Digital transformation has given rise to a series of new production processes and greater complexity in product development, behavior simulation and integration of supply chains for decision-making, performance assessment, optimization and adaptation of the most varied processes.
The CCG/ZGDV Institute invests in innovation in the manufacturing industry and processes through the transfer, development, and implementation of innovative technologies to optimize production processes, reduce costs, and improve quality control. This is complemented by training within organizations to adopt and integrate these technologies into their operations. The digital and green transition is fundamental for this sector.
