15 March, 2024The European University of Madrid has intensified its focus on advanced manufacturing education by collaborating with Bossard Spain to create an innovative Industry 4.0 laboratory. This learning centre focuses on equipping students with the practical and theoretical skills needed to thrive in a working environment marked by digitalisation and automation.
Aware of the rapid technological evolution and digital transformation that is reshaping the manufacturing sector, the academic institution seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The deputy director of the Industrial Engineering area, Verónica Egido, underlined the importance of integrating industrial reality into academic training, something that has been made possible thanks to the partnership with Bossard Spain, a leader in advanced technology solutions.
The laboratory, a joint initiative between academia and industry, symbolises a step forward towards a more integrated education adapted to the challenges of the fourth industrial revolution. It is equipped with the latest technology in industrial automation and allows students to carry out internships in key areas such as industrial process control, cybersecurity, robot programming, and much more, preparing them for a variety of fields within industrial engineering.
For his part, Antonio García, CEO of Bossard Spain, expressed his company's commitment to educational and technological innovation. Bossard's donation of an advanced logistics system not only reflects this commitment but also highlights the importance of partnerships between industry and academia for the development of future professionals.
The partnership between the European University of Madrid and Bossard Spain underlines an educational model that seeks not only to impart theoretical knowledge, but also to provide practical experience and direct access to cutting-edge technologies. This not only enriches students' educational experience but also effectively prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of modern industry.
