The Leading Edge

Posted in Management Talk in October 2018

As the lines between manufacturing and technology are becoming more blurred, it becomes more and more critical to keep up with both so one does not outpace the other. Advancements in robotics, machine learning, artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things make it difficult to keep pace, but Seco Tools is committed to staying on the leading edge of modern technologies to help ease that transition for our customers.

Increased demand for tooling in more automated and autonomous environments requires suppliers to remain technologically advanced and aware. Seco Tools is committed to developing our capability and capacity in the digital area while also striving to stay on the leading edge of advancements in technology for the good of the industry and our customers. Digital and Industrial are merging rapidly, and Seco Tools will be part of that transformation.

On our path to this digital transformation, IT functions will become much more of a strategic contributor to the overall business. Although day-to-day support for operational tasks remains critical, we have increased our focus on blending technology into ongoing business operations. In IT, our goal is to provide all areas of the business with the technical expertise and modern tools they need to work more effectively and efficiently. Industry 4.0 will be a consideration in all of our ongoing projects, and advancement into new and emerging technologies will be on the forefront of our minds.
