Digital twin, a key piece in Industry 4.0
12 December, 2018
Virtually everyone in business circles has heard of digital transformation and Industry 4.0. However, if we ask a little more in depth, many people understand digitization as something purely computerized: the elimination of paper, the implementation of ERPs and other types of software, communication by digital means or, at most, robotization. When we talk about […]
3D simulation as a productivity improvement tool
21 December, 2018
The popular saying says that experiments, better to do them with soda. We can’t think of a more concise and simple description for the need to use simulation tools in the industrial environment. Simulating in this context is equivalent to the possibility of testing and learning in a safe environment that mimics as faithfully as […]
Artificial Intelligence: Science applied to industry and decision-making
27 December, 2018
When we talk about artificial intelligence, we all get Hollywood movies, from the evil Terminator Skynet to the no less evil Matrix. It must be said that these kinds of sci-fi films are much closer to fiction than to science. So what do we mean when we talk about artificial intelligence? We’re talking, basically, about […]
Technology trends in companies for 2019
10 January, 2019
The year that has just begun will mean that we will continue to advance the technological revolution in which companies are already immersed. The maturation of many technologies, together with their cheaper, will allow many more companies to start or advance on the road to Industry 4.0, something that until now was mainly available to […]
Smart factory: the smart or connected factory and Industry 4.0
29 January, 2019
Within what is already called the 4th Industrial Revolution, that of automation and digitization of production, there are sectors that go much more advanced than others. Take, for example, the car factories: thanks to the application of the latest technologies in terms of productivity, robotization and constant innovation (fruit of the commercial pressure that the […]
Cobots and exoskeletons: when robots and human beings interact with each other
5 February, 2019
Robots have been incorporated into manufacturing and logistics processes in many different sectors for many years. They can be seen in all the production chains of automotive factories, working as forklifts or autonomous loaders in large logistics centers and, increasingly, in small and medium-sized companies, performing heavy or repetitive tasks. Even many pharmacies already have […]
Digital twin: a revolution within reach of all companies
25 June, 2019
In our experience attending talks and conferences on digitization and Industry 4.0 and being speakers in many of them, we have often encountered a certain perception among medium and small companies that “this is not for me” or “my company is not prepared” when we talk about the digital twin as a key technology for […]
Machine learning: A basic tool of Industry 4.0
1 July, 2019
When we talk about machine learning, we mean, in general, the ability of certain machines and, therefore, the computer systems that govern them, to “learn” from experience. Modern computing is based on algorithms (mathematical formulas with many factors) that can become very complex, and on “decision trees” containing instructions for decision-making of the type “if […]
INDUSTRY DICTIONARY 4.0
1 July, 2019
When a company wants to start in Industry 4.0, its managers will come across a number of concepts that have some technical complexity and that, in many cases, are not well explained or not in one place. In order to facilitate understanding and save searches regarding the vocabulary that is handled in the sector, we […]
