The agile supply chain
In order to reduce dependency on supply chains, many manufacturing companies are considering switching parts of their production to additive manufacturing or using it as a supplementary technology if problems arise in conventional supply.

Cooling and temperature control units are designed to cool or control the temperature of sensitive instruments and production steps - but they themselves generate waste heat that is distributed throughout the building. With the robust cooling and temperature control units from the HRS200 series, SMC presents a solution for this.
