Moldsonics: The future of plastics processing - A journey into innovation

Moldsonics, a dynamic startup in the field of measurement hardware for injection molding processes and polymer processing, has recently made headlines. A detailed article about Moldsonics appeared in the prestigious magazine DIE MACHER, offering insights into the company's innovative solutions and the visions of managing directors Bernhard Praher and Thomas Mitterlehner.

The makers: A platform for thought leaders

It provides a stage for entrepreneurs to share their ideas and visions and make them accessible to a broad audience. The magazine is characterized by in-depth analyses and inspiring stories.

The interview with Bernhard Praher and Thomas Mitterlehner

In an interview with "DIE MACHER", Bernhard Praher and Thomas Mitterlehner share the story of how Moldsonics came about and their visions for the future. Both founders conducted research at the Johannes Kepler University(JKU) Linz for ten years before founding Moldsonics in 2017, inspired by their second place in the Edison Ideas Competition.

"The biggest challenge was getting our technology ready for the market and gaining the trust of our industrial partners," explains Bernhard Praher. "We knew that we had something groundbreaking in our hands with our ultrasonic technology, but the road from the idea to series production was long and intensive."

Innovation through ultrasonic technology

Moldsonics is revolutionizing process monitoring and quality control through the use of ultrasonic technology. In contrast to traditional pressure and temperature measurement, ultrasound enables more precise and reliable control of production processes, resulting in higher product quality and lower reject rates.

Market launch and initial successes

Since its foundation, Moldsonics has quickly achieved its first sales through development cooperations. The public appearance at K2022 in Düsseldorf, the world's largest plastics trade fair, was a great success and brought many promising customer contacts. The first products were also presented there.

Future prospects and further development

Moldsonics is constantly working on the further development of its technologies. One current project is the development of a method for measuring wear in plastics processing machines that can be carried out without disassembly during operation, which makes maintenance considerably easier.

Conclusion

Moldsonics impressively demonstrates how scientific research and innovative ideas can lead to successful companies. The article in "DIE MACHER" underlines the importance of Moldsonics in the plastics processing industry and the potential of modern measurement technologies. With their advanced solutions and visionary approaches, Bernhard Praher and Thomas Mitterlehner are in the process of making Moldsonics a leading company in the industry.

"We are only at the beginning of our journey," concludes Praher. "The possibilities that ultrasonic technology offers us are almost limitless, and we look forward to shaping the future of plastics processing together with our partners." This quote sums up the ambition and confidence of the founders and gives an outlook on the promising future of Moldsonics.
