In the age of Industry 4.0 the world is changing and with it our business environment. Volatile markets, decreasing batch sizes, increasing product diversity and shorter lead times require new approaches for the sheet metal processing sector.
"The demand for automation and digital process solutions is increasing across the complete field of sheet metal processing," said a Bystronic spokesperson. "This trend is having a major impact on our customers' business models and strategies. Digital solutions will support users with the planning, interlinking, monitoring and optimization of all their production processes. All this will boost the sheet metal processing industry to new levels of productivity and transparency. Bystronic with its software specialist Kurago, a strong partner with extensive expertise in the field of consulting and software development for smart production management, is pioneering process solutions that will drive forward Smart Factory software solutions across different brand platforms."
With the development of a new enterprise operational environment for the sheet metal processing sector, where all the processes relating to the day-to-day business of customers will take place, users will thus be able to achieve operational excellence and gain a competitive edge. Cloud technology will enable customers to expand the Bystronic solution as their company grows, thus reducing the total cost of ownership (TCO). In addition, this solution will allow tech companies of all sizes to develop and offer new products and applications designed specifically for the sheet metal processing sector.
