Lantek and Ikerlan work in partnership to develop agentic AI to strengthen technological capabilities which could benefit manufacturing
Lantek, a major software company specialising in the sheet metal industry, and the Basque technology centre IKERLAN, based in Spain, are collaborating on the GALAXIA project, an R & D initiative aimed at developing an industrial agentic AI architecture.
This will be capable not only of analysing information but also of executing coordinated actions in real production environments, which could be beneficial to the sheet metal industry and other areas of manufacturing.
The GALAXIA project, supported by the Basque Government’ s HAZITEK programme, is developing a multiagent architecture which will enable organisations to retain control over their data, processes and knowledge.
The project marks progress toward technological sovereignty by promoting the local development of advanced artificial intelligence capabilities applied to industry. This approach reduces dependence on external technology platforms while ensuring control over critical data and processes.
Lantek acts as project coordinator, contributing its expertise in industrial software, advanced data exploitation and the development of intelligent assistants applied to production processes. IKERLAN participates as technological lead, bringing its broad multi-technology capabilities and experience in intelligent systems and applied industrial research.
GALAXIA represents a conceptual shift beyond traditional conversational AI models. It moves from systems that simply respond to queries toward architectures capable of acting, coordinating tasks and operating as a structured team within production processes.
The approach is based on agentic artificial intelligence, where
