MTDCNC Podcast - Manufacturing Technology

En este episodio, Fer Meléndez conversa con Alison Green, sobre el crecimiento de la industria mexicana, las oportunidades del sector aeroespacial y el papel de la tecnología en el futuro de la manufactura. Durante su visita a Monterrey, ambas descubren de cerca el nivel de innovación, precisión y calidad de empresas como Frisa, un referente internacional que demuestra cómo el talento mexicano y la inversión en tecnología impulsan la industria nacional hacia nuevos mercados. Más allá de las máquinas, también destacan la importancia de la seguridad industrial, la capacitación y la necesidad de acercar las nuevas generaciones a una industria que evoluciona constantemente. Unete a esta conversación sobre el presente y el futuro de la manufactura en México, y sobre la importancia de compartir con el mundo todo lo que el país tiene para ofrecer.

They’ve been using PSL Datatrack since 1999, but over the years, Technoset has transformed how it uses the system. Quoting and scheduling to shop-floor visibility, traceability and business performance, PSL Datatrack now connects information across the operation.
This story isn’t just about software. It’s about training, getting the right data into the system, and working closely with the PSL Datatrack team to keep developing it around the needs of the business.
Join Clinton Perry of MTDCNC for an exciting podcast to explore Technoset’s journey and why Adam believes manufacturers might be surprised by just how much more their production control software could be doing for them.

The UK ranks 11th globally for manufacturing output, yet we’re falling behind in robot adoption, sitting at 24th for robot density. What’s holding us back, and what needs to change?

In this eye-opening podcast filmed at FANUC UK, MTDCNC’s Paul Jones is joined by Lee Scott of Starrag UK and Oliver Selby of FANUC UK to explore the challenges, from short-term contracts and investment decisions to the need for a shift in mindset.

With some surprising statistics, practical ideas and plenty of food for thought, this is a conversation you absolutely won’t want to miss!
