AIIRM names us Best Engineering Project at the Regional Industry and Energy Awards 2019
The Association of Industrial Engineers of the Region of Murcia (AIIRM) has recognized the pioneering nature of our Smart Factory Ilboc project, awarding IDEA the Best Engineering Project Award 2019.
At IDEA, we add a new acknowledgement to our effort to bring the engineering of the future to the present:we have been awarded the prize in the category of Best Engineering Project, which is presented as a great initiative within the Region of Murcia.
On this occasion, the prize has been awarded to us thanks to our Smart Factory project for Ilboc. The digitalization of its plant in Murcia and the acquisition of a digital twin in which the processes of the same are presented with constant updating could not have been done without the constant support of our client, a reference in the innovation 4.0 as well as IDEA.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time that we have obtained acknowledgements thanks to this project. Last September, the General Council of Official Associations of Industrial Engineers (CGCOII) awarded us with the National Industrial Engineering Award 2019 in the category of Best Engineering Project.
