24 smart_molding international 2/2021 CRC’s OH – expectations fulfilled? In closer definition, Campetella of - fered considerably more application examples, products and information during the Open House than a large FAKUMA booth or virtual show would have been able to: "Anyone who vis - ited us during these times must have already taken a very strong interest in automation solutions", says Marco Marconi, Sales Area Manager. The reg - istrations were correspondingly quali - fied and clear - based upon their own invitations and supported by the me - dia. No comparisonwith the 2014Open House and around 500 visitors in three days. The OH 2020 inspired not only customers and partners (alphabetical order: ARBURG, BAZIGOS, D. SOUIRIS, Gammaflux, mevisco, MORETTO, SI - MON, viappiani), but also experts from universities: "We were able to advance an important project with the Univer - sity of Ancona, MACHINE LEARNING, energetically," says the Sales Manager, "the interest of the trade visitors, also in the digitalisation solutions, was very high, as expected. So far, around 250 visitors have been our guests. They came from Italy (70%), Austria, Ger - many, the Netherlands, Great Britain, France, Greece, Palestine and Nigeria. We welcomed representatives of the general packaging industry, food pack - aging and medical, who - driven by the boom in their sectors - are now in - creasingly looking for automation part - ners. Until mid-November we are still expecting important key account cus - tomers from Italy and Germany. This will raise the total number to around 370". The multi-media company pre - sentation with discussion was "by far" well attended. The subsequent guided tours were led by the responsible CRC area representatives and sales manag - ers in small groups - supported by the technicians and engineers on site at the robots and IML systems. Feedback and comments have been highly encouraging, "especially from first-time visitors , who expressed their compliments on CRC's strong investment in new technology, clear and straightforward engineering, as well as production and administration processes with the benefits of lean production, lean management and Kaizen," confirms Marconi. Exhibits - Future now? "We have presented everything Campetella has to offer, we are like a glass house today," says Marco, "new Trade visitors were given an opportunity to explore economic IML solutions and new developments presented in an industrially realistic way.
