ZAYER INVESTS IN VIXION CONNECTED FACTORY, BECOMING ITS INDUSTRIAL PARTNER AND THUS REINFORCING ITS COMMITMENT TO DIGITALIZATION AND INDUSTRY 4.0.

Zayer, an advanced technology machine tool company with more than 60 years of experience, has become a shareholder of Vixion, with the aim of bringing speed and providing the company with technical momentum and critical knowledge of the sector, focusing on the exploitation of data. In addition, this operation reinforces the technology that Vixion has been developing since its inception and consolidates its position as a technology partner in the machine tool sector.

Zayer has been committed to Industry 4.0 since 2014, investing in its own R&D and in collaboration with other relevant players in the sector. However, it has been in the last 3 years that its machines have become more than just excellent milling machines and machining centers, having equipped them with the intelligence that data can provide. For this reason, it has opted for a data-oriented architecture in its machines, which allows it to acquire and process the necessary data to be able to offer better machines that, together with its predictive maintenance technology, offer guarantees and significant savings for its customers.

Thanks to the framework agreement reached between the two parties two years ago, Zayer has moved towards connecting all its machines to Horus NX, the advanced and adapted version of the solution marketed by Vixion, which has become Zayer's exclusive 4.0 supplier.

Vixion, one of UPTEK's startups supported by Tecnalia Ventures, was created at the end of 2017 and, since then, pursues the goal of bringing technology closer to the industrial fabric (regardless of the sector), developing connectivity solutions for industrial machines and production plants, both manufacturers and users of the same, regardless of brand, CNC or PLC model.

Vixion identifies machine behavior by monitoring the most relevant parameters, combining real-time signals with historical data and, above all, the know-how acquired during more than a decade of research applied to the machine tool sector, in collaboration with the main manufacturers in the sector, such as Zayer, Ibarmia and Nicolás Correa, among others.
