At the same time, at the Scientific-Technical Congress, Iñaki Narbaiza, Director of Software Development and Measurement Units at Danobat, will present the technical article “High-performance robot: design, simulation, and calibration,” which outlines the development methodology used to design a high-performance robot capable of performing manufacturing tasks with great precision. 

In addition, in the Cybersecurity area of the forum, Gorka Herranz, Software Development Engineer at Soraluce, will give a presentation on adapting machines to new cybersecurity requirements.

The industrial group's participation in CMH 2025 will conclude on Friday, October 31, with a presentation by the group's CEO, Nerea Aranguren, in the panel discussion “What now?” Together with other CEOs from relevant entities in the sector, she will reflect on the major global challenges impacting the industry: protectionism, the shortage of young talent, international competition, the emergence of artificial intelligence, and Europe's role in the new industrial order. 

“It will be an opportunity to share strategic visions on the future of the sector and the role that industry should play in a context of rapid change,” Aranguren points out.

Through its presence, Danobatgroup reaffirms its leadership in the sector and its commitment to the transformation and progress of machine tools and advanced manufacturing.
