Knowledge and proper training raise productivity and sustainability levels with the right technology.
Machinery and peripherals suppliers and distributors are crucial to ensuring correct machine and equipment integration according to production solutions that guarantee productivity and sustainability using state-of-the-art technology. This statement is shared with FABTECH MEXICO by Jerónimo E. García De Brahi, CEO of Herramental, a leading machine tools and peripheral equipment supplier in Mexico.
"Our main objective is to generate productivity with our customers," says García De Brahi, who explains that his strategy to achieve this is based on three pillars: a) Supply machinery, equipment, and tools
b) Provide state-of-the-art technology, including all computer science and analytics related to Industry 4.0
c) Training, through the SETEC initiative, with technical seminar programs.
The knowledge and technology forum
Herramental’s CEO discusses the importance of maintaining an educational offer for his customers since it allows them to support continuous and mutual learning "between machinery and equipment developers, end users, and us as instrumentation."
The integration work done by the Monterrey firm allows for generating a chain of productivity and continuous improvement since its specialists build solutions from the needs of customers, which remain to change and in constant transformation.
García De Brahi assures that FABTECH MEXICO has become part of this training process in the industry, as it has become a pole of innovation and technology for Mexican manufacturing. The event is now where consumers seek and find the required solutions. Suppliers, on the other hand, can understand the direction in which companies in the metalworking sector move. Thanks to the meetings and conversations generated throughout the stands, effective feedback processes are established from which development and innovation strategies are developed to satisfy industrialists' needs.
Increased productivity and sustainability
For FABTECH 2023, the Herramental executive foresees a wide range of robotic technology for different uses and production processes, with many front-end applications and software interfaces that will allow online interaction with the activities of the plant floor and each production process in real time.
It also observes that there is a clear trend towards concepts of circular economy and sustainability designed from engineering developments focused on greater productivity since it is through this that a high impact can be obtained in favor of the environment, with fewer wasted resources, cleaner processes and improvements in economic indicators that guarantee the life of companies, with sustainable developments and preserving an increasingly green planet. García De Brahi sees significant opportunities shortly for metalworking companies in Mexico due to the trend of nearshoring, which will bring new projects to the country due to the vast comparative sales of manufacturing companies established in the national territory. "There is much talent, excellent companies of all sizes, and high know-how and experience in manufacturing. FABTECH 2023 is a forum helping Mexican companies move more and exponentially towards technological improvement, productivity, and sustainability. There is still a long way to go because the world is changing faster and faster."
