Product quality - intelligence in every centimeter
How can my supplier guarantee that every meter of wire is really in good condition?The importance of quality often only becomes apparent when it is lacking. At SHWire, quality is no coincidence, but the result of a production system. With 100% inline testing as the primary standard, supplementary offline checks, automatic blocking & rejection, full traceability and comprehensive certifications, we supply wire that measurably increases safety, efficiency and service life.

When it comes to enamelled wires, the process determines the performance. Even the smallest deviations during production determine how a wire performs later in the application.
Our quality approach:
Data-first, Industry 4.0+ and experience
Standards such as IEC 60317 define important basic principles - but allow tolerances. These tolerances are often too large for high-speed automation, stable winding processes and reproducible series results. Our approach starts where quality is created: in the process - data-based, automated and supported by the ability to generate real knowledge from data.
HFZ - High-voltage error count as the basis of our data-first approach
The patented HFZ test is the spearhead of our sensor technology. It measures insulation variations non-destructively and quantitatively throughout the entire production process. HFZ provides reliable quality data beyond binary good/bad statements. In the case of flat wires, this even enables targeted defect marking of faulty segments.
In-line testing as standard
Electrical, optical and geometric inspections monitor every centimeter of enamelled wire - continuously, non-destructively, fully automatically and in real time. A comprehensive set of parameters from machine, process and quality data is continuously recorded across all lines.
Offline testing as a supplement
Elongation at break, varnish adhesion and chemical resistance provide in-depth information that usefully extends inline measurements. This makes them a deliberate addition to our inline signals.
If values deviate from the continuous tests, the affected reel is automatically blocked and rejected. This creates a production flow in which no centimeter remains unchecked.
Our conviction
Stable quality is the result of continuous, data-based, 100% testing, supplemented by targeted laboratory checks by our experts.
FIT: The heart of our process monitoring
With our FIT production monitoring platform, we network all data streams in real time. FIT recognizes correlations between parameters and independently draws conclusions before deviations become critical. The result: 100% tested enamelled wire - without random samples, without chance.
Core functions of FIT
- Continuous inline monitoring of all critical parameters
- Automatic detection and evaluation of deviations
- Direct initiation of defined measures independent of the operator
- Complete traceability of each reeö via barcode
Future-proof thanks to AI-ready standard
FIT is much more than a monitoring tool - it is our basis for predictive production. Thanks to years of data acquisition, the system is now AI-ready:
- Predictive process control: trend detection before limit values are violated
- AI-Driven: predictive, automated process optimization
- Learning safety: increasing stability with every kilometer produced
Additional options: SynLab® our in-house laboratory
SynLab® supplements in-line monitoring with in-depth material and coating analyses - especially for applications with high voltages, temperatures or chemical requirements. At the same time, SynLab® is our competence center for research and development: Findings from ongoing production are directly incorporated into coatings and system solutions.
