Digital transformation, the road to future plants

 

Hacia las plantas del futuro

 

Teknia merges technological innovation and advanced manufacturing in a single area. This step will unify the company’s current technology directions and boost Teknia’s R&D development.

In this way, Mario Martín, who until now was Teknia’s Advanced Manufacturing Director, will also coordinate the company’s R&D strategy, through product and process innovation; operational efficiency, with projects for continuous improvement and optimisation of production systems and Industry 4.0; and the implementation and development of information systems.

Operational excellence: new incorporations to lead Lean and Industry 4.0

Along with the unification of the company’s different technological departments, Teknia will also incorporate new profiles. These include the position of Operational Excellence Manager, responsible for the implementation of continuous improvement projects in the 23 plants owned by the company in 13 countries.

With this new area, Teknia seeks to serve the group’s plants to promote the achievement of Teknia’s short and medium-term goals, ensuring the company’s position at the forefront of technology.

A new plan for process automation and efficiency gains

Together with a corporate reorganisation, this commitment is accompanied by a digitalisation master plan to increase the process automation, with different initiatives to impact all business areas (production, maintenance, plant safety, quality, inventory management, energy efficiency, cross-cutting, etc.).

Mario Martín

“With this reorganisation, Teknia intends to develop a better interrelation between current technologies and those required by our customers in the future in order to increase our added value. This union facilitates the implementation of digitalisation initiatives that will allow us to be more competitive and efficient.”
