The BIEMH from another point of view
June 29, 2010
A warmed up late of the last week of May, in company of my experienced boss, head to a Biennial of Machine Tool by which all the world in general had curiosity.
Curiosity of how the so feared crisis had affected to which antaño was the very magnificent fair BIEMH. Already in advance it knew that big marks of manufacture of tool did not go to be. rumoreaba Also that they had put of agreement not to assist in group and like this save some euros in what to marketing refers . That no everything goes to be go down costs reducing what a lot of think that is the only that can reduce : human resources.
Anyway, park the car in the immense parking of the BEC and, after fixing us in the letter and number that had parked, direct us over time just to throw a glimpse to the fair.
The colossal of the BEC stressed in my humble opinion the solitude of the assistants that correteaban the immense corridors of the fair. Confront of the tourniquet appreciated to the fortune the have an and-ticket for having me registered in advance and not having to pay like this the 15 that cost the entrance, that if it is truth that really are in crisis, and give faith of this, seems me a bit expensive the entrance as to pay it and go in to throw a glimpse without more.
Once inside begin the visit by the gigantic machines that were of exhibition in the first enclosure. To be Thursday in the afternoon and hardly remain a pair of days so that it concluded the fair, more than ties and suits saw zapatillas and T-shirts by the corridors of the biennial. It gave me the feeling that there were a lot of students and less professionals that in the previous editions, although anyway, the students of today will be the professionals of the future. The feeling that perceived in this edition was of tranquility, calm and for nothing the overwhelm of people in function of the day chosen for the visit that in previous editions could have occurred.
Greet to some that another commercial with which have had the taste to work —with which have had the discontent to work not even greet them— and confirmed us that the environingingment relaxed that it breathed the Thursday in the afternoon had been even desértico in the first days of the fair in question.
With some commercial even stop us a good while to take something and the tables that in another period were to rebosar of glasses and good came hardly housed to people known with which took a coffee or something baratillo and chatted of the general situation and the so feared crisis. I imagine me those that fears will have removed the whiskies of the biennial to close the deal of an important acquisition, but this definitely, has been in previous editions.
Manufacturers of tools this time there were very few and, unfortunately, I think it's something that might be interesting at the moment of belt-tightening. A fat machine may involve high investment, change tools is a cost that can be assumed more easily and can affect productivity improvements if it is the right choice. A penalty being could not find more information about this scene.
In the face of the Gallery to me what most caught my attention were water and laser cutting machines. The truth, wanted to see something working and it was spectacular.
Also went me well for the eye throughout the world of robots, machine vision and other technological developments to come out and try to provide us with (and speed up us, that time is money) the daily tasks that we perform in our respective jobs. It seems that every time there are more tools and automated devices and since then found me a very interesting field to follow and keep up to date in regards technological innovations.
They already noticed the legs a bit tired of both walk back and forward and as it was the time of close we went to output a quiet cigar-smoking and check as the output was not a constant flow of people andin which in other times would have been an agglomeration of anxious to get out to smoke after a difficult visit to the Biennale, this time were small loose groups that are going away from the interrupted event from time to time by some kids who distributed propaganda. Curiously the propaganda was ladies of company and gives me that this time they even notice the crisis.
