The first pilot project is scheduled for development in 2021 at Kubik, an experimental building located on the Bizkaia Science and Technology Park.

The Lantegi 4.0 platform, which was developed in collaboration with the UPV/EHU and Virtualware LABS, is a tool that automatically generates a unique digital twin of all the structural and operational elements of a plant: it makes industries more efficient and capable of adapting to their environment and predicting failures.

This new technology taps into the system, analyses how it behaves in response to different stimuli and tests the consequences of different actions so that new product units can be optimised. To do so, it draws on the latest developments in the 3D digitalisation of assets, augmented reality, image processing techniques, artificial intelligence and robotics.

According to the project leaders, “Lantegi 4.0 has been designed as the first part of an ambitious commitment: to progress along the path towards integral automation in generating real factory models, where the functional twins of machinery and processes can be integrated”.

The project, which is backed by the Basque Government's Elkartek 2020 programme, has already started to carry out the first sensor analyses. The first pilot project is scheduled for development this year at Kubik, TECNALIA's experimental building on the Bizkaia Science and Technology Park, and at its industrial facilities on the Gipuzkoa Science and Technology Park.
