Eislingen, August 1st, 2024. Digital technologies, robotics, and artificial intelligence are increasingly shaping industrial manufacturing. At the same time, high interest rates, rising costs, environmental requirements, and geopolitical uncertainties pose new challenges for our customers. Therefore, production facilities with high-quality machine tools and machining centers, combined with data competence and simulation expertise, are in demand.
With the theme "Let's start the Journey," Fair Friend Group (FFG) will showcase its comprehensive mechanical engineering expertise at AMB 2024 in Stuttgart. Regardless of where the journey leads and which means of transportation is used, FFG is globally positioned, and parts manufactured on FFG machines are installed in almost every mode of transportation. As a global turnkey supplier with 26 locations in eleven countries, FFG demonstrates a wide range of solutions that fully cover production and value chains. The extensive portfolio includes horizontal 5-axis machining centers, vertical grinding machines, CNC lathes, and complete turnkey systems. These support industries such as automotive, aerospace, and rail transport in the sustainable manufacturing of combustion and electric motors, crankcases, axles, and wheels. "We are already looking forward to direct exchanges with customers and interested parties to find sophisticated and individual solutions for the challenges of future-oriented manufacturing," says Dr. Sebastian Schöning, CEO of FFG Europe & Americas.
Top priorities include digitalization and intelligent services, energy and resource efficiency, and the path to climate-neutral manufacturing. A digital twin of the plant ensures transparent and reliable production techniques. FFG uses 3D simulations to efficiently plan production lines and accurately calculate energy consumption. "We see ourselves as pioneers in implementing energy-saving solutions. Intelligent software control, in particular, helps keep the CO2 footprint per manufactured part low and make the operation of entire manufacturing systems sustainable," emphasizes Schöning. "With our planning tools, we can realistically plan production lines and ensure excellent results from day one."
