What is Industry 4.0 anyway?
The term refers to the gradual combination of traditional manufacturing and industrial practices with digital technologies.
While many companies struggle to keep afloat and deal with the day to day pressures of meeting targets, keeping up with technological trends is not easy, especially when the hype around Industry 4.0 and the like is considerable.
MAP has been involved in Industry 4.0 initiatives since the term was first invented at the Hannover Messe in 2011. We have Catalan Government certification as “assessors” in the field of Operations, Technology, and Industry 4.0.
Typically we help clients map out their Industry 4.0 roadmap, within a pragmatic framework, according to the overall business strategic goals.
