R&D and manufacturing investment in the automotive sector is booming, learn about the latest technologies that can help you!
Current context
It is well known that the automotive sector is one of the main sectors within the context of Spanish industry. It makes up a large part of the national GDP and is a fundamental element in the Industry 4.0 process. Moreover, it is a sector with infinite possibilities for transformation and application of digitization solutions in its processes. From those directly related to manufacturing, to research, development or quality improvement.
"Investment in R&D&I by European automotive companies accounts for almost 30% of the sector's global costs and is the highest of all industries on the continent"

The processes involved in this sector require a great deal of control and compliance with specific regulations, which must be taken into account. There are tools that allow automating these processes, getting the most out of them and ensuring their quality. In this article we show you the main applications of our technology in the automotive sector. Don't miss all the details!
what if i decide to invest in r&d and manufacturing?
Testing products, materials, complete vehicles or some of their elements, with technologies applicable to manufacturing processes, quality control and R&D, such as environmental, mechanical, dynamic and structural testing, materials testing, electromobility, etc., is possible:
- See how they may react in certain situations
- Knowing what environmental conditions they will be subjected to
- To understand the qualities of materials and their behavior.
- Recognizing and sizing defects in specific parts
- Ensure compliance with specific regulations for each case.
"The path of innovation is fundamentally focused on creating transport that is less energy-dependent and much more sustainable, with greener, interconnected and intelligent vehicles."
- MITMA, Government of Spain
There are other technologies that can be used in manufacturing and quality processes, such as artificial vision systems, sensing and calibration, predictive asset monitoring, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, which can be used in the manufacturing process:
- Increase process quality and efficiency through remote monitoring of assets
- Improve plant safety and minimize travel by expert personnel
- Detect defective parts and reduce unexpected production downtime
- Become more efficient by automating processes and reducing maintenance times
- Increasing productivity, knowledge retention and improving material stock management
Those sensor and calibration technologies are also applicable to R&D environments, along with certain data acquisition systems, crash, noise and vibration testing, and EMC. These can help to evaluate and optimize the performance of vehicle restraint and passive safety systems, to ensure the existence of electromagnetic compatibility between different components, among others.
