JACKSON, Minn. (Oct. 18, 2012)–AGCO, Your Agriculture Company（纽约证券交易所：AGCO），全球农业设备制造商，开设了扩大的制造设施和Intitive Center.SM6月，随着为期两天的盛大开幕式庆祝活动。从那次活动以来，来自全球中西部和世界各地的农民一直在巡回AGCO的75,000平方英尺的拖拉机生产线，并参加Intitive Center内的展品，这是该公司的新的17,000平方英尺的游客中心。超过2,700人巡回了杰克逊，Minn，距离公众开放以来。

Todd Golly was impressed with the high-tech feel of the expanded tractor manufacturing center. “The manufacturing line isn’t like your typical line,” he says. “It is well-lit and organized more like an office than the sort of warehouse-style line I have seen before. Everything that goes into putting one of these machines together, from the actual materials themselves to the way the line is staffed, is really interesting to watch.”
Golly had some specific questions about the features of one of the latest Challenger models and how it would fit into his operation, and the staff members leading the tour were more than willing to answer his questions. “Most plant tours I’ve been on in the past were given by a tour guide, but on this tour we had a product specialist as well,” he explains. “The tour guide and product specialist took our group to the specific place in the plant where the components we asked about were assembled, and went through our questions point by point. That attention to detail set the experience apart.”
Focus on quality
“我们在杰克逊建造了这家新工厂，因为我们希望向经销商和客户有机会看到我们的工艺，”AGCO北美销售副总裁Steve Koep说。KOEP说，这种直线配置的制造线，具有四个质量门检查点和高科技自动化质量控制系统，表明农民对每个产品的详细信息。该线是宽敞的，并且在整个过程中，每个拖拉机的进度都是可见的。大会团队成员和客户可以在屏幕上阅读正在建造的内容，其生产阶段，甚至为曼西弗格森或挑战者拖拉机正在建造。亚博在线手机端
After the manufacturing facility tour, the Gollys and their group spent some time touring Intivity Center, the visitors’ center which offers displays honoring the history of some of AGCO’s brands, such as Massey Ferguson®, Challenger, Fendt®，rogator和兵工人®。显示器还提供了下一代机器中的技术的瞥见。
Golly建议其他人花时间看设施。“无论你拥有什么类型的设备，”Golly说。“如果你是一个农民，或者对农业有任何激情，我认为你会发现这个有趣。我很快就会回到Intitive Center中的更多时间，并看到我们的新挑战者拖拉机离开了这条线。“亚博在线手机端
