The Fourth Industrial Revolution It is changing the way production processes work and, therefore, the way business is done. The time has come to shape the future of manufacturing, betting on innovation and building more prosperous and sustainable industrial enterprises and societies.

Innovators, small and medium-sized enterprises, and large industrial conglomerates are collaborating beyond geographical and physical barriers to drive the development of this sector. A prime example of this is one of the latest projects in which Horizon and the Azulae Group are actively involved.

Horizon is present in the creation of the first industrial building constructed in the Southwest European Logistics Platform (PLSWE) A project of the multinational Monliz Spain, based on new technologies and driven by the Industry 4.0.

This week Testing of the facilities has begun of the logistics platform in Badajoz. An 11,000 square meter warehouse where high-tech systems will operate at low temperatures (-22 degrees Celsius) regardless of the outside ambient temperature. An ambitious and demanding objective that is progressing by leaps and bounds.

How do you approach a project of this size?

Horizon works on three fundamental axes: Industry 4.0, Project Management and Technology.

Communications and networks within the industry are evolving from Operational Technology  (OT) to Information Technology (ITEMOne of the biggest challenges for projects of this size is achieving the convergence of these two systems under optimal and highly efficient operation.

As the technology providers for the Monliz project, the Horizon team has focused on developing and coordinating the technology implementation. Part of the work carried out involves the installation of servers and the creation of the data center, designing and implementing the connectivity that communicates the robots wireless, define and implement barcodes for tracking systems and Big Data, actively participate in the development of software and ensure compliance with the quality and safety standardsof the project.

What is the true value of the technology provider?

A good technology provider helps companies achieve their most demanding goals on time and in the right way, with the highest possible security and quality.

Projects of this type require months of research, coordination, execution, and monitoring. Success hinges on understanding both the project's needs and the suppliers' requirements, in order to mitigate risks and resolve issues efficiently.

The real value lies in mastering the latest technologies to manage and coordinate each of the suppliers involved in the process, ensuring the proper functioning of the system.

With a team of highly qualified and specialized professionals, Horizon focuses all its resources on project management and technological consulting with a global vision, focused on achieving its client's objective.

Manufacturing processes are an important part of the global economy, generating a large volume of capital. Digitalization and globalization represent a significant business opportunity for the industrial sector.
