Control and Monitoring

The increasing demand of competitiveness demanded from products and processes requires the application of advanced technologies to monitor and control the operation of a system or process, with the purpose of improving its availability, safety, reliability, quality and operating features. In this area, we investigate to develop solutions that allow the control of the activity of a product or process in a comprehensive and efficient manner in multiple platforms. With the monitoring technologies, we are aware of the state and evolution of components, systems and processes, being able to foresee and avoid failures that could cause high repairing costs and disruptions in the business activity. Through the implementation of applicable algorithms, it is even possible to adjust the parameters that have anomalies, with the purpose of ensuring their correct operation.

Technologies we employ
