U.S. – The Biesse Group of Italy, one the worlds leading suppliers of woodworking machinery and technology will once again be present at the AWFS industry show in Las Vegas from July 19 to July 22 with a 1.300 m2 booth. 

Federico Broccoli, CEO of Biesse America and Biesse Canada commented on the company’s participation at the coming AWFS show, advising of high expectations in line with the positive state of the US economy.

With a booth larger than that of the 2015 edition, Biesse forecasts more visitors to AWFS 2017, specially from the North East United States and Canada. Technologically speaking, the exhibit will be at a very high level, Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things will be the big themes at the Biesse booth. CEO Broccoli informed that all of Biesse’s technologies will be represented. Including the Winstore panel management system, Airforce hot-air edgebanders, Selco CNC panel saws, Rover CNC machining centers and Viet sanders.

In regards to Industry 4.0 Broccoli said “The real need for being successful with 4.0 is not mechanical engineering but the connectivity made possible by software. Software is truly becoming more and more important, which is why Biesse is investing more in ongoing software development. Right now, we need to educate our customers that a 4.0 factory is not a million dollar investment. Everyone can afford it, and the benefits are fantastic. This is not the future in 20 years, it is happening now.”

Broccoli invited its US and Canadian customers to attend AWFS “Don’t miss the opportunity to attend AWFS because the evolution of innovation in our industry is so exciting you can no longer go to a show every two years and expect to keep up. Things are moving fast. North America requires an important show every year, just as Europe has LIGNA and Xylexpo. AWFS is a major learning opportunity for our industry.”
