Lantek consolidates itself in Italy as the leader in software for the metal industry

Lamiera offered a meeting place for Italian and foreign manufacturers, companies specialized in the production of complex industrial plants and automated systems, corporations dedicated to the manufacture of autonomous machines and technologies for both traditional factories and Industry 4.0. "And in such a setting, Lantek had to be present," says Sergio Castagnino, manager of Lantek Italia.

"Not only to get closer to our customers and partners”, the manager continues, "but to present to all attendees the improvements and developments we have incorporated into our portfolio of products and services, both our traditional ones, such as our CAD/CAM/MES and ERP solutions and our newer ones such as Lantek Analytics, as well as our latest developments for helping companies transition to the new status offered by Industry 4.0 and for automating and connecting factories and production processes, in other words, to make them intelligent. This value proposition was well received at Lamiera and has opened the door to new business opportunities that we hope to implement in the near future".

Lantek has spent three decades demonstrating its knowledge and experience of the industrial sector, always staying one step ahead of the demands of the market. This vision and the company’s continuous drive to innovate have made it the leading manufacturer of software for the sheet and metal transformation industry worldwide.

This position is also endorsed by the work it carries out with the manufacturers of the more than 1,200 models of machines which use the company’s software, as well as by the alliances and agreements it has with more than 100 OEMs or the more than 22,000 customers who entrust the management of their daily production processes to Lantek software. And all this was evident in this latest edition of the Lamiera trade show, where the company took the opportunity to present its plans and a clear and defined roadmap for the area of CAD/CAM/MES/ERP and Analytics. In addition, the company demonstrated how the latest advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data analytics and cloud computing, have been incorporated into its solutions to help factories become more competitive, profitable and sustainable.  

Furthermore, the offer on display at the fair generated great interest among the attendees, with special emphasis on the part dedicated to product demonstrations such as Lantek Cut and Lantek MES Manager, among others, which help to turn manufacturing processes into smart ones, facilitating the control and planning of production management, and providing agility and efficiency to the daily operations of the industry, very significant issues today in view of the onset of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

"In general terms, we are satisfied with how the trade show went overall, although participation was slightly down from previous editions", states Castagnino. "However, our solutions generated a buzz and were very well received, something that undoubtedly validates our strategy, supports the good health of the company and consolidates Lantek’s leadership in the Italian market”.
