Hurco Forms Preferred Partnership with BMO Automation

Hurco Companies, Inc., announced it is partnering with BMO Automation to provide manufacturers with a tested automation solution that requires minimal integration –– and increased productivity without disruption. BMO has been in the automation and digitization business for the machining industry since 2008.

“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.”

Based in the Netherlands, BMO Automation focuses 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.”

Gray added: “Together, Hurco and BMO are dedicated to helping bring our customers the latest Industry 4.0 automation technology to safeguard their competitiveness and elevate their productivity and profitability.”
