Real Challenges Professionals Face at IMTEX FORMING

I rolled into BIEC early on Day 1 of IMTEX FORMING, lanyard swinging, notebook app open for the frenzy.

By 11 AM, the forming hall surged: a tooling vendor passed a dog-eared card mid-press demo, then a weld tech rep scrawled details on mine during automation talks.

Midday pockets overflowed. 70+ cards amassed, Bengaluru dust smudging prints, duplicates from cluster intros, faces merging in machine din.

Afternoon fatigue set in; I shot fuzzy stack pics, jotting "Ravi, hydraulic form, Rs 50cr budget?" in haste. Hotel triage post-event? Endless nights lost.

Missed RFQs, Day-5 proposals ignored. CRM uploads riddled with typos amid post-show haze. This is where Habsy cuts through the noise.
