Digital Transformation Solutions
The company's commitment to digitalization has been reflected with an increase of 24.7% in the Digital Transformation solutions division. The mission is to realize Smart & Digital Factory while implementing an integral management model for manufacturing and the company. Growth of 16% in subscriptions for updates and technical assistance is also worth highlighting. New Cloud applications and the SaaS model drive the deployment of this model.

An extremely positive sign is the considerable growth in markets that already had significant volume. This includes geographical regions like France, Germany, Spain, Korea, Italy and the USA with ratios near 35%, some reaching 50% (France and Germany). China is full of great expectations in terms of growth. The Chinese metal industry has firmly committed to Industry 4.0 and is becoming the driving force for the Digital Transformation and Advanced Manufacturing Solutions area. In many industrial companies, Lantek software has come to occupy a prominent place in the digitalization of their plants. It interconnects their systems, machines, and processes, and supports decision-making based on data.

Lantek's commitment to innovation is one of the main reasons for the growth the company is experiencing. Last year, the investment in R&D and Innovation was around $3.2 million, which constituted an increase of 15% compared to the previous year. The aim of this investment is to launch innovative solutions in the area of advanced manufacturing. Lantek's focus on the metal sector subsequently supports operational growth and excellence in the automotive, aeronautics, railway, and naval sectors, among others.

The company develops its innovations under the concept of extended digital transformation. This is consistent in creating collaborative environments with clients, suppliers, and the market in order to grow as technological partners. Hence, the company is launching an advanced Manufacturing Execution System (MES), basing decision-making on data analysis.
