Vicomtech and Sisteplant strengthen their alliance with new advances in smart industrial digitalization

The Spanish industry continues to move towards more digital, efficient, and sustainable production models. In this context, Vicomtech and Sisteplant consolidate their collaboration through new technological developments and scientific results that demonstrate the potential of combining industrial experience with applied research.

Sisteplant contributes over four decades of deep knowledge of production processes and support for companies in their transformation. Vicomtech, on the other hand, brings expertise in artificial intelligence, computer vision, and advanced analytics tailored to industrial environments. Together, the teams are accelerating technology transfer towards real solutions that improve decision-making, increase productivity, and strengthen industrial competitiveness.

A notable scientific advance: joint publication in a Q1 journal

One of the most recent milestones of this collaboration is the publication of the article “Robust Concept Drift Handling in Dynamic Industrial Systems: A Multi-Objective Optimization Approach” in Knowledge-Based Systems, one of the most recognized journals internationally in Artificial Intelligence and Information Systems & Management.

The work, developed within the LABAIN (Hazitek Strategic) project, was authored by Vicomtech and Sisteplant researchers, including representatives from both organizations, and proposes an advanced approach to managing the dynamic evolution of industrial systems using optimization techniques and machine learning.

This scientific outcome strengthens the combined capability of both teams to generate high-impact knowledge that is also directly applied to real industrial applications.

Technology applied to the factory’s daily operations

The collaboration between Vicomtech and Sisteplant also translates into practical solutions addressing specific plant challenges. These include computer vision-based quality control systems, predictive tools to anticipate deviations on production lines, and analytical models aimed at improving operational efficiency.

These solutions help reduce unplanned downtime, optimize resources, improve traceability, and support data-driven decisions, shaping a stronger, more connected, and future-ready industry.

Commitment to the industry of the future

The alliance between Vicomtech and Sisteplant reflects a shared vision: supporting the Spanish industry in its transition to intelligent models where technology acts as a driver of competitiveness and sustainability.

Both organizations remain committed to working together on solutions that foster a new generation of factories that are more flexible, digital, and human-centered.
