Flexibility is increasingly recognised as a vital competitive edge in the manufacturing sector. At the upcoming Konepaja – Nordic Welding – 3D Expo 2026, this theme takes centre stage. The event will feature insights relevant to contract manufacturers aiming to optimise their operations through flexible and automated solutions.
Scheduled for Tuesday, March 17th, at Konepaja’s Main Stage, the presentation will delve into how flexibility in automated manufacturing serves as a long-term strategic advantage. A key highlight will be the real-world experiences of Finnish contract manufacturer Sähkö-Rantek Oy. Their journey towards enhancing competitiveness through improved flexibility will offer invaluable lessons to other machine shops.
The session will also provide detailed guidance on automating high-mix machining to achieve high spindle utilisation, adaptability, and efficient lights-out production. The opportunity to integrate these strategies can significantly transform a manufacturer’s productivity and market standing.
Attendees are invited to visit Hall E, booth E50, to engage with industry experts and explore how implementing flexibility can revolutionise shop productivity. The event promises to equip manufacturers with practical strategies for leveraging automation to stay competitive in today’s demanding market landscape.
