Fields of Application

In Industrial Systems we devote special attention to each of the fields of application so that they can benefit from the transversality and complementarity of our technologies, thus giving rise to a whole range of products and services.

Production and Automation Systems:

• Automated starting systems
• Automated deformation systems
• Automated bonding systems
• Automated systems for transforming composite materials
• Automated systems for construction (on new structures based on composites, traditional materials, automated modular construction)
• Advanced, flexible tools
• Starting processes
• Incremental sheet metal forming processes
• Bonding processes
• Manufacturing and transforming processes for composite materials

Robotics and Manipulation:

• Mobile robotics for professional/industrial service
• Manipulation and packing robotics
• Robotics for advanced, flexible manufacture

Maintenance and After-sales for:

• Railway systems
• Wind farms
• Production plants and systems
• Aeronautical systems
• Works and construction
• Management and traceability for maintenance and safety
• Demanufacturing
