Future in the wire industry: Challenges, opportunities, and innovations

The wire industry is undergoing a profound transformation. Companies are increasingly required to adapt to various laws, customer requirements, rising energy and raw material prices, and technological developments. In an industry where production processes have been established over decades, central questions arise: How will wire drawing change in the next ten years? What role will innovations, sustainability, technical advancements, and artificial intelligence play? And all this in different regions of the world with a wide range of requirements and significance.

Productivity and customer-oriented product development as key to success

To remain competitive internationally, companies must continuously increase their productivity and reduce production costs per ton of wire. This is achieved through optimized processes, automation, and the use of data-driven decision mechanisms. At the same time, high customer orientation is required to meet specific customer requirements. The ability to offer flexible and customized solutions will become a decisive success factor. Traxit Wire Lubrication, a brand of Klüber Lubrication, offers exactly this flexibility and develops individual solutions that meet the different regional and industrial requirements.

Technical changes through artificial intelligence

Digitalization and the use of artificial intelligence (AI) are fundamentally changing industrial production. Smart wire drawing machines that independently adjust process parameters can minimize material losses and increase efficiency. AI-supported analyses enable more precise predictions of maintenance needs, reducing downtime.

With the development of new technologies and a view to the future, these changes also influence drawing lubricants: New formulations and compositions must harmonize with the changing machine parameters to achieve optimal results. Traxit Wire Lubrication continuously researches innovative solutions that are specifically tailored to these new requirements, allowing customers to benefit from longer service life and higher efficiency.

Sustainability and energy efficiency as central drivers

Laws and regulations on sustainability are increasingly putting pressure on companies to establish more environmentally friendly production processes. Energy-efficient wire drawing processes, recycled drawing lubricants, and the reduction of CO2 emissions are essential topics. Drawing lubricant manufacturers must develop innovative solutions that not only offer high performance but are also resource-efficient. Sustainable production methods are not only a competitive advantage but often also a legal necessity.
