The theme at DMG Mori’s open house exhibition in Pfronten, Germany this year was the “Path of Digitisation” showcasing the company’s technology, including a digital factory, holistic automation solutions and new technology. The open house was held at the company’s Deckel Maho business unit.

Approximately 9 000 visitors, including media members and DMG Mori customers, saw 70 high-tech machines, including the world premiere of the new NTX 3000, as well as innovative manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing.

The digital transformation follows a bottom-up strategy from the CELOS machine on to CELOS manufacturing and right through to the digital factory.

First presented at the EMO, digital workflows for data-supported production planning and automated tool management have meanwhile undergone fine-tuning. They will be available for customers as CELOS apps as early as the first half of this year.
