22 YEARS AGO, HERMLE STARTED DEVELOPING ITS OWN AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR ITS 5-AXIS MACHINING CENTRES. MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN: THE FOCUS IS NO LONGER ON REDUCING SETTING UP TIMES, BUT RATHER ON EVEN LONGER AUTOMATED PRODUCTION RUNS. AND DIGITALIZATION IS GENERATING FURTHER IMPULSES OF ITS OWN. HERMLE'S BASIC PHILOSOPHY, HOWEVER, REMAINS THE SAME: ONE PROVIDER FOR A COMPLETE PACKAGE – FROM THE INITIAL DRAFT FOR A PLANT THROUGH TO SERVICING BEYOND THE GUARANTEE PERIOD.
