Hurco partners with BMO Automation

Hurco Companies is partnering with BMO Automation to provide customers with a tested automation system.

“Our customers tell us that ‘finding qualified machinists’ is the primary impediment to their company’s growth,” said Paul Gray, Hurco Vice President R&D and Product Development. “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.”

BMO Automation, based in the Netherlands, has been developing automation and digitization systems for the machining industry since 2008. The company has been focused on high-mix/high-volume production to help manufacturers deal with the skills gap and labor shortage, and increase productivity of their CNC machines

“We are excited to partner with Hurco to bring automation to their customers," said Frank Biemans, Managing Director of BMO Automation. "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,”
