Founded in 1877, FAMOT Pleszew Sp. z o. o. with its around 700 employees is one of the most traditional of all DMG MORI plants. With investments amounting to a total of 60 million Euros, DMG MORI has extended the factory – one of the largest within the company – to a total area of 50,000 m², of which 21,000 m² are production and assembly areas, and has continuously modernised and digitised the manufacturing technologies in order to promote increased capacities and to further develop its own universal machine portfolio. The latest example is the CLX 450 with its larger turning length of 800 mm. The DMG MORI plant is the first one that operates digitally end-to-end on all added value levels. With modular products from ISTOS, DMG MORI Software Solutions and WERKBLiQ this future-oriented project serves as an example for a digital production plant. FAMOT’s extensive innovations will be presented to trade visitors at the Grand Opening on 8th October 2018.
Future production through integrated digitization
“DMG MORI supports its customers on their path to Industry 4.0 and IIoT. If we are to offer target-oriented end-to-end solutions, we also have to advance our own digitalisation, of course,” explains Dr. Michael Budt, CSO FAMOT / GRAZIANO / Ulyanovsk MT, making reference to the developments in FAMOT. “We are experiencing first-hand how digital transformation can be implemented in practice, because we are developing integral digital solutions for our production.” In this respect the regenerated FAMOT factory marks a milestone for DMG MORI as well as – with exemplary character – for customers and suppliers.
