Machine Concepts to present automation and robotic integration for metal forming at FABTECH 2024

The growing demand for advanced manufacturing technologies has led companies like Machine Concepts to excel in industrial process innovation. With a focus on sheet-forming solutions, this company has developed solutions designed to address complex manufacturing challenges. At the 2024 edition, Machine Concepts will present automation and robotic integration for metal forming.

“With Machine Concepts, users get a team of highly skilled engineers, operators, and assembly technicians who partner with their team to design and build innovative processing equipment to operate in the most demanding industrial manufacturing environments,” said Marco Rico, business manager for Machine Concepts Mexico. Their approach is more comprehensive than just offering off-the-shelf solutions. Still, they seek to cater to the most challenging applications that other vendors often avoid due to their complexity.

One of the areas in which Machine Concepts has proven its mastery is leveling for different applications, from cutting lines to measuring rolls, and more recently, robotic integration. In Rico’s words, “We have a powerful approach to automation. We are currently making a strong foray into this area. We want to promote the topic of robotic integration more.”

NETWORKING

The FABTECH Mexico event, which brings together the latest technology and manufacturing trends, has been a critical stage for Machine Concepts to showcase its advances. For the 2024 edition, Rico announced that the company will bring revolutionary solutions, focusing its presentation on automation and robotic integration. “We don’t have any limits in this area,” he added, indicating that they already have projects underway in places such as Ramos Arizpe and Monterrey.

But beyond technology, for Machine Concepts, FABTECH Mexico represents an invaluable opportunity to connect with customers and understand the market’s changing needs. “FABTECH Mexico helps us to remain present with our clients, learn about new challenges, and listen to new projects,” said Rico.

As the global industry shifts toward automation, Rico’s advice to companies was clear: “I recommend that you reach out to every vendor at FABTECH Mexico. Automation will be necessary no matter what, and any company that moves away from this movement will become obsolete.”

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE MOMENT

Nearshoring, or bringing production closer to consumer markets, has resulted in significant growth in demand for automation solutions. Machine Concepts has identified this trend and has worked closely with various companies, many of which they met at previous editions of FABTECH Mexico.

Something to highlight is that Machine Concepts not only offers technological solutions but is also dedicated to understanding and adapting to the changing needs of the industry. Its participation in FABTECH Mexico 2024 is a clear sign of its commitment to this type of challenge related to automation and robotic integration. Rico added, “Each project we conclude leads us to know more about the automation industry, and we are fully available and trained to cover this type of integration industry successfully.”
