Hurco has announced it is partnering with BMO Automation to provide manufacturers with a tested automation solution that requires minimal integration and increased productivity without disruption. BMO has been in the automation and digitisation business for the machining industry since 2008.

“Our customers tell us that finding qualified machinists is the primary impediment to their company’s growth. The formation of this preferred partnership with BMO is another way we can help our customers identify meaningful technologies and automation packages to solve the problems they face on a daily basis,” said Paul Gray, Hurco Vice President, R&D and product development.

Based in the Netherlands, BMO Automation focuses on high-mix/high-volume production to help manufacturers deal with the skills gap and labour shortage and increase productivity of their CNC machines.

The BMO Automation engineers collaborated extensively with the Hurco engineering team to ensure customers experience a seamless integration with the interactive operation of the robot and CNC machine. Our goal is to ensure customers are up and running as soon as it hits their floor,” said Frank Biemans, Managing Director of BMO Automation.
