Trade fairs Lantek has actively participated with its own exhibition stands in a total of four international trade fairs.
Lantek, is a worldwide leading company in the development and commercialisation of comprehensive CAD/CAM/MES/ERP software solutions for the metal industry. It continues to bank on trade fairs and events relating to the metal transformation and machine-tools industry, as a part of its strategy for consolidating and strengthening its global market leadership.
Therefore, in the month of November and as the highlight of the year, Lantek has actively participated with its own exhibition stands in a total of four international trade fairs: MWCS 2011, in Shanghai (China), Aero Engineering 2011; held in Birmingham (United Kingdom), Fabtech 2011, which was held in Chicago (USA) and Tolexpo, in Paris (France). Due to their great potential, these countries are key markets for Lantek, and are especially relevant in the United States and in China, which are considered as strategic markets for the company.
These events, in addition to 17 others that Lantek attended throughout 2011, highlight the relevance of holding specialised trade fairs for the metal and machine-tool industries, insofar as they act as a launch platform for new products and for taking the pulse of the business, both from the technological as well as the innovation point of view.
These events have thus become a good showcase for Lantek to make known both its strategy in each one of the markets where these trade fairs were held, as well as the novelties that it had included in its portfolio of products and services, which were extremely well received by those attending. Moreover, these have allowed the company to create synergies and progress in the signing of cooperation agreements with other manufacturers, to detect new business opportunities and to strengthen its relationships with both partners and clients.
Lantek Steelworks, the main protagonist
Lantek has presented several solutions. services and value proposals at these events, although it was Lantek Steelworks that got the greatest attention and raised the most expectations, as this involves a comprehensive application for the metal structures market and the iron and steel industry.
Now, with Lantek Steelworks this segment can automate, manage and coordinate all of the company’s production processes in an easy, agile and flexible manner. In being very powerful and highly scaleable, this solution allows the client to integrate all its processes and at the same time provide reliable and completely up-to-date information for decision-making.
In addition to being a modular application, it is suited for managing building works and metal structures, also managing the programming of all the machines, regardless of their manufacturer. This global nature and its broad functionality regarding design, calculation, dimensioning of structural elements, etc. make it a tool with unique characteristics in the market which, in turn, allows you to manage the entire materials and supplies inventory, a fundamental and critical aspect in these types of companies.
Within its framework of functionalities, Lantek Steelworks stands out as it offers integration with TEKLA STRUCTURES, which is currently the market’s most advanced 3D (BIM) structural design software and one of the most used. This integration is based on the importing of the Tekla project in its entirety, in other words, its whole structure, components, operations and geometries are managed as a single project within the ERP of Lantek Steelworks. Integration with other 3D structural design tools is planned for the future.
On the other hand, among the many advantages offered by this new Lantek solution, it is particularly important to highlight the benefits relating to profitability and the optimisation of production and management processes, which allow it to generate and add value to the companies that use it, increasing their entrepreneurial excellence. Similarly, Lantek Steelworks has proven that it is the ideal tool so that the metallic structure construction industry can attain greater levels of productivity and efficiency.
Other Lantek proposals that have been presented at these trade fairs and that have attracted great interest among the visitors were Lantek Manager and Lantek Wos, for efficient production management, as well as the option for managing all the machines with the CAD/CAM solution for both the design and nesting, and also the subsequent generation of the CNCs.
