With the aim of giving an impetus to the exchange of knowledge and boosting co-operation between companies, the machine tool manufacturer DANOBATGROUP shared its capacities in the digital industry during the fourth edition of the Basque Industry 4.0, one of the main forums for industry 4.0 in the Basque Country.
With a view to boosting collaboration among benchmark companies in digitalization and SMEs from Gipuzkoa, GOIMEK, specialised in high-precision machining, presented its Industry 4.0 skills during an event attended by a delegation from the Provincial Government of Gipuzkoa.
The manufacturer of machine tools and advanced production systems DANOBATGROUP made an outstanding appearance on the first day of the Congress of Advanced Manufacturing and Machine Tools, which is being held these days in the Gipuzkoa Science and Technology Park.
The event, which started today and will last until Friday, seeks to disseminate trends in the advanced manufacturing sector and this year the emphasis lies on the digitalization of production processes.
Inspired by innovation and with experience based on 55 years of history, SORALUCE is the worldwide leader in milling, boring and turning technologies. Innovation is at the forefront and many of the technologies that drive the machine tool sector have been pioneered by SORALUCE.
We live in a world in constant evolution. A world, where we are all expected to stand out. Greater production rates, higher accuracy, improved efficiency, enhanced performance, user-friendliness, ergonomics, safety and cost-effectiveness; all while reducing cycle times, downtime, consumption and emissions. This is the sort of progress that makes sense for SORALUCE.
DANOBAT, the machine-tool manufacturer, has developed a high-precision multi-disk cutting solution aimed at cutting high added value steel tubes used in strategic sectors such as oil&gas, automotive or bearing manufacturing.
The introduction of digital technologies in industry and the search for new formulas that increase the efficiency of production processes results in the demand for new increasingly qualified professional profiles with the ability to respond to the major changes being experienced by the industry.
In this context, the Basque Government and the machine tool manufacturer DANOBATGROUP have signed a protocol that seeks to establish a joint working framework to promote Dual Vocational Training (VT) projects, an educational model that is characterised by the combination of a solid theoretical programme with practical experience in real production environments.
The agreement, which has been initialled today by the President of the Basque Government, Iñigo Urkullu, and the managing director of DANOBATGROUP, Pello Rodríguez, also considers working on the creation of new specialisation profiles that respond to the needs of industry.
In recent years, there has been an increasing trend to include information and communication technologies into industry that is transforming manufacturing environments.
The connection of production equipment to capture real-time data on what is happening in the machine and in the machining process allows decisions to be made with a thorough knowledge of all the variables that affect the manufacturing process, and make it possible to progress towards increasingly intelligent factories and more efficient and flexible production systems.
DANOBATGROUP has been selected along with ABB, CAF, CIE Automotive, Euskaltel, Iberdrola, ITP, Mercedes, Michelin, Microsoft, Repsol-Petronor and Siemens to participate in “BIND 4.0 StartUP! Basque Industry 4.0 Accelerator Program´, a public-private start-up accelerator to attract to the Basque Country innovative business initiatives from around the world that combines the recruitment of talent for businesses and the acceleration of start-ups in the field of industry 4.0.
The main objective of BIND 4.0 is to strengthen the industrial ecosystem and Basque entrepreneurship through a pioneer program whose expected duration is 24 weeks, between November 2016 and May 2017. Framed in the Interinstitutional Plan for Business Support, BIND is an initiative driven by the Basque Government and the Basque business development agency SPRI, together with the Provincial Councils and the BICs of Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
DANOBATGROUP was awarded the Prize for Innovation in the discipline integration of Industry 4.0 concepts in advanced manufacturing systems at the BIEMH 2016 trade fair.
The group presented the following developments in the digital field under this 4.0 concept:
HMI - Human-machine interface, to improve the interrelationship man machine, through an environment that simplifies machine operation, includes support for programming and specialised machining cycles, facilitates the maintenance reducing down-times, and provides information on how to reduce power consumption.
SORALUCE held the 5th edition of Technology Days at the Excellence Centre BIMATEC SORALUCE from 17th to 21st November 2015, to experience the latest technologies and developments by SORALUCE in real machining conditions, highlighting the new SORALUCE product generation, innovative DAS system (Dynamics Active Stabiliser) and latest developments in Industry 4.0.
