NM3D Ibérica recently welcomed a visit from UBTECH Robotics, the technology company behind the humanoid robot that forms the basis of our VIRIATO, in a meeting marked by knowledge sharing, technological demonstration and closer engagement between different organisations linked to industrial innovation.
The visit was attended by Viki Y., Overseas Sales Director, and JianJun Zhu, Delivery Technical Engineer, representatives of UBTECH Robotics, who had the opportunity to get to know NM3D Ibérica’s facilities, our team and the company’s different areas of activity.
This meeting represented an important moment of collaboration and networking, strengthening the connection between technology, technical knowledge and real industrial application — three essential dimensions in the way NM3D Ibérica continues to position itself in the market.
A Visit that Began with Technology in Action
The visit began with a welcome session led by VIRIATO itself, in a moment that demonstrated, in practical terms, the potential of humanoid robotics applied to real contexts.
More than a symbolic presentation, this reception highlighted how robotics can take on an active role in interacting with people, energising technological environments and creating new forms of connection between physical systems, operators and industrial processes.
VIRIATO represents an area of development that brings together humanoid robotics, applied intelligence, automation and industrial vision. Its presence at this moment reinforced NM3D Ibérica’s ambition to explore technological solutions capable of responding to the challenges of today’s industry, bringing innovation closer to the operational reality of companies.
UBTECH Robotics and NM3D Iberica: a Future-oriented Connection
UBTECH Robotics is an international technology company with a strong presence in the development of humanoid robotics solutions. Its visit to NM3D Ibérica made it possible to deepen contact between teams and create space for joint reflection on the potential of these technologies in industrial environments.
During the meeting, perspectives were shared on the evolution of humanoid robotics, its integration into production contexts and the opportunities that may arise when this type of technology is combined with areas such as metrology, inspection, automation and process digitalisation.
For NM3D Ibérica, this closer relationship is particularly relevant because it allows robotics to be seen not merely as an isolated solution, but as part of a broader technological ecosystem. Today, industry requires integrated solutions capable of communicating with equipment, collecting data, supporting processes and contributing to faster, better-informed decisions.
Humanoid Robotics at the Service of Industry
Humanoid robotics has been gaining increasing relevance in the industrial context, especially when integrated into areas such as autonomous metrology, quality inspection and intelligent connection with production.
Unlike traditional robotic solutions, which are often developed for very specific tasks and highly controlled environments, humanoid robots have a configuration that allows them to interact more naturally with spaces originally designed for human operators.
This characteristic opens up new possibilities in existing industrial environments, where workbenches, equipment, corridors, controls and tools were designed for human use. The ability of a humanoid robot to adapt to these contexts can represent an important advantage in support, monitoring, inspection, transport, equipment interaction and process assistance tasks.
From NM3D Ibérica’s perspective, the value of these solutions lies in their concrete application. Technology must respond to the real needs of industry: increasing efficiency, improving traceability, reducing repetitive tasks, supporting quality and creating more autonomous, safe and intelligent processes.
Autonomous Metrology, Inspection and Intelligent Production
The UBTECH visit also helped reinforce a vision that NM3D Ibérica has been developing: metrology must be increasingly close to production.
In an industrial scenario marked by digital transformation, automation and the need for real-time decisions, measurement and inspection are no longer isolated stages, but become part of more connected workflows. In this context, autonomous metrology emerges as a strategic area for improving quality, reducing downtime and increasing the consistency of production processes.
Humanoid robotics can play a relevant role in this evolution, acting as a connecting element between measurement systems, industrial equipment, production data and technical teams.
Its application should be built progressively, based on concrete use cases, technical validation and integration into real environments.
It is at this intersection between robotics, metrology, automation and data that NM3D Ibérica continues to develop its vision for the industry of the future.
A Moment of Exchange with the Innovation Ecosystem
This meeting also included the collaboration of CiTin – Centro de Interface Tecnológico Industrial, which played an important role in the reception and exchange during the visit. Its participation helped make the welcome session even more special, reinforcing the connection between companies, technology centres and applied development organisations.
NM3D Ibérica also thanks CTAG – Centro Tecnológico de Automoción de Galicia for its presence and support during this moment of innovation, underlining the importance of cooperation between different players in the technological and industrial ecosystem.
The presence of these organisations reinforces a central idea: industrial innovation is not built in isolation. It results from collaboration between companies, knowledge centres, technology partners and teams capable of transforming challenges into applicable solutions.
Networking, Collaboration and a Shared Industrial Vision
In addition to the technological component, UBTECH’s visit to NM3D Ibérica was also a moment of networking between teams, making it possible to exchange experiences, align perspectives and identify opportunities for future collaboration.
NM3D Ibérica values these moments because they bring different visions of industry closer together and create foundations for new forms of cooperation. The sharing of technical knowledge, the demonstration of solutions and direct contact between professionals are essential factors in accelerating innovation and ensuring that technology truly responds to market needs.
The availability shown by UBTECH’s representatives, as well as the spirit of exchange demonstrated throughout the visit, were particularly valued by the NM3D Ibérica team.
Technology, Technical Knowledge and Real Industrial Application
The visit of UBTECH Robotics to NM3D Ibérica represents another step in building bridges between technology, technical knowledge and real industrial application.
In a context where industry is seeking more autonomous, flexible and intelligent solutions, collaboration between technological organisations becomes essential to explore new possibilities and transform innovation into concrete value.
NM3D Ibérica will continue to invest in the integration of advanced technologies, collaboration with strategic partners and the development of solutions capable of contributing to a more efficient, connected industry prepared for the challenges of the future.
This meeting reinforces NM3D Ibérica’s commitment to an industrial vision based on applied innovation, quality, automation and the creation of technological solutions with real impact on production processes.
