Sandvik Coromant will reveal new connectivity-based solutions designed to help manufacturers optimize their machining and decision making process for the first time at IMTS 2016. The new solutions have been developed to improve every aspect of it, from design, production planning and through machining to post-process analysis and intelligence.

Digitalization within manufacturing is increasingly important for the future success of machine shops the world over, but embarking on this transformational journey also brings challenges and complexities. To help manufacturers overcome them, Sandvik Coromant has devised digital solutions that support those looking to take steps towards a connected future.

"Sandvik Coromant has a long heritage of bringing new technology developments to the metal cutting industry, each of which is based on the values that our customers hold highest, such as greater productivity and profitability," says Magnus Ekbäck, vice president business development at Sandvik Coromant. "Connected software and hardware does the same thing but in a different way. At IMTS, visitors will discover how advancements such as data exchange and machining intelligence will improve efficiency and optimize production processes. New technologies open new possibilities and we are keen to share our knowledge and help customers take the lead in digital machining."

The data collected at each step of the digital machining processes combined with Sandvik Coromant's competence in interpreting and optimizing them will provide manufacturers with better insight about their machining environment and ultimately help them increase their overall profitability. For those wanting to discuss how best to benefit from digital advances such as connectivity, digital machining and big data, as well as the latest machining trends, leading experts from Sandvik Coromant will be available at IMTS 2016 to engage in discussion and address visitors' specific inquiries. A wide selection of tools will also be on show at the exhibition, some of which will be taking part in live demonstrations.

IMTS 2016 takes place on 12-17 September at McCormick Place, Chicago, USA. Sandvik Coromant has two booths at the show, W-1500 (West Building) and NC-509 (North Building, Hall C).
