    Bühler Opens CUBIC Innovation Campus

    The three-story CUBIC is designed to accommodate up to 300 people.

    Bühler Opens CUBIC Innovation Campus
    05.22.19
    After a construction period of 20 months and an investment of about CHF 50 million, Bühler Group officially opened its CUBIC innovation campus with eight Application Centers. 
     
    “We are with this driving forward our strategy of innovation, training, and development,” Bühler Group CEO Stefan Scheiber said. “Together with our customers, partners from industry and science, academia, and start-ups, we are using the CUBIC to conduct research into new and sustainable solutions that we can apply to successful business ventures. And, we are taking a step forward here in providing modern training and development.”
     
    The global challenges associated with nutrition and mobility are becoming increasingly urgent. How can we sustainably feed and provide mobility for a population of nearly 10 billion in 2050? Addressing these issues and responding to them with sustainable, commercially attractive solutions is the goal of the innovation campus. 
     
    “This is our contribution to transforming the urgent global challenges of our time into solid business solutions together with customers, partners, academia, and start-ups,” Scheiber said. “In this campus, we are also promoting new professional skills and competencies, modern learning and working methods, and collaborating with our partners.” 
     
    Every year, the company invests a sum in the three-digit millions in R&D. In 2018, this amounted to CHF 145 million or 4.4 percent of turnover.
     
    The three-story CUBIC is designed to accommodate up to 300 people, and is, in itself, a model of sustainability and innovation. The building uses 15 percent less energy than comparable structures of its size. Its smart electrochromic glass facade was coated on equipment from Bühler Leybold Optics. 
     
    This enables Bühler to slash energy consumption for heating and air-conditioning by as much as 50 percent. Building sensors measure carbon dioxide levels, air humidity, temperature, and flow of people to continuously fine-tune the functionality and energy consumption of the CUBIC. On the basis of this smart building concept, Bühler expects to be able to sustainably optimize the operation of the building. The CUBIC complies with the sustainability standards of Leadership in Energy and Environment Design, which certified the structure by awarding it a gold rating.
     
    In terms of its design concept, the new innovation campus is integrated into the Bühler site in Uzwil as the bridge that links the development, engineering, and design teams with the modernized Application Centers and the factory. This enables Bühler to develop solutions together with customers, start-ups, and industry and research partners up to the point of market maturity with much higher speed and efficiency. The CUBIC represents Bühler’s purpose of “Innovations for a better world” and it focuses on promoting new training and development methods. Among other things, it embraces the dual education system of Switzerland, housing apprentices and academics, as well as youth and experience.
     
    Project teams from all Bühler business areas currently reside in the CUBIC. Many of them are developing digital solutions, including Bühler Insights, a cloud-based IoT platform for digital services, which was created in close partnership with Microsoft. About 20 percent of the R&D budget went into the development of digital solutions in 2018.
     
    “The CUBIC campus will become the epicenter of our collaborative ecosystem,” Chief Technology Officer Ian Roberts said. “It embodies our innovative spirit and culture, where we will inspire, discuss, understand, and derive actions that will support us as an industry to create more sustainable value chains while contributing to addressing the burning environmental and societal challenges of our time.”
     
    Vital elements of the new innovation campus are its eight modernized Application Centers. The ideas of customers and prototypes are tested in the Application Centers, where they are refined up to the point of market maturity.
     
    In the Battery Lab, researchers are continuing their efforts to develop a new, continuous process for mixing electrode slurries applied in the manufacture of lithium-ion batteries. In the Grinding & Dispersing Application Center, Bühler is developing wet grinding and dispersion solutions, for example for making printing inks. In the Die Casting Application Center, five die-casting cells are installed for training operators and for conducting customer tests. Many of these developments are already incorporated into modern applications for the e-mobility industry.
     
    The CUBIC and the Application Centers will be presented to Bühler’s partners from industry and academia on the occasion of the Bühler Networking Days 2019. On Aug. 26-27, 2019, Bühler expects to welcome nearly 800 guests from process industries around the world to this event.
     
    Keynote speakers at the Networking Days 2019 include, among others, Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, Norway’s first female Premier Minister, and Stefan Palzer, CTO of Nestlé.
