“This agreement consolidates Vixion’s position as a technology partner in the machine tool sector”
Zayer, a machine tool manufacturer, has invested in Vixion Connected Factory, a deeptech startup owned by TECNALIA, becoming its industrial partner and reinforcing its commitment to digitalisation and Industry 4.0
Zayer, an advanced technology machine tool company with more than 60 years’ experience, has become a shareholder of Vixion. The aim is to bring speed to and provide the company with technical momentum and critical knowledge of the sector, with a focus on using data. This agreement also enhances the technology that Vixion has been developing since its inception, and consolidates its position as a technology partner in the machine tool sector.
Vixion, Zayer’s 4.0 supplier
Zayer has been committed to Industry 4.0 since 2014, and has invested in its own R&D and in collaboration with other major players in the sector. However, it is only in the last three years that its machines have become more than just excellent milling machines and machining centres, as they have been equipped with the intelligence that data can bring. Therefore, it has opted for a data-oriented architecture in its machines that enables it to acquire and process data.
Thanks to the framework agreement reached between the two parties two years ago, Zayer has moved towards connecting all its machines to Horus NX, the advanced, adapted version of the solution marketed by Vixion, making Vixion Zayer's exclusive 4.0 supplier.
