On October 28th at 17:00h, APTEFORMA will give a new webinar where the protagonists are the companies of the Spanish science and technology parks, imparting success stories of advanced manufacturing.
This webinar is aimed at an audience of 1,954 registered users interested in new technologies, belonging to 775 companies located, for the most part, in 53 Spanish science and technology parks, members of APTE.
Introduction
Advanced Manufacturing encompasses the set of technologies developed in industrial environments to make manufacturing more agile and efficient. To do so, it uses applications of advanced digital technologies on the industrial environment. Under this new paradigm of Industry 4.0, Advanced Manufacturing acquires a new dimension becoming a necessity to achieve the main objectives of the sector: increase production, reduce manufacturing and operating costs, make the production process more flexible and enable scalability in costs and functionality. The cost reduction and increased reliability of technology positions a number of digital solutions on the podium of technologies that, with direct application in the industrial value chain, can be used to achieve these objectives:
-
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. Vision and mobility technologies for the optimization of industrial processes.
-
Digital cufflinks. The technology behind digital twins is very diverse, currently it can be applied to a machine, a building, factories and even cities. According to Gartner, by 2021 half of existing industrial companies will use digital twins and increase their efficiency by 10%.
-
UAVs or drones. Reusable unmanned vehicle, capable of autonomously maintaining a controlled and sustained level of flight.
-
Wearables. Very unobtrusive hand-held devices fully adapted to labor operations
-
3D printing or additive manufacturing. Form of manufacturing in which 3-dimensional objects are created from the additive superimposition of successive layers of material.
-
Cobots. Collaborative and easily programmable robots
-
Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs). Driverless vehicles, which drive to their destination automatically and whose main function is the movement of materials.
