Identifying bottlenecks in Industry is essential to increase production efficiency, or in other words, to reduce manufacturing costs, improve product quality and reduce delivery times. The following are the main steps to be taken to identify bottlenecks in Industry: 1. Mapping of the production process. It is the beginning of everything: create a process map

The meaning of orchestration is “to organize something, to prepare it in advance without paying attention to other opinions”. In an Industry, this meaning applies in much the same way. Today, thanks to digitalization, all the necessary conditions exist in industry to interconnect different elements, allowing the many existing industrial operations to feed back by

In Industry, there are multiple procedures that allow to guarantee a good production. Among them are those that allow a wide variety of products to be processed without the need to purchase additional machinery for such operations, something known as changeover processes. Changeover processes are common in Industry where more than one product is manufactured,

The World Health Organization, WHO, defines occupational health as “a multidisciplinary activity that promotes and protects the health of workers”. It adds: “This discipline seeks to control accidents and diseases by reducing risk conditions”. In other words, occupational health is the employer’s ability to reduce or eliminate any risk factor that may exist in the

The current moment that the industry is living thanks to digitalization allows the traceability of employees and assets with high levels of accuracy. RTLS technology (Real Time Location Systems) makes possible the indoor geolocation of employees and assets (static and in motion): forklifts, AGVs, goods, etc.; while GPS technology enables the outdoor geolocation of employees

The digitization of production allows to guarantee the effectiveness in the execution of plant operations, thus optimizing performance and improving the quality of the final product. Through different management systems, it is possible to control the existing information throughout the plant, integrated with other systems such as ERP and other systems, allowing also to monitor

Industrial companies have multiple systems to provide solutions to different needs. These systems can be of Information Technology (IT), through which they manage product design, manufacturing orders, transport orders or maintenance orders; or of Operation Technology (OT), for the control of physical devices such as PLC, scadas, sensors, etc… In most cases, these systems are

Our living habits have not been the same since the Covid-19 pandemic. Confinement and restrictions have changed many of our ways of doing things, and our day-to-day lives have been significantly impacted. These changes also affected the way we carried out our work, especially in sectors where the only tools needed are a computer and

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the use of connected devices in factories to achieve a higher level of automation in industrial machines, which improves efficiency. In a more technical definition, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is the set of autonomous devices that connect via the Internet to different industrial applications, facilitating data

In sectors where digitisation is becoming increasingly important, such as the industrial sector, choosing the right technological solutions to use becomes a fundamental aspect. Not only in terms of efficiency, in terms of using 100% of the software’s power (which is what is contracted), but also in terms of adaptation, taking into account what needs
