Koh Young has released their latest case study exploring their global partnership with IMI and specifically the success the collaboration has achieved at IMI’s facility in Guadalajara, Mexico.
This case study explores the changing climate for manufacturing in Mexico as volumes and demand increases in the region and manufacturers, including IMI, look to grow through greater automation and closer collaboration with key technology partners like Koh Young. With interviews with Oscar Valdivia, IMI’s Manufacturing Unit Manager for Guadalajara, and Philip Reyes, their Regional Engineering Head, the case study digs into how manufacturing excellence can be developed with the right use of automation and by investing in equipment that creates efficiency and quality through better use of accurate data.
