PR ISM A The WILD Group magazine NEW BRIGHT SPOTS IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY The new MDR: What you need to know. An innovative all-rounder for microscopy and endoscopy. A successful trade fair appearance with WIN network partners.

Manfred Galle Head of Medical Technology BRIGHT PROSPECTS The number of applications for optical processes and technologies in medical technology has been on the rise for years. This trend is expected to intensify in the future since the unique properties of light, combined with other future technologies, will enable a boost in innovation hard to imagine today. At WILD, we are looking forward to actively participating in this development. Since modern photonic devices are mostly a complex combination of optics, electronics, surface processing, precision mechanics and software, they are perfectly...

A COMPELLING APPEARANCE. Together with three of its WIN network partners, WILD is presenting bundled expertise for photonic applications in medical technology to visitors at COMPAMED 2018. Medical technology customers are finding it increasingly individual skills and guarantees efficient serial production difficult to keep track of developments and to build thanks to its extensive production expertise and secure up functioning interfaces while, at the same time, processes. “In addition, in such joint venture projects, maintaining a fast pace. WILD therefore used this year’s we contribute the...

LIGHT AS A FORCE OF INNOVATION. In medical technology, photonics is considered to be a driving force behind innovations and solid growth. The WILD Group demonstrates everything that is possible in fields such as diagnosis, treatment, lighting or analysis and scanning. After being treated as a niche market for a long time, photonics has developed into a key technology for many industries and an enabler for comprehensive system solutions in recent years. Medical technology, in particular, is benefiting from the unique properties of light. In combination with other future technologies, photonics...

etrology components, light sources and optics are becoming ever more compact, cost-effective, as well as smaller and quicker. Wolfgang Warum, CTO WILD Group Because of the model diversity, a flexible supply chain that allows for quick reaction is necessary", project manager Josef Kraker explains. Diagnosis and treatment Photonic GmbH, the lighting specialist within the WILD Group, is currently working on expanding the potential of its "ATO-Light for Life" examination lamps into phototherapy. The result is a two-in-one combination device for the diagnosis and treatment of newborn jaundice. It...

IMPLEMENTING THE MDR EFFICIENTLY. The clock is ticking. The objective is to make rational use of the transitional period and develop an efficient implementation strategy. WILD Business Developer Wolfgang Stiegmaier knows a thing or two about how you can manage your MDR. The short transition period from the MDD to the new medical technology, we also provide support in the risk MDR is causing a headache for many medical technology assessment of production processes and their validation.” companies. What do you believe are the decisive first steps to successfully tackle this challenge? WILD collaborates...

A NEW ALL-ROUNDER. Photonic is currently developing a novel multi-colour light source for microscopy and endoscopy which promises lower costs and a longer service life. It also delivers more energy in the desired excitation spectrum for fluorescence applications. In its quest into ever smaller worlds, medicine needs Csekö emphasises. The optics design required for the increasingly more efficient tools. As a result, the mixing of the beam comes from WILD. “Of course, if a significance of fluorescence imaging for medical and customer or an application requires laser instead of LED, laboratory diagnostics...

THE FUTURE OF SCM. Insiders from various industries, including WILD CEO Josef Hackl, highlighted future approaches in materials management in cooperation with the 2018 Logistik-Forum Kärnten. The experts agree: Only those companies that transform to establish a multi-stage supply chain and effectively their supply chain management now will remain compet- procure materials based on consumption. itive in the future as logistics concepts, combined with new technologies, have an impact on both on the speed CEO of the WILD Group, Josef Hackl, contributed his of processes as well as on their quality...
