CIT UPC is again a Supporting Partner of Advanced Factories, the leading event in industrial automation and robotics in the south of Europe. Advanced Factories is being held from 18 to 20 April, at the Gran Via venue of the Fira de Barcelona. It hosts a new edition of the Industry 4.0 Congress, simultaneously with AMT - Advanced Machine Tools.
The use of low consumption equipment, solutions such as supply chain display and technological trends such as post-quantum cryptography or the metaverse will be the focus of debate at the Industry 4.0 Congress.
Reindustrialisation, the circular economy, climate neutrality and digitalisation are the objectives of the new Law of Industry that has recently been presented by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism (MINCOTUR), which replaces the legislation that has been in force for over 30 years. The Industry 4.0 Congress, which will take place within the framework of Advanced Factories, will address the strategies and the steps to follow to address modernisation in industry.
Sustainability will again be one of the central topics of the Industry 4.0 Congress, which will analyse the importance of having low consumption equipment with less of an impact on the environment, but also equipment that enables more efficient production and has zero defects. Over 380 industrial experts in sectors such as the automobile industry, aeronautics, pharma, food, electronics, textiles or the rail sector will share successful cases, leading strategies and management models to promote competitiveness in industry.
Other topics are supply chain display through obtaining data in real time, and ‘virtual commissioning’, which consists of using virtual simulation technology such as digital twins to design, install or test machinery in the virtual environment. In addition, possible applications in the industrial metaverse and their compatibility or interaction with immersive solutions will be analysed. The congress will also examine the future, with new solutions and innovations that could have an impact on industry in the coming years, and post-quantum cryptography applications in Industry 4.0, among others.
Thanks to the collaboration agreement between CIT UPC and Advanced Factories, we are pleased to offer a 50% discount code applicable on the pass: 3J522

- The digitalisation of human senses has advanced significantly in areas such as vision, hearing and touch. However, smell and taste continue to present a technological challenge, as their analysis relies on the identification of volatile or dissolved chemical compounds. While there are various sensors on the market capable of detecting specific gases and substances, they often lack the versatility required for comprehensive recognition of complex odours, showing limitations in adapting to different combinations of compounds.
- The company Natural Machines and the Heat and Mass Transfer Technological Centre (CTTC-UPC) at the UPC have completed the EFICIENT3D project, during which a low-energy cooking system was developed by integrating advanced heat transfer technologies into the 3D food printer, Foodini, commercialised by Natural Machines.
- Every year, over four million patients acquire an infection associated with a hospital stay, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control and the World Health Organisation. The data indicate that the impact of these infections has led to direct or indirect mortality of 137,000 patients and a cost of seven billion euros annually.
