この発見、激アツ )(Kono hakken, geki Atsu!!!!! – This discovery is super exciting!!!!

True to this year’s motto of the MECT show in Nagoya Toolsunited definitely was the star of the (CIMSOURCE) show. Although we feel that the concept of “Digital Twins” used for CAM automation is still comparatively new for the Japanese market, we generated some “whow” effects for those customers that tried to build tooling databases on their own before. With many other visitors you saw a thought process starting. “How could this benefit monozukuri? (the Japanese concept that translates to “the making of things,” but encompasses a much deeper philosophy of craftsmanship, dedication, and pride in production).

Many of the Japanese tool manufacturers already are embracing the benefits that digitization adds to Monozukuri. The CIMSOURCE technologies resonate very well with leading tool manufacturers, turning the metalworking hall for CIMSOURCE into the customer and prospects hall. What a location!

The busy show (well beyond 70,000 visitors) generated the same amount of leads as EMO a few weeks ago. Japanese customers treat trade shows like it was in Europe some time ago. Picking up information in the verbal sense, being open to learn about things they just came across by chance, listening to what you have to say, moving on as they got the idea.

General show facts:
