Interview to Alberto Garrido, Negri Bossi
In the current economic moment the companies have to devise them to sell, which wits employ in his company?
Really are living moments very difficult by very diverse circumstances and is necessary to offer to the new customers proposals that go in the line that need: decrease of costs and greater productivity, new applications, etc.
Exist however two very important reasons that have a definite importance in the new investments and that they are: have the work and obtain financials for the purchase of the means that require to achieve these aims. And both are difficult and escape of our control.
The requests of the transformer of plastics, are today different to the ones of the good times, like the year 2000, for example?
In the line of the mentioned previously, to be able to be competitive in front of other transformers, his exigencias are: better prices in the investments, savings in the costs of transformation (and here has a lot of importance diminish the energetic cost), automation of the processes and of course, greater technological resources and, especially, flexibility to adapt to distinct manufactures and series shorter and cambiantes.
It mention 2 markets consolidated, 2 markets with potentials, and 2 markets that were important but no longer are it.
Are some difficult questions to answer since in almost all the sectors there are signatures that are working well and even increasing his figures and others of the same sector that are in the opposite line.
Markets that are at present working satisfactorily are the packs and packaging, and also the sector of the car, that although it does not enjoy of good perspectives in the inner market if has a very good exporting work.
With good projection are the ones of sanitary ware and clinical applications, and the high electronic technology and of hygiene.
Sectors that had been very important, besides with big effect multiplicador, are all the related with the construction and that now in a lot of cases is purely testimonial if they can not direct his products to the export.
it is going back To the purchase of machines simpler or the transformer follows convinced that only with machines of high technology will go out forward?
That is a question that, in function of the type of activity, has one or another answer. In the actuality can see the increasing presence of marks of technology limited but of very low cost for applications no very demanding, but also is very true that in our country, in this as in other sectors, has to direct to the quality and the high technology for distanciarse of those countries with low costs of work and products of no very high exigencias.
Robots
Until it does some years the available potential of robots (cartesianos) in Spain was important, given the delay of the Spanish transformers in matter of automation. This keeps on being like this?
The potentiality of the market of robots cartesianos keeps on being important, since although we already have happened largely the process of automation of the existent machines a very elevated percentage of the new machines that buy already have to incorporate, like an element more, the robot of extraction equipment equipment and/or manipulation.
When a transformer wants to robotizar a process, sues simply the purchase of a robot or requires usually advice?
There is transformative that already have experience in the application of robots for simple operations and that determines by himself same the type of device that need and there is another sector, increasing, of which want to go but there of what is a simple extraction equipment equipment and deposition of the pieces injected, wish a greater automation and in these cases yes attend to develop jointly with his provider of robots the most appropriate solution.
It has increased the purchase of lines of injection with the robot, that is to say, all integrated cheese cheese? Or it keeps on being more usual the sale of robots apart from the machine?
As it mentioned previously, although they continue automating with robots machines already existent, think that they are more important the destined robots to new machines.
Which have been the main improvements or technical evolutions of the robots in the last five years?
As in all the activities, the evolutions of the robots have gone to a simplification in his handle and some greater possibilities of works very diverse with devices very standard.
