Imecnor Ibérica was born more than 3 years ago with its technical office, a lot of effort, illusions, joys and disappointments. In the course of these years we have had a normal internal evolution of any start-up company.
We start with Machine Safety and University Technical Academy.
We currently provide our customers with the entire industrial life cycle: from design, through retrofitting, the manufacture of special machines and large-scale conveyors, turnkey robotic cells and combined machine vision applications in several of the above, to the commissioning of industrial plants and equipment. Electrification works are one of our current niches in full development.
For all this we have more than 1000m2 of facilities in Porriño, Pontevedra.
Why did you decide to go for Mindtech in its fourth edition in 2025?
Trade fairs are undoubtedly the visibility events par excellence. Mindtech, in particular, is in a strategic place and at a strategic time to reach the Central American and Central European markets, which are our targets for 26-27.
We have an excellent relationship with the organisation, as it cannot be otherwise since Asime has excellent professionals who look after each and every one of its members; and this is not a figure of speech, it is the reality.
What is the added value for your company to participate in this fair?
Imecnor works conscientiously to bring together design, robotics and computing to build an industry where the challenges for the company are more affordable. Our technical office works daily to create the environments, machines and robotic cells for which our customers contract us, with the most demanding market standards in sectors whose focus is wood processing, plastic injection in the automotive industry, heavy vehicle bodies, quality control and conveyors in iron, steel and aluminium.
For the last two years we have been innovating in energy transformation, fatigue failure of rotating machines and precision handling with patents in these areas that allow us to maintain a certain market strategy, humbly of course.
What will you present at Mindtech 2025?
We will present a reduced and attractive version of a cell for the calculation of the dynamic fatigue limit and, therefore, of the prediction of the estimated life cycles of a large rotating machine scaled by artificial vision, among other methods and, of course, statistically bounded.
What do you think is the differential value of the metallurgical industry and its associated technologies in the Iberian Pole in particular?
The whole industry is based on metal: plastics, chemicals, wood, etc. Galicia is fundamental.
What challenges do you see facing the industry today?
Undoubtedly the The transition towards the integration of electromechanical systems with the introduction of robots is a challenge as education and the assimilation of the knowledge necessary to develop the requirements of the leading markets. is not realistic to the demand of these markets, i.e., there is a desire and forecasts that lack the full introduction of the human factor, which is the one that must carry out the developments that large companies request; therefore now, at least for us, we work with realistic deadlines according to the capacities that the company’s teams have to develop the requests of our clients, although I recognise that it has cost us to some extent to curb our desire to grow in order to adapt to our structural reality.
Let’s be more cautious, no doubt about it.
What is needed to meet these challenges and maintain the industry’s competitiveness?
It is clear to us that a better quality of life for workers in companies that are opting for automation with robots.
The fact that good design includes security, reliability and defect prediction will also result in a better use of business resources and, as a consequence, competitiveness will be enhanced by the amount of data that organisations consciously handle. This can be a good thing if it is put to good use, of course, but one must be very cautious.
Professionalism, learning ability and empathy. The person who is going to join any company must have strong moral values, a high capacity for adaptation and versatility and impeccable customer service, whatever department they are in.
