ESPS contributes to maximum productivity, not just from each individual machine but from the production process as a whole.
Because productivity counts Dedicated programmes ESPS productivity enhancement takes shape in several dedicated programmes, including: • Total Productive Management (TPM) - continuous and systematic production improvement in close consultation with the customer. • Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) - an analytical approach aimed at identifying production losses and making suggestions for improvement. • 5S Programmes - training and support in implementing the 5S methodology in organisations, as an important first step towards lean manufacturing. • Lean Manufacturing - achieving customer oriented production and short lead times by identifying and eliminating redundancies in the production process. • Modular System Development - systems developed in close cooperation with partners, fully adaptable to your wishes and specifications. • System Integration - specifically aimed at robotic systems.
Modular manufacturing platforms The ample expertise available within the WWINN Group has resulted in a number of
