Description


Information systems are an essential element to support the processes of an industrial company: from product sales, production, supply chain, storage, quality control to logistics.

Currently, these most common management systems are being integrated with new technologies such as IIoT, Digital Twin, Virtual / Augmented Reality that enable companies to transform digital industries and intelligent manufacturing in real time.

In this subject, the main technologies and methodologies that support the management of this set of processes involved in the industrial company are studied.

To understand these support tools and how they help address the challenges of industrial companies, we will work on a set of use cases that can later be implemented in marketable solutions through a demonstration performed directly by the software manufacturer.

A consulting vision will be provided to be able to lead the implementation of information systems in an industrial company.
