  • Metals-Magazine- 10-1-2021
    ISSUE 10 | FEBRUARY 2021 INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY FOR THE METALS INDUSTRY SEAMLESS SUPPORT THROUGHOUT 2020 DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION IN METALS PRODUCTION DISCOVERING THE CRACOW COMPANY LOCATION The challenging situation in 2020 also prompted “ unexpected rewards— and even some techno- logical breakthroughs.” 3 EDITOR'S COLUMN DEAR READER, I'll let you into a secret: I did not want to turn this issue of Metals Magazine into a "Covid edition." I felt that, by the time you held your copy in your hands, the pandemic might have taken its toll on you one way or another, and that you'd probably rather have Primetals Technologies discuss more positive subject matter. But as 2020 pro- gressed, I realized two things. One, there was just no getting around what had become the "elephant in the room" in my concept for this edition. To not address the effects of this global crisis became more unfathomable as the year went on. Two, the challenging situation also prompted unexpected rewards—and even some techno- logical breakthroughs. To give you an example: together with you, our partners in the industry, we developed new forms of remote collaboration using various kinds of digi- tal tools. We were able to keep projects going and to execute equipment startups from afar. These achieve- ments ensured business continuity for all of us, and while I believe that we'll be profiting from what we've learned for years to come, the new ways of working clearly origi- nate from the situation we were facing—namely, Covid. Having shared this story with you, I'd like to continue on a more personal note.
