TECNALIA brings its commitment to connected machines, cybersecurity, and new manufacturing processes to Basque Industry 4.0

Modern industry is based on continuous technological renovation in search of greater competitiveness. This has pushed it to merge the Industrial World with the Digital one, thus becoming Industry 4.0. In this context, the research and technological development centre TECNALIA is implementing new technological solutions that allow companies to turn technology into results and help them to join the future direction set by the markets.

The main Industry 4.0 lines of action in which TECNALIA is working on for companies are: connected machines, new manufacturing processes and cybersecurity. In fact, TECNALIA is a member of four of the Basque Digital Innovation Hub nodes, whose aim is to provide industrial companies, particularly SMEs, with the necessary technological capabilities to face the challenges of Industry 4.0.: Flexible and Collaborative Robotics, for which it is the coordinator; Additive Manufacturing; Cybersecurity; and New Materials.

This will be transferred to the next Basque Industry 4.0 to be held tomorrow and Thursday at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC), the conference organised by the Basque Government and the SPRI Group in which Basque companies reflect on the 4th industrial revolution. Here, TECNALIA will showcase its latest breakthroughs and developments in digital transformation to improve the competitiveness of companies. The presence of the air taxi developed by TECNALIA will also be highlighted. It is the first prototype in Spain for autonomous passenger and goods transport over short distances in cities and consists of an aerodynamic cab with four drones placed at the top and bottom.
