Why did you decide to go for Mindtech in its fourth edition in 2025?

We consider Mindtech to be the benchmark trade fair for industrial activity in Galicia and we believe that we should be part of it given our vocation to serve and support all potential customers who need innovative solutions to improve their Productivity, Efficiency and Cybersecurity (IT and OT).

What is the added value for your company to participate in this fair?

To make ourselves known within the Galician industrial sector, because despite being largely unknown, we are trusted suppliers of important clients such as Inditex or Xunta de Galicia.

What will you present at Mindtech 2025?

Our solutions are aligned with our purpose and oriented to:

  • Productivity

We help companies improve the processes associated with quality, maintenance, and production, with the aim of facilitating the digital transition to Industry 4.0, focusing on three aspects: Artificial intelligence (knowledge management and automation of administrative processes), user experience, and integration capabilities with the customer’s digital ecosystem.

In addition, through the MES EMI SUITE 4.0 solution from our partner SOINCON, we provide the infrastructure and integrate the tools for the management, control and monitoring of everything that happens in a production plant to achieve excellent organisation planning.

  • Efficiency

OKM (Oesía Knowledge Manager): Intelligent enterprise knowledge management system that allows users to have a precise and fast access to all the knowledge of the company (structured and unstructured information) through natural language and guaranteeing a secure access based on personalised permissions.

It considerably reduces time and effort when searching for information and facilitates decision-making in an agile and secure way.

NextPi: Intelligent platform that uses Generative AI to automate the classification, extraction and management of data (invoices, delivery notes, receipts, work orders, CVs, …), integrating them into Client Platforms through APIs. It includes dashboards and key indicators.

ODAF Data Analytics and Governance: Through governance and data analysis we develop Predictive Models to detect Behavioural Patterns that allow us to identify in advance situations that cause failures in the production process of a company, or to carry out simulations in advance to support decision making.

Intelligent access control system and PRL. This intelligent vision system is designed to optimise safety and management in industrial environments through the automatic detection of personal protective equipment (helmets, gloves, goggles, boots, waistcoats, masks, etc.), the generation of alarms in the event of risk situations, access control to hazardous areas and continuous monitoring of infrastructures. In addition, it allows the creation of automatic reports with detailed analysis and is easily integrated with existing security systems, such as CCTV cameras, enhancing its functionality without the need for large additional investments. An advanced solution to ensure personnel protection, operational efficiency and regulatory compliance.

  • Cybersecurity

OpenNAC tool to strengthen security through three key modules:

  • Detection, quantification and qualification of all devices connected to the corporate network, as well as cybersecurity breaches in IT, OT and IOT networks. Support in the authentication and segmentation of users and suppliers for the securisation and protection of production lines and critical machinery. Ensuring secure remote connection via VPN with two-factor authentication, posture assessment and continuous monitoring.

Preventive and proactive monitoring: of all your assets in real time in 24x7x365 mode and detection and management of incidents through our SOC in high availability in Spanish territory with more than 20 years of experience.NIS2 Compliance: We accompany clients in their process of adapting to compliance with these industrial regulations, as well as other national and international regulations that may be applicable (ISO2001, ISO223301, ENS, RGPD, LOPDGDD, among others), carrying out an Initial Audit to determine their current situation, the necessary measures to implement and subsequently accompanying them to certification, as well as continuous improvement and maintenance through periodic reviews.

Industrial pentesting: evaluation and penetration tests on hardware and communication devices designed and developed by customers and implemented in the machines or production lines they manufacture, in order to know their vulnerabilities and guarantee business continuity.

Preventive and proactive monitoring: of all your assets in real time in 24x7x365 mode and detection and management of incidents through our SOC in high availability in Spanish territory with more than 20 years of experience.

What do you think is the differential value of the metallurgical industry and its associated technologies in the Iberian Pole in particular?

Traditionally, Spain, Portugal and Morocco imported products and technology, but over the last 50 years they have managed to develop an Iberian industrial ecosystem (Companies and Associations, University, Technology Centres, Public Administration) that has been able to make the leap first to our neighbouring countries, then to the rest of Europe and finally to the rest of the world.

Therefore, it is necessary to highlight not one, but several values such as effort, tenacity, entrepreneurship and innovation capacity of entrepreneurs and workers that make up this ecosystem.
