An employee’s view:
I wish to provide close support to our
customers’ production sites
My name is Napatpol Artharamas, my
nick name is Phyte. I studied Electronics
and Communications Engineering in
Thammasart University after which I
joined MMC Hardmetal (Thailand) in
May 2014. I spent 6 weeks training based
around the Tooling Technology packages
1 and 2, then I had the chance to spend 7
weeks of study and hands on training at
theOmiya Technical Center, Japan.Whilst
there, I learnt several new skills and had
many new experiences. On reflection,
it was the most influential period of my
career so far.
When I arrived back in Thailand I was
transferred to Amata Nakorn, where
the construction of MTEC had already
been started. Amata Nakorn is one of
Thailand’s largest Industrial Estates
and is an excellent location in which to
establish the MTEC Technical Center.
I helped set up the equipment and
facilities along with other colleagues by
using the knowledge I gained during my
time in Japan. After MTEC was officially
opened I was given a number of roles to
carry out. I was given responsibility as
the main operator for the CNC lathe and
also as a sub-operator for the machining
centre. I conduct seminars, training and
machining demonstrations when MTEC
has visitors from Thailand or abroad.
Another important role I am involved with
is to assist our local Thai sales staff in
areas such as troubleshooting as well as
carrying out machining tests and writing
of technical reports.
Even though I have only been a member
of the technical team for a short time,
the experiences I have everyday help me
to continuously improve my knowledge
and understanding of metal cutting
processes. I do believe that we as a team,
will developand look forward to furthering
anddeepeningour relationshipwithother
global technical centres, ensuring that we
offer current and potential customers a
higher standard of services and solutions.
Thailand Engineering Center’s solutions services
Demonstrations using actual
machines and a rich seminar
curriculum
We provide lectures on the basics
of metal machining technologies,
such
as
milling,
turning
and drilling using materials
published in Thai, Japanese and
English languages. We also give
active demonstrations using the
latest CNC lathes and machining
centres in the engineering
machine room.
System for live streaming of
demonstrations
We have established a ubiquitous
training system equipped with
an internet-based live streaming
system showing demonstrations
for remote customers. This
enables them to “attend” our
programs and seminars at their
convenience.
R&D collaboration between
industry and academia
We cooperate in research and
development projects based
on new business models.
The ASEAN market promises
future expansion, therefore to
strengthen responses we are
also exploring the possibility
of a joint development with
major universities and research
institutions in Thailand.
