We prepare, we anticipate

At NaN-tic, we never miss an opportunity to improve our understanding of what is happening in the business world. Throughout the year, we take part in a large number of events, conferences and workshops that enable us to identify market trends, working methodologies and innovative technologies to improve business productivity.

In recent weeks, for example, we took part in the ON Conferences in Castelldefels. These were three days devoted to bringing the business sector in the Llobregat area into contact with research and investigation. More specifically, the aim was to take advantage of the research initiatives launched by the area's universities, the UPC and the UOC among others, in order to bring what is being investigated in the laboratory into the business environment.

We were also present at Advanced Factories 2019, Europe's largest international forum on Industry 4.0, held in Barcelona. Some of the companies with the continent's most cutting-edge and innovative technologies and production models gathered there, and many interesting talks and activities were held for companies that are committed to automating processes and improving productivity.

Along the same lines, we also attended the first CCA® Controllers Meeting for SMEs held in Catalonia and organised by PIMEC. The controller is no longer a professional found exclusively in large companies, as an increasing number of small and medium-sized businesses are incorporating this profile into their management and planning teams. This interesting forum served to show how controlling can help improve management, planning, executive management and efficiency in companies, increasing sales and reducing costs and margins.

This, precisely, is a topic of particular interest to NaN-tic. We are constantly designing and implementing solutions for our clients in this area. A good example is the intelligent stock management system, based on a machine learning system, which makes it possible to optimise warehouses and distribution centres to the greatest possible extent. Another example is the solution deployed at Sant Andreu Salut, a hospital centre in Manresa, to improve the control and internal flows of materials between the different work units.
