Fastems Group will host "Productivity Beyond Machine Tending an online Open House and Conference to take place on 4 November at 11am (EST). The virtual event will showcase the latest developments in automation and surrounding technologies to all metalworking manufacturers. The company’s aim is to educate machine shops on how to improve their efficiency and quality in a manageable, methodical, and practical manner.

The scope of automation includes more than tending machines; it also includes evaluating the surrounding processes such as cutting tool management and other manual work functions to reveal the key bottlenecks that should be addressed first.

The online event will offer delegates in manufacturing industries around Europe and North America with informative and educational webinars, video demonstrations, and Q&A sessions on several productivity-related topics, including: automation possibilities now that go beyond traditional machine tending; building optimal cutting tool management practices, step-by-step; production planning and control software for manual work cells and standalone machines; inspiring FMS advancements based on real customer success stories and a next-generation load handler for machines without automatic pallet changers; and new innovations and flexibility improvements in robot cells and software.

Fastems CEO Mikko Nyman will open the event live, welcoming the audience. The company warmly welcomes everyone to either attend the entire event that day or access single presentations of interest.

If delegates cannot participate on the scheduled date and time, they can view and download all of the free materials at a more convenient time.
