BUSS AG impressed the jury with its “Predictive Quality” project, an innovative digital solution that leverages industrial artificial intelligence and advanced sensor data to predict product quality in real time during plastics compounding.
Building on its digital platform SenseHUB®, BUSS enables manufacturers to detect deviations early in the production process—before costly lab tests or full batches are completed. This approach significantly reduces scrap, energy consumption, and unplanned downtime, while accelerating the stabilization of new material formulations. By turning deep process know-how into data-driven services, BUSS strengthens its competitive position in a demanding global market and sets a new benchmark for high‑performance plastics manufacturing.
According to Victor Callegari, Head of Business Development & Innovation at BUSS AG, “This award is a strong validation of our vision to move from reactive quality control to predictive, real-time quality assurance. With the support of CSEM’s Digital Journey Award and the Grand Prize of 100,000 Swiss francs in development and digital technology transfer, we can accelerate the industrialization of ‘Predictive Quality’ and make it a truly differentiating service for our customers worldwide—while keeping innovation rooted in Switzerland.”
