Finland-based Fastems Group will host an online Open House and Conference entitled "Productivity Beyond Machine Tending" on 4 November. 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 event will offer people in manufacturing across Europe and North America with informative and educational webinars, video demonstrations, as well as 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
– New innovations and flexibility improvements in robot cells and software

Fastems CEO Mikko Nyman will open the event, welcoming the audience. The event is scheduled for European audiences on November 4, 2020, at 8:00 CET. Fastems warmly welcomes delegates to attend the entire event that day or access single presentations based on interest.
