Interns at Multivac Bulgaria Production – when attitude and curiosity towards engineering work create future leaders
Over the last couple of years, the link between university education and actual industry has become an increasingly important topic, for businesses as well as the academic community. Companies are searching for young specialists that not only have a stable theoretical understanding but also have adequate practical skills, and students are aiming to acquire actual experience even before graduating. For this reason, the internship programs continuously establish themselves as an important link between universities and professional settings, and a good example of this is the internship program by Multivac Bulgaria Production. It gives an opportunity for students in engineering fields to work with actual projects and to participate in the every day work of design and production teams. The company is part of Multivac – one of the European leaders in the production of vacuum packaging solutions, labeling machines, control and inspection systems, as well as robotic packaging lines.

The success of a robotic cell with FANUC solutions at a German company leads to a new source of revenue
What do companies keep in mind, when they make contracts for mechanical operations, aimed to achieve the next stage of effectiveness, productivity and reliability? The answer, of course, is automation. "It is for this reason that the German company WU Mechanische Werkstätte GmbH implemented its own project to automate one of its own machine tools, creating a robotic work cell using a FANUC industrial robot for loading and unloading finished parts. Two years later, a visitor to the company liked the concept so much that he commissioned WU to build such a robotic cell for his production as well. This marked the beginning of additional revenue for WU as a result of designing and building automated work cells with high-performance industrial robots and FANUC machining centers," FANUC told BalkanEngineer.com.

SpaceCAD: 3D Scan to CAD is our long-term solution for storing and developing engineering know-how in the conditions of modern industry
"We look at the transition from 3D scanning to CAD as insurance for business," experts from SpaceCAD told BalkanEngineer.com. The logic is more than practical: when a firm has a precise digital model of its critical details, it stops relying on the physical condition of the old matrix or instruments. Physical inventory is turning into a digital asset, which can be sent to production all around the world via a single email. "It doesn't matter whether a CNC milling machine or a 3D printer is used - control over the parameters is complete," the company adds. As an established partner with the industry at home, SpaceCAD specializes in the integration of high class software solutions, and their experience in reverse engineering allows precise work even with complex and heavily worn geometries.
