From innovative development for individual machines, through intelligent solutions, to trends such as automation and robotics as well as all the important information about “Industry 4.0 and networked production”: that’s what visitors to the HOMAG and HOLZMA Treff experienced. It was held between September 22 and Sept 25! As usual, the focus was on the latest demands of customers from trade and industry.
The great interest and enthusiasm for the HOMAG Group Treffs was demonstrated by the number of visitors and the amount of orders received. Around 2.800 visitors from all over the world were welcomed in Schopfloch, including countries such as China, Russia, USA, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, Spain, Portugal, Finland, and Denmark. There were around 1.800 visitors at HOLZMA. The program of presentations by customers and HOMAG Group experts was also well-attended, as were the workshops on topics such as “Networked production — from sales to machine”, as well as the woodWOP user group meeting, with over 50 participants.
Ulrich Schmitz, the Managing Director at HOMAG, was also impressed by the success of the Treffs: “The new Surface Competence Center in Schopfloch, the extraordinary special options for edge processing and the various automation solutions in the CNC area convinced our customers, from the carpentry trade to industry, of our capabilities in terms of innovation and performance once again. The feedback from our customers on the topic of “Industry 4.0 and networked production” was particularly positive. In addition to demonstrating intelligent system concepts live in action, the colleagues from HOMAG Systems and SCHULER Consulting used various means to show how HOMAG Group is active as a life-long partner over the entire product life cycle: from consulting and design, through financing and process optimization, to all-encompassing service. Overall, intensive discussions with customers showed again that the HOMAG Group Treffs are taking on quite a special importance as “industry meeting points.”
New features and product highlights for trade and industry from BRANDT, BÜTFERING, FRIZ, HOMAG Automation, HOMAG eSOLUTION, SCHULER Consulting, and WEEKE were also represented at both Treffs. The numerous customer commissions that were issued in various performance classes reflected the wide range of skills of the HOMAG Group system specialists — and above all, the confidence of the customers.
