In response to the boom of the automotive and appliance industry in Mexico, the manufacture of tooling and equipment, and systems for the flow and support of production and material handling, has also experienced a growth in demand. The manufacture and adaptation of this type of system and equipment require flexible, specialized, and high-quality components and now incorporate more and more electronic equipment that eases control of these components' use. During FABTECH Mexico 2023, an industrial exhibition specialized in the metalworking sector for manufacturing and metal forming, these types of accessories and technological devices will be shown.
Emka, a German company with a presence in more than 50 countries, is a leading supplier of this type of access and fastening components. It will be exhibiting its catalog with more than 33 thousand products, with applications and uses for different markets. Emiliano Mendez, from the Engineering and Customer Service area of this company based in Velbert, Germany, explained that FABTECH allows them to reach an audience of industrialists of excellent levels in decision-making.
He added that the event attendees come from different departments within their respective companies. This allows them to make a complete decision when made from other points of view.
Méndez announced that at FABTECH Mexico 2023, Emka would present products from all its families, including connectors, handles, wrenches, plate holders, and other fixing accessories. At their stand, they will also have closure systems for different purposes, profiles, and hinges at their booth. These components are commonly used to manufacture mobile material handling cabinets and trolleys, data centers, and components used in industries as diverse as telecommunications and construction.
Much of Emka’s innovation incorporated in accessories will be on electronics. Due to
plant automation's fast growth, digital solutions that increase operator and supervisor safety are more and more appreciated.
Emiliano Méndez explained that these systems include locks with monitoring control systems, sensors, and software that allows real-time equipment activity monitoring and managing information. These components enable remote access actions and can be integrated with other systems. FABTECH 2023 will be a stage where electronics will shine in virtually every product.
