DMG MORI’snew technology center in Somerville, Massachusetts, is designed as a hub for research and development of new digitization solutions and processes for customers worldwide. The 340-square-meter showroom will feature an NTX 1000, NHX 4000, DMU 60 eVo linear and a DMP 70.
Located next door and separated only by a roll-up door is the Tulip headquarters with its no-code platform for creating apps, which the company says has been an important part of its product portfolio since 2019.
“The growing economic development in the northeast USA makes Boston an ideal location for another DMG MORI subsidiary,” says Dr. Keiichi Ota, DMG MORI USA president. “Medical, aerospace and other high technology-driven companies are increasingly growing or locating in the region.”
The center is located in Somerville’s Assembly Square, which is named after the Ford Assembly Plant that once stood on the site. According to the company, the location was chosen to sustainably strengthen its proximity to customers in the future. “The proximity to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Wentworth College and other technical universities will also help us to further advance our focus topics ofautomationand digitization,” Ota says.
Similar to the innovation centers in Chicago, Illinois, and Davis, California, this center was developed to make DMG MORI Boston a place for research and development in these fields. In particular, digitization will be of major significance looking at the proximity to Tulip. “This close collaboration will help us to digitize processes in a hands-on way,” Ota adds.
Tulip is said to empowering the world’s frontline workforce to improve the productivity of their teams, the quality of their output, and the efficiency of their operations. With Tulip’s no-code platform, companies can empower those closest to operations to digitally transform their operations and gain real-time visibility into the people, tools, machines and processes involved — all in a matter of days, the company says.
