The struggle to get products to market as quickly as possible isn’t new. Manufacturers have always battled against inconsistent quality and inefficient processes. But today, the battle is even harder to win. Competition is tougher, market conditions are more volatile, and labor is more scarce.

Across the board, manufacturers are being asked to do more with less. And because they’re stretched thin, they’re forced to use their limited resources to put out one fire after another while bigger issues are left smoldering. It’s a vicious cycle that ultimately puts cashflow and profits at risk.

Luckily for manufacturers who’ve found themselves stuck in this reactive mode, Bluco is coming to FABTECH 2023 to break the cycle.

The Power to be Proactive

Bluco is uniquely positioned to provide exactly what manufacturers need right now: untapped reserves of efficiency and productivity.

“In a sense, we’ve cracked the code,” says Bluco Sales Director, Brian Dodsworth. “We see a pattern of companies actively looking for the right levers to pull to get over a hurdle, but they’re completely overlooking workholding,” he says. “Once you understand that’s a lever you can pull, and then you add in the problem-solving expertise and modular toolset that only Bluco can provide, that’s where we change the game,” adds Dodsworth.

By leveraging their distinctive process, experienced team, and modular toolset, Bluco’s strategy enables three core capabilities for their customers:

• To move quickly
• To adapt seamlessly
• To decide confidently

Fabtech 2023 Bluco booth stories
Bluco’s booth will highlight stories like the ones above, and the results that have been achieved by manufactures with welding, positioning, robotics and machining applications. Booth visitors will be able to interact with application engineers, and to explore galleries of modular solutions and results.

A Unique Approach Delivers Outstanding Results

It’s a strategy that pays off for customers. Bluco’s booth will feature stories of customers who’ve shaved 50% off production time, reduced overall costs by 10%, achieved 7x greater accuracy, and finished parts a month faster.

Bluco’s process is unique in the industry. “People are used to choosing what they need from a catalog. But our process is different,” says Dodsworth. “When we assess a company’s needs, We take a step back from ‘I need a welding table,’ and identify what’s really holding them back.” By taking that step back, Bluco is able to create solutions that give their customers a competitive edge. “By empowering them to manage change proactively,’ says Dodsworth, “they can meet the demands of today’s market, and be prepared for whatever tomorrow brings.”
