President of Haimer, Brendt Holden believes there is endless potential and opportunities from job shops that embrace advanced technologies.
Why? Because these technologies will help to complete the circle of digitalization and help to gain maximum efficiency.
Haimer makes about 4,000 tool holders a day. The company is not an assembly house but makes end products. Because of this, Haimer investigated how to make the company more efficient and it found making its own tool holders and shrink machines that is based on its own production. The company then turned these technologies to its customers.
Holden said that automation is important in manufacturing because it can be done in stages. Starting with a robot and maybe working up from there. Holden said this staged implementation of automation is encouraged by most experts because it helps efficiency while not a complete retooling of how a job shop operates.
