During productronica 2019, the I-Connect007 Editorial Team met with some of the industry's top executives, managers, and engineers.
In this video interview, part of the productronica coverage, the I-Connect007 team speaks with Nicola Doria, president and CEO of Pluritec.
Editor Pete Starkey and Doria discuss some of the changes that have taken place at Pluritec over the past few years, from focusing on drilling and routing machines to becoming a company that provides an entire process solution, not just a machine. Doria explains why Pluritec has partnered with a variety of companies recently to help make this plan a reality. And as Doria says, all of the company’s machines can now communicate with each other as Pluritec continues to implement Industry 4.0.
The productronica event is one of the world’s leading trade fairs for electronics development and production. The productronica trade fair is held on alternating years, at the Messe München in Munich, Germany. The next productronica will be held November 16-19, 2021.
