“ We were seeing things as solutions that were isolating; what we are now seeing is a lifecycle as a whole thing.” The focus is now on the value chain, the whole links; we want to be present in the whole process from the beginning, the design phase to the very end; a full life cycle of the service / product, not isolated. The value added is for customers through partnerships. He added,“ We are together with you; it ' s about trust, working together. Ultimately, the value does not lie in the machine itself, but in its behavior over the years. And that requires a different way of collaborating.”
Regarding governance of automation, Torres said there are many questions about“ Who answers when an automated system makes a decision within complex tolerances? How is a process validated when part of the judgment is embedded in software, sensors, and algorithms? What does‘ experience’ mean when it no longer resides solely in people, but also in models, rules, and trained systems?” He said the questions aren’ t futuristic as they are already being asked today.
MTorres plans, designs, and delivers complex manufacturing lines and complete production plants, integrating advanced technologies and providing ongoing support to ensure efficient operations and high customer satisfaction. Torres concluded,“ Decisions cannot be delegated or postponed without cost. Automation is not acceleration; it is stabilization. It does not replace people; it protects the system from its own fragility, derived from excessive dependence on specific individuals, undocumented knowledge, and non-repeatable processes.” He said automation cannot be delayed:“ It is an industrial responsibility that must be assumed from the very beginning of each program.”
