GMV recently participated in a 3-day event organized by Cepsa at its facilities in Algeciras, Huelva, and Madrid. Held under the title of “IoT Days”, the goal was to familiarize the company’s employees with Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and their various applications. GMV took part in each of the three sessions, by presenting demonstrations that highlighted the potential of IoT in the areas of robotics and automation.

During the IoT Days event, the team from GMV gave two demonstrations to Cepsa’s employees. The first was focused on the collaborative robot (“cobot”) that Cepsa is now using in its laboratory at the La Rábida Energy Park in Palos de la Frontera, near the city of Huelva. This cobot is automating the sample assessment process there, and it represents a new innovation milestone and one of GMV’s contributions to promoting the circular economy. The employees were able to get a first-hand look at how this cobot streamlines and optimizes the tasks it performs, highlighting the benefits of automation for increasing productivity and improving process safety and efficiency.

The second demonstration was centered on uPathWay, GMV’s outdoor robotics solution that allows for autonomous movement of a vehicle with no need for any modifications or additional installations. This system demonstrated the power of automation for performing multiple tasks from a cloud platform, such as inspecting assets at a production plant or transporting samples. The employees were able to observe how the robot independently navigated within the designated zones while performing inspections and capturing valuable data, all as a way to improve safety and reduce the need for human intervention in potentially hazardous environments.

By participating in Cepsa’s IoT Days, GMV was able give the employees there a closer look at IoT technologies and robotics, along with more detailed knowledge about their capabilities and potential benefits for the company. These demonstrations provided tangible examples of how IoT technologies can revolutionize industrial processes, increase productivity, and improve overall operational efficiency.

GMV’s experience with developing and implementing advanced automation solutions, combined with its focus on IoT, made the company an ideal partner for participation in Cepsa’s IoT Days. The event served as a platform for exchanging knowledge, while emphasizing the value of collaborations between technology providers and industry leaders for promoting innovation and digital transformation.
