On May 16th, the Kursaal in Donostia became the epicentre of industrial innovation with the celebration of the AFM STECH 2024 General Assembly and Advanced Manufacturing Day, an event organised by AFM, Advanced Manufacturing Technologies. This event brought together the main players in the machine-tool and advanced manufacturing technologies sector in Spain, providing a space to share experiences, learn about the latest trends, and reflect on the present and future of the industry.
An Essential Meeting for the Sector
AFM, the Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Machine Tools, Accessories, Components, and Tools, represents 90% of the machine tool and advanced manufacturing technologies companies in the country. Since its foundation, it has worked tirelessly to defend the interests of the sector, fostering institutional and business relationships to strengthen the competitiveness and technological development of its members.
The event was not only a meeting point for manufacturers and developers but also a forum to explore the challenges and opportunities that will shape the industry in the coming years. Among the main topics discussed were new trends in digitalisation, process optimisation, and the future of advanced manufacturing in a globalised context.

Technological Innovation at the Centre of the Debate
The advanced manufacturing industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Technologies such as artificial vision, image processing, pattern recognition, and neural networks are revolutionising production processes. In this context, Visio and Planeo by STT Systems have positioned themselves as a benchmark in the implementation of artificial vision and digitalisation solutions for various sectors, including automotive, railways, robotics, automation, packaging, and paper.

Our expertise in the development of automated tools through image processing has allowed us to stay at the forefront of the sector, optimising industrial processes, increasing precision, and reducing errors in automated production lines.
A Strategic Link with the Advanced Manufacturing Sector
Our participation in events organised by AFM STECH strengthens our connection with the advanced manufacturing sector and allows us to stay up to date with emerging trends and technologies. The 2024 General Assembly was a key opportunity to learn first-hand about the industry’s strategic advances, exchange experiences with other sector leaders, and explore new collaboration opportunities.
Networking and Synergies in a Global Environment
One of the great advantages of participating in the 2024 General Assembly and Advanced Manufacturing Day was the ability to share insights with other industry professionals, manufacturers, and technology developers. These types of events enable the identification of synergies, the exploration of new collaboration paths, and the anticipation of market needs.
These events reinforce our commitment to technological innovation and the development of advanced solutions. The artificial vision and custom software solutions we develop allow our clients to optimise their production processes, increase precision, and reduce operational costs.

Commitment to the Future of Advanced Manufacturing
We renew our commitment to technology and innovation. Being present at the 2024 General Assembly marks another step forward on our path towards leadership in a sector that is rapidly evolving towards digitalisation and process optimisation.
The future of advanced manufacturing is built on vision, technology, and collaboration, and at Visio and Planeo by STT Systems, we are proud to be part of this change.
