Digital transformation is advancing at an unstoppable pace, and companies that want to remain competitive need to optimize their internal processes. In this context, workflow automation (also known as workflows) has become an essential tool to increase efficiency and improve the quality of results.

The sustainable textile industry has become a global imperative. Regulatory pressure, consumer demands and sustainability objectives mean that factories must evolve towards more efficient digital models.

The integration of CAD, ERP and document management is one of the pillars of the digital factory. In many industrial companies, design, administrative management and technical documentation work in silos or watertight compartments, leading to data duplication, errors, delays and cost overruns.

Metal additive manufacturing, better known as metal 3D printing, is transforming the way factories design and produce industrial components. In the era of Industry 4.0, this technology not only enables the creation of complex, customised parts, but, integrated with ERP, MES and cybersecurity, it gives companies full control over costs, traceability and quality.

Few words generate as much rejection in a plant as "shrinkage". They are losses. Sometimes visible, sometimes invisible. And although they are taken for granted in day-to-day industrial life, they have a direct and often silent impact on companies' profit margins.

The textile industry is at a historic crossroads. Globalisation, the rise of textile e-commerce, the pressure of sustainability, and the demands of an increasingly demanding consumer are forcing companies to reinvent themselves. In this scenario, digital transformation in the textile sector is not an option, but a necessary path to remain competitive.

The metal and machinery industry is at a turning point. Global competition, pressure to reduce costs and the need to meet increasingly demanding quality standards have placed digital transformation at the center of many companies' strategies.

The plastics and packaging sector is undergoing a profound transformation. The demands of the circular economy, regulatory pressure and the demand for more conscious customers are pushing companies to rethink their processes.

The food industry is one of the most demanding and regulated sectors in the world. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that are part of this production chain face increasing challenges every day: meeting strict regulations, ensuring the traceability of each batch and reducing costs in an increasingly competitive market.

The textile and fashion industry is undergoing a digital transformation. Consumers demand speed, transparency and sustainability, while companies face challenges such as shorter production cycles, cost control and omnichannel retailing.
