Aggity brings to advanced factories 2023 the only Industry 4.0 platform that integrates energy management into manufacturing management
First deployments, in automotive and pharma, show that Smart Factory by aggity increases OEE by up to 16% and reduces energy consumption by up to 15%. Companies that traditionally did not consider energy a critical factor (around 10% of manufacturing costs) have seen this item double or even triple and devour their margins. Madrid, April 17, 2023.- The Spanish technology multinational aggity brings to the Advanced Factories (AF2023) trade show, held in Barcelona from April 18 to 20, the only Industry 4.0 platform capable of integrating energy management with manufacturing management, a priority in the industrial sector in the face of the exponential increase in energy prices and regulatory standards and requirements in terms of environmental sustainability. In partnership with Sener engineering, aggity is thus promoting hyper-industrialization as a solution to the context of inflation and loss of margins, and is at the forefront of Sustainable Industry 4.0, which, according to the company, is an imperative for all industrial companies. aggity’s solution is aimed both at companies with high energy consumption (more than 50% of manufacturing costs), and at those companies that traditionally have not considered energy as a critical factor, as it represents a smaller percentage of costs (around 10%) and that, with the increase in prices, have seen this item double or even triple and «devour» their margins. aggity’s Sustainable Industry 4.0 proposal integrates energy management throughout the entire production cycle, from planning to logistics, and the energy parameter is one more component of the different solutions grouped in its Smart Factory by aggity platform, from PlanetTogether advanced planning software or APS (Advanced Planning & Scheduling), its MES (Manufacturing Execution System), Opera MES with aggity, and the advanced analytics solution IA & Analytics Factory by aggity. aggity’s platform incorporates the energy vector in the planning to optimize manufacturing and factory sequencing so that production is carried out in the time slots with the lowest energy costs or that the manufacture of certain products, with higher energy consumption, is carried out in the most energy efficient manufacturing lines. In the field of factory management, Opera MES with aggity is able, for example, to identify abnormal consumption situations, trigger an alarm and act on them; and in terms of analytics, thanks to the AI & Analytics Factory by aggity solution, manufacturing and business plant managers can, based on manufacturing plans, and also based on demand forecasting, make energy consumption predictions to make informed and intelligent decisions. These capabilities enable manufacturing plants to increase efficiency, raise productivity and reduce costs. In fact, the first deployments, in companies in the automotive and pharmaceutical sectors, show that Smart Factory by aggity increases OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) by up to 16% and reduces energy consumption and CO2 footprint by up to 15% and 21%, respectively. According to Pablo Gonzalez, CEO of aggity Spain, «Europe’s commitment to reindustrialization after the Covid-19 pandemic has been strengthened after the outbreak of war in Ukraine and requires, as has become clearly evident over the last year, a new energy model». «The industrial sector,» Gonzalez continues, «is a very important part of the industrial sector. «is obliged to open the radius of action and move to a hyper industry, which implies adopting a new model that must consider, along with the use of sustainable energy generation sources (photovoltaic, generation, etc.), with the investments that this entails, the alternative of raising the efficiency of existing assets, systems and processes to increase efficiency and be smarter in energy consumption.» According to Ignacio Tornos, Head of Business Development in the Industrial Sector at aggity, «the increase in energy costs is a problem of such magnitude that it puts the survival of industrial companies at risk». «Industries with high energy consumption already have quite a way to go in Sustainable Industry 4.0, but today.» -adds Tornos».most industrial and manufacturing plants in which energy management is still carried out, in isolation, by the purchasing, maintenance or engineering departments, and rarely by production when, in practice, it is the main consumer and maximum efficiency at the lowest cost is demanded». Talent in Sustainable Industry 4.0 In this sense, the triangle systems, processes and people is the basis of aggity’s vision of Sustainable Industry 4.0, which maintains a strong commitment to the development of professional talent to design, implement and operate solutions that apply advanced data analytics to overcome challenges in the industrial environment. To this end, aggity, together with the Big Data Institute of the Carlos III University of Madrid, has developed a hybrid training program in advanced analytics. The Executive Program Big Manufacturing Analytics, whose enrollment is open and is specifically aimed at professionals responsible for operation and management processes in the industrial sector.

Good business performance in Latin America The good performance of the business in Latin America was another of the foundations for aggity’s growth in 2022. This market, in which the company, as mentioned above, doubled its turnover in 2021, has continued to maintain good growth in 2022 (+16.3%). aggity consolidated its presence in this geographic area through the acquisition of three companies highly focused on the development of cybersecurity solutions, both in Mexico and Peru. It should be recalled that aggity acquired Sistemas Avanzados de Seguridad Informática (SASI), focused on securing business operations; MEXIS, an expert in cybersecurity and management of technological infrastructures and with its own cybersecurity center for the identification and eradication of vulnerabilities from which the Spanish multinational offers global cybersecurity services; and Necsia Perú (aggity Perú), also specialized in the development of cybersecurity solutions.

ONLY 7% OF B2C COMPANIES INTERACT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS IN A PERSONALIZED AND REAL-TIME MANNER THROUGH PHYSICAL AND DIGITAL CHANNELS CMO Council and RedPoint study reveals that only 5% of marketing managers are satisfied with the outcome of their marketing IT investments Personalized, omnichannel interaction with customers offers companies an average retention rate of 89%, which drops to 33% for those without this capability Madrid, November 15, 2017 – Only 7% of companies are able to interact with customers in real time, in a personalized way and through all types of channels, both physical and digital. Of the rest, 24% have already started to interact in real time with customers, but only through digital channels. The reasons for this situation are diverse and include the current technological infrastructure of the companies. In fact, only 5% of marketing executives are satisfied with the outcome of their IT investments in marketing, data analytics, engagement and customer relationships, and only 16% express satisfaction with their organizations’ work to improve customer insight and relationships. Thus, 54% consider the budget allocated to these applications to be insufficient and 31% point out that the information in the customer databases is scarce or inadequate. This is despite the fact that, in the last five years, 42% of companies have installed at least 10 solutions for these functions; another 33% have installed between 5 and 10; and 44% have allocated at least 25% of their marketing budget to replacing one technology with another. The data comes from the study «Empowering The Data-Driven Customer Strategy», conducted by the international network of marketing executives CMO Council and the multinational RedPoint, with the aim of analyzing the ability of companies to develop business strategies based on deep customer knowledge, create strong and lasting relationships (engagement) and execute multichannel and real-time marketing interactions and campaigns, with a high level of automation. The study also reveals the poor ability of companies to measure the business impact of marketing and customer interaction actions. In fact, 28% simply say they can’t, 36% measure on rare occasions and from very specific interaction channels, another 30% have manual reporting systems, and only 5% claim to have access to this data at the click of a button and in real time. More loyal and higher-value customers The analysis also shows that personalized, omnichannel interaction with customers offers companies an average customer retention ratio of 89%, a percentage that drops to 33% for companies that do not have this capability. In this regard, it should be noted that 40% of consumers recognize that they buy more from brands that provide a personalized shopping experience and interaction and, in addition, the duration of their engagement with these brands is 30% higher. On the other hand, 86% of customers would pay more in exchange for a better customer experience and 79% would not consider buying from companies that do not actively demonstrate, in advance, that they understand and care for their customers. According to Oscar Pierre, president and CEO of aggity, «to grow in the digital age you have to engage with customers, establish a continuous dialogue with relevant and timely messages, interact across many communication channels and create compelling experiences.» «To make it possible,» Pierre adds. «it is vital to intelligently orchestrate data and have analytics tools in place to deliver personalized, consistent and seamless interaction across all channels and devices.» aggity designs and executes omnichannel communication strategies that engage customers through the most appropriate channel and with the relevant offer to attract, retain and increase customer loyalty and value. To expand the scope of these services, the company has reached a strategic agreement with RedPoint Global, through which it markets exclusively in Spain, Portugal and Mexico its solutions for the development of intelligent, omnichannel and fully customized marketing campaigns.

Santa Tecla SocioSanitary Group chooses aggity’s technology
It will use the GTT Digital by aggity solution, in its app version for Android and iOS. THE SANTA TECLA HEALTH CARE GROUP CHOOSES AGGITY’S TECHNOLOGY FOR THE SOCIAL MANAGEMENT OF ITS 3,000 PROFESSIONALS It will be the first organization in our country to use this collaborative technology that allows decentralizing the management of work groups and even their self-management with the active participation of its members. The Santa Tecla healthcare partner group, comprising 50 centers and 3,000 professionals, has chosen aggity technology for the daily management of its human resources. According to the signed agreement, Santa Tecla’s professionals will use the GTT Digital by aggity solution, in its app version (Android and iOS), making it the first organization in our country to use this collaborative technology that allows decentralizing the management of work groups and even their self-management, with the active participation of its members. The new solution will be used for different aspects of daily operations, such as confidential and private communication, processing of legal documentation, contracts, assignment of shifts or vacation periods in an agile and secure way. This new tool will complement the GTT solution, which the hospital group has already been using for years to manage working time and schedule planning. The agreement is the first signed by aggity, after the presentation, last March, of a new generation of digital management and Social Business solutions, inspired by widely used collaborative tools such as WhatsApp, Facebook or LinkedIn, which significantly shortens the time of adoption and use of these solutions in organizations. With this agreement, aggity begins the conversion to this new digital and collaborative environment of the more than half a million professionals currently managed with the classic version of GTT. According to Oscar Pierre, CEO of aggity, «our goal is the evolution of this workforce to this new digital environment, with which Spain would become a leading country in the use of this new generation of Social Business solutions for management». In fact, of the more than 40 companies currently using the GTT solution, more than 75% have already expressed their interest in promoting the adoption of the GTT Digital app among their professionals because of the advantages it brings, such as greater agility in decision-making, greater efficiency and productivity, as well as an exponential improvement in communication. Likewise, and according to Xavier Singla, Manager of Management and Quality Analysis of the Santa Tecla Network, «with GTT and its integration with the new GTT Digital by aggity we make a qualitative leap in the management of human capital, since the agility provided by the solution allows us to drastically reduce decision-making times, which is vital when you offer services to people». «But the most important thing,» Singla adds, «is that we have managed to involve the professionals of the centers in their own management, which represents an unprecedented milestone because of the optimization it implies for our organization from all points of view.» The GTT Digital by aggity app, available for Android and iOS, allows middle managers and workers to make daily operational decisions and maintain real-time knowledge and control of work times and shifts, as well as the composition, if any, of work teams, with the possibility of interacting with each other. Likewise, it enables communication and collaboration among the professionals that make up the social ecosystem of the organization. GTT Digital by aggity also integrates Social Business by aggity, a set of private, secure and confidential collaborative communication tools, developed under the philosophy of the social applications currently most used by users, which guarantees its rapid adoption and usability compared to the complexity of the so-called corporate intranets. Thanks to the decentralization of management and the possibilities of self-management, this solution not only speeds up these processes, but also reduces the time spent on administrative tasks by around 50%, optimizes the costs associated with these tasks by 35% and, as a key indicator, significantly improves the experience and level of satisfaction of professionals.
Big Data, Internet of Things and Cloud: closer to Industry 4.0
Augmented reality, human-robot collaboration, artificial intelligence and avatars are some of the symbols that are beginning to appear on the horizon of Industry 4.0. As we move towards this new reality, the most evident progress in all types of companies has been made thanks to the arrival of a new generation of software that allows us to optimize our management and reduce energy and maintenance costs. Although they often appear in hybrid form, we present a categorization of the three main trends in the market: Big data. Analytics based on huge data sets has become the great competitive advantage of recent years. New computer programs convert the deluge of data around us into useful and valuable information. These analyses help to optimize the management of customer management systems, human resources and production processes: they identify possible unexploited niches, ways to improve, prevent errors and, in short, support better decision-making in real time. This new enterprise resource planning is known as ERP. Internet of Things or the digital interconnection of everyday objects through the Internet. Until now, companies have only connected certain equipment to the grid, usually subject to a system for controlling the manufacturing process or monitoring energy expenditure. But with the Industry 4.0 Internet of Things, this process extends to all devices, which are already starting to communicate and interact with each other to improve the functioning of the entire system. For example, we will be able to know which appliances are on or off at all times, or which foods are about to expire. Another advantage is related to the geolocation of objects: the misplacement of our products, on sale or in stock, will be a thing of the past. The cloud. More and more companies are turning to cloud-based solutions for some business and analytics applications, but Industry 4.0 will require more data sharing across geographically separated sites. As a result, we are moving to a new business space characterized by teleworking and telemanagement that allows energy cost savings and, in many cases, more flexible working hours that can be adapted to personal conditions. As the performance of cloud technologies improves, more and more production systems will become cloud-based. In conclusion, the world has changed and is becoming more and more digital and intelligent. Users have surpassed the advances and management of technologies and companies, if they want to be part of the world that embraces customers, must get on board the boat of digital transformation, Big data and the Internet of Things.
