International Metalworking News for Asia - October 2021

In this issue

For businesses in Asia, being future-proof means that technology, processes and people must be equipped and aligned to tackle the challenges ahead. As such, owners and leaders are shifting their focus from simply surviving to thriving in the months and years to come. However, making big plans can be a challenge. It is easy to get distracted with the customary details of operations and lose sight of the bigger picture.
But to what level can owners and leaders future-proof their companies, when so much remains unknown? Technology has always developed at an unparalleled pace, and now, the call for dependable high-speed machine tools and digital process automation will separate companies learning as they go versus those relying on the pre-pandemic platform. In this way, investing in new technologies and skills training will be a non-negotiable reason for businesses that do not want to be left catching up.
In this issue of International Metalworking News for Asia, it is always informative to check out feature interviews of technology leaders from the world’s most innovative and influentialcompanies who are inspiring fundamental change in today’s fluid economy. Mr. Dharmesh Arora, APAC CEO from Schaeffr, shared his view on Asia Pacifics futuristic e-mobility and how to strengthen EV technology. Marcelo Tarkieltaub, Regional Director of Southeast Asia at Rockwell Automation, disclosed key lessons industrial players can learn from the challenges thrown, as well as insights on how to future-proof enterprises for the decades ahead.
