  • Fagor Automation strengthens its commitment to technological innovation by promoting the development of connectivity in its machines, a key factor in Industry 4.0.
  • The goal of the project is to equip machines manufactured by the cooperative with a control interface that is simpler, more customizable and better connected, thanks to open technologies.
  • The project, set to last for at least two years, stresses collaboration among companies in the ICT and Basque industrial sectors.
