The smart equipment ready to be connected, as well as the industrial software solutions motivated us to be part of the Smart Factory in the Demo Metal West 2019. The main objective is to help companies become aware of the need, benefits and importance of digitalization. Bosch Rexroth presented innovations in IoT products and solutions with a focus on data collection in the production area, predictive maintenance and support in the production area management. It is necessary to inform the Romanian industry of the need for optimization and connection in order to become more competitive. “

Ioan BĂRBURAȘ, Regional Sales Coordinator EPLAN Software & Service GmbH

“I welcome the T&T initiative to promote the Smart Factory concept, a concept that involves companies that provide digitalization and hardware solutions to build the factories of tomorrow. The involved companies offer solutions from concept / design stage (EPLAN) to commissioning of the factory, as well as monitoring it, the output generated by it and the conditions under which it is generated. I recommend visiting the Smart Factory stand at future editions. You will certainly find new ideas for tomorrow that can be implement today.”

Robert DAVID, Sales Engineer RO-MEGA TRADE

“We are glad that we had the opportunity to take part in the Smart Factory project, within the Demo Metal West 2019 event. We are convinced that everyone who passed through the exhibitors’ stands present in this project had things to learn. The Mahr solutions of measurement with data transmission by wireless presented in the project by our company, have aroused the interest of those who want to streamline the control process of the factories in which they operate. “

Alexandru PEZ, Area Sales Manager KAESER Kompressoren Romania

“In my experience, it was the first time that, in an exhibition, I had the opportunity to explain live to both existing and potential customers our concepts and Kaeser development policies related to Industry 4.0, IoT, etc. Moreover, I had the opportunity to exchange impressions with other colleagues from other fields, who in turn implement this concept, clarifying how these concepts interact with each other. Not once did I find myself presenting in continuation of our concept and the way in which the procedure of working is related to the activity of a neighbor stand. Thereby, the client was taken directly by the next company representative, thus, the client was “walked” through several concepts, he didn’t havie to put “end to end” the ideas from different suppliers.”

Simó ISTVÁN, Sales Manager Mitutoyo România

“As a result of working with the Demo Metal team, I was impressed with the vision for the future of global industrial development that will affect our society. The attempt to show visitors through this project – Smart Factory – the exhibitors’ solutions regarding the smart factory, is an innovative and more complex project than the initial estimate. I have to thank the Demo Metal team for their professional spirit and support and also for being always close to us.”
