Cutting-edge FA exhibition at the center of Japan

Aichi Prefecture is the regions where the automotive industry and other manufacturing industry are very popular. Large companies and SMEs gather there where MECT 2019 will be held. Thus, many visitors who are working at manufacturing site of machining are seen at the MECT.

The exhibitors not only show off the latest products, but also propose solutions that can solve the tasks in machining. These are the opinions received from visitors’ questionnaire in MECT2017. “I was able to find a high-productivity machine which directly related to my work,” and “I received advice on how to use and select tools.”

The maufacturers’ challenge not only to improve productivity but also handle labor shortage due to the declining birthrate and aging population, and to secure and to train skilled human resources.

Therefore the exhibitors develop automation systems using IoT and AI, and such products can be seen in machine tool and  peripheral. Many proposals from companies that can be not seen regularly are likely to be seen in addition to cutting-edge automation.
