At ASTI, R+D+i represents the foundations of our activity. Year after year, ASTI invests strongly in research and development in order to keep our automation solutions at the forefront of technology.
In 2010 the R+D+i work was focused on the creation of an exclusive research department, as part of our commitment to excellence and continuous improvement of our products and services centred on our customers’ needs. These needs are complemented by collaborations with research centres, universities and other entities such as the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany, CDTI (“Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial”) or ADE (“Agencia de Desarrollo Económico”).
As a result of the research effort, revolutionary systems such as the dual guidance system for AGVs or the EasyBot model range are born, both granted with innovation awards.
