Naratek, Giving Tech a Soul Bystronic is becoming a storyteller beyond the boundaries of the sheet metal industry and launches the digital magazine Naratek. At the intersection of technology, science, society and arts, new findings are explored and perspectives are presented in order to inspire readers. Renowned experts, but also researchers and lateral thinkers from the next generation are given the opportunity to share their insights. The current discourse on technology oscillates between euphoria and pessimism: While some have blind faith in progress, others question the dominance of the tech giants. Naratek's mission is to mediate between these two positions by means of “constructive journalism”, an approach that highlights opportunities and solutions, but also critically scrutinizes technological advancements.

Customised silicone heart valves So far, producing artificial heart valves that are precisely tailored to the individual patient has not been possible. ETH Zürich researchers want to change this and are working on a way to create heart valves using a 3D printer. Based on computer simulation of the defective valve, the printer models a precise replica made of silicone. But that's not all: While it takes several days of work to craft heart valves by hand, the 3D printer accomplishes this in just 90 minutes.
Scientists at ETH Zurich and the South African company Strait Access Technologies are using 3D printing to produce custom-made artificial heart valves from silicone. This could help meet an ageing population’s growing demand for replacement heart valves.

“One face, one voice, one behavior" is the motto of our Corporate Communications team at Bystronic. It supports all our subsidiaries and production locations worldwide in matters of corporate and marketing communications. At this year's training, the CorCom specialists imparted the latest knowledge on brand, content and channel management to their colleagues from Asia, America, Africa and Europe.
2020 metal fabrication forecast: The big rethink Fabricators will rethink their technology purchases in the face of a retirement wave and the tightest labor market seen in decades. OEMs will rethink their supply chains in the face of an uncertain trade war. And many will rethink their material purchasing strategies in the face of volatile material pricing. Considering all this, you could call 2020 'the big rethink.'
Most metal fabricators and manufacturers expect softening growth in 2020, but business reinvestment continues unabated.

3D printing technology is expected to reduce global freight traffic. When every machine component and every spare part can be manufactured precisely where it is needed, much of the transport of partially finished goods will be eliminated. Warehouse stocks will shrink because companies will manufacture only on-demand and with an extremely high level of customization. In addition, service providers in the logistics sector will be able to develop new business models and specialize in the provision of an internationally networked 3D printing infrastructure.

When communications no longer just take place between customers and service providers, but also, for example, between warehouse racks, goods, and vehicles, fundamentally new ways of working open up in the logistics sector.
The management of a warehouse, for example, is greatly simplified when the storage rack automatically orders goods to restock itself. Thanks to digital tracking solutions, fleet management is also becoming more efficient: Dispatchers always know precisely where every vehicle is located and which goods they are carrying. Even the planning of routes can be performed automatically – based on real-time traffic conditions and the goods that are being transported. Administrative tasks, such as the billing of transport costs according to usage or the handling of customs formalities, can also be streamlined.

The most prominent topic of debate at the moment in China's Belt and Road Initiative. This "New Silk Road" comprises far-reaching projects aimed at expanding the global trade infrastructure. These include land corridors that infrastructure. These include land corridors that improve China's links to Mongolia and Russia, Central Asia, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia. The initiative also entails the planned expansion of ports along the sea route between Europe and Asia. In addition, climate change could open up new passageways: If the polar ice caps continue to melt, the Northeast Passage along the Siberian coast through the Arctic will become the new main shipping route between Asia and Europe. It is some 4000 nautical miles shorter than the current route via the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean. At 18 days, it would also take around one third off the travel time.

When communications no longer just take place between customers and service providers, but also, for example, between warehouse racks, goods, and vehicles, fundamentally new ways of working open up in the logistics sector.
The management of a warehouse, for example, is greatly simplified when the storage rack automatically orders goods to restock itself. Thanks to digital tracking solutions, fleet management is also becoming more efficient: Dispatchers always know precisely where every vehicle is located and which goods they are carrying. Even the planning of routes can be performed automatically – based on real-time traffic conditions and the goods that are being transported. Administrative tasks, such as the billing of transport costs according to usage or the handling of customs formalities, can also be streamlined.

We are looking forward to the next exciting 30 years with FMG to bring our customers to the next level in automation.
Photos from Bystronic Group's postAt its “Customer Day”, our team in Korea presented the 12 kW ByStar Fiber for the very first time. In our Experience Center in Anyang, we also showed our customers possible solutions for their production processes: From flexible entry-level solutions for fibre laser cutting right through to fully automated cutting and bending systems that fulfil the highest demands. And software solutions that make optimal use of the raw material and fully exploit the potential of the integrated machines.
Timeline PhotosNew trade routes:
The most prominent topic of debate at the moment in China's Belt and Road Initiative. This "New Silk Road" comprises far-reaching projects aimed at expanding the global trade infrastructure. These include land corridors that infrastructure. These include land corridors that improve China's links to Mongolia and Russia, Central Asia, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia. The initiative also entails the planned expansion of ports along the sea route between Europe and Asia. In addition, climate change could open up new passageways: If the polar ice caps continue to melt, the Northeast Passage along the Siberian coast through the Arctic will become the new main shipping route between Asia and Europe. It is some 4000 nautical miles shorter than the current route via the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean. At 18 days, it would also take around one third off the travel time.
