Manufacturing Industry 4.0.
Barcelona is a city with a long industrial tradition, whose businesses have been essential in diversifying its economic activities, generating innovation and added value and creating employment. There is a strong presence of industry-related services in the city and it is home to important hubs for this type of activity, such as logistics, product handling, packaging or industrial product-associated technology. In this context, industry 4.0 seeks to respond to the increased digitalisation of the economy and society and is basically structured around the use of technological advances and the development of communication systems, with a view to sharing real-time information on each of the manufacturing processes employed by companies. Often considered the 'fourth industrial revolution', Industry 4.0 reflects the current transformation of industry, encompassing both large and small firms, to respond to the emerging needs of society using the most recent technological developments.
