Holy Technologies (Hamburg), a fast-growing German manufacturer specializing in sustainable and high-performance carbon fiber components, has selected Plataine (Waltham, Mass., U.S.), a provider of AI-based manufacturing optimization solutions, to support its transition into serial production with enhanced scheduling, traceability and production control.

Holy Technologies aims to redefine the future of carbon fiber manufacturing through its infinite fiber placement (IFP) process. IFP is a fully automated robotic system that places continuous carbon fibers along a pre-calculated path, creating components with complex geometries and tailored mechanical properties, such as strength and stiffness. The technology achieves up to 30% lower weight compared to traditional methods. Using advanced automation technologies enables the company to make carbon fiber component production fast, repeatable and scalable. This approach is particularly attractive for high-performance sectors such as automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery and orthopedics. These industries rely on carbon fiber components because they are lightweight and strong, improving efficiency, reducing fuel consumption, extending range or improving durability.

As Holy Technologies prepared for its first serial production run, the company faced the challenge of establishing a reliable system for real-time scheduling as well as traceability of molds, tools and components. In addition, the team sought a digital backbone flexible enough to support both current production needs and future growth.

To address these requirements, Holy Technologies selected Plataine’s AI-powered Production Scheduler. The solution optimizes workstation loads and shift planning, enables predictive maintenance alerts for tools and molds, and delivers real-time quality monitoring to reduce rework and support compliance. Holy Technologies engineering and operations teams will now benefit from real-time visibility into production, empowering them to make data-driven decisions and streamline workflows.

With Plataine, Holy Technologies expects to significantly reduce planning efforts, improve on-time delivery, drive better longer-term procurement and staffing decisions and enable scalable and traceable operations as volumes increase. The result is a robust digital foundation that supports both current efficiency and long-term growth.
