Why Precision is Becoming Everything: Insights from Ian Maye of Sodick Europe

“Everything is getting smaller and more precise.”
That’s the observation of Ian Maye, who works closely with distributors and end users across Europe in his role with Sodick Europe.

Because Ian supports such a wide range of regions, he sees first-hand the differences in manufacturing requirements and challenges across the continent. Yet despite those differences, there is a universal trend shaping the industry:

Manufacturers everywhere need components that are more accurate, produced faster, with better surface finishes, minimal operator intervention, and, wherever possible, reduced cost.

These rising expectations mean engineers are relying more than ever on technology that can consistently deliver this level of performance. Ian’s work involves demonstrating how Sodick’s EDM and high-precision solutions enable manufacturers to meet these demanding criteria—helping them innovate, optimise workflow, and stay ahead of global competition.

As Sodick continues to evolve its technology, the focus remains the same: empowering manufacturers to achieve exceptional precision and efficiency while paving the way for a smarter, more capable production environment.
