Basque Industry 4.0 – The Meeting Point 2018

The technology centre IK4-TEKNIKER had a notable presence at the fifth edition of the Basque Industry 4.0 event, The Meeting Point 2018, which was held at the Palacio Euskalduna in Bilbao on the 26^th of November.

The technology centre imparted its expertise through different talks on sensorics, artificial intelligence and robotics as well as participated in an exhibition space where it was presented its capacities in additive manufacturing linked to Industry 4.0.

Specifically, the technology centre showed a series of parts manufactured using the Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technique, based on the fusion, by laser, of metal powder or wire injected onto the surface of a substrate in order to generate coatings and structures.

Laser as a vector in advanced manufacturing

Furthermore, the centre also featured in the event Laser for Manufacturing Lab, a laboratory which provides integral solutions aimed at resolving the specific requirements of advanced manufacturing in high-requirement sectors in terms of precision, quality, etc.

The proposal deals with different manufacturing processes; design and manufacturing of equipment and components, additive manufacturing; inspection and metrology and consultancy and training in laser technology.

Basque Industry 4.0 The Meeting Point

Organised by the Basque Government through the SPRI Group, Basque Industry 4.0 The Meeting Point has consolidated itself as a multidisciplinary event which brings together strategy, the exchange of knowledge, new technologies, real experiences, practical cases and workshops and is aimed at all agents linked with the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution.
