Bystronic: Best choice.
Cutting | Bending | Automation

In order for the latest super-versatile jet PC-24 of the Pilatus family to take off, over 10,000 different individual parts have to be assembled at the competence center for structure assembly operations. A customized storage system from Bystronic helps to master this logistical challenge in an efficient manner.

The world’s largest car manufacturer is getting ready for the future. Over the next few years, Volkswagen will make a radical transition to e-mobility, and the Volkswagen plant in Zwickau, Germany, will play a key role in this process. With the ID.3 model, the blueprint for the new generation of electric cars is being created here. The bending experts from Bystronic are also on board.

How energy is generated is the subject of extensive debate. But how it is used is hardly ever discussed. Yet efficiency measures are indispensable in achieving the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energies. The German efficiency researcher Alexander Sauer knows how industry can make its contribution.

The German trade magazine “MaschinenMarkt” put this question to industry experts and asked them about the criteria, materials, opportunities, and limits of automation. What is their advice to the industry? The magazine interviewed specialists from a number of suppliers. Thomas Dörig, Head of Solution Center, was given the opportunity to present Bystronic’s point of view.

Automation and industrial image processing are two fields of strategic importance for Bystronic. The combination of the two technologies is crucial for the optimization of the manufacturing processes of sheet metal processing companies. With its investment in the startup LIP Automation, Bystronic is positioning itself to play an active role in shaping key technologies of the future.

The future belongs to networked manufacturing. For Bystronic, however, the frequently quoted smart factory is just the beginning. The goal is to create an ecosystem that networks sheet metal processing companies with customers, suppliers, and shipping companies. The benefit for everyone involved: greater transparency and efficiency along the entire supply chain.

Today marks the start of a three-phase gradual resumption of activities in Singapore. For Bystronic Singapore, we are under the permitted services allowed to resume operations and we are doing so with utmost precaution to ensure safety.

Halfway through the circuit breaker extension period, Bystronic successfully secured exemption for essential workers allowing us to resume necessary operations while strictly implementing safety measures advised by the government and Ministry of Health.

Not far from the capital of South Korea, Bystronic Korea celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for its new Experience Center. With the new business location, Bystronic Korea is moving closer to its customers and, thanks to the newly created infrastructure, will be able to offer even more comprehensive customer support.

Industrial companies traditionally develop innovations on their own. However, more openness is needed to take advantage of the opportunities offered by digitization. Together with partners, Bystronic develops networked solutions for sheet metal processors. Because only those who look beyond the horizon can realize the vision of the Smart Factory.

The strategic partnership with IPG Photonics is strengthening Bystronic’s innovative capacity: Together, these two technology pioneers are developing the next generation of fiber lasers.
