The use of integrated engineering systems for the development and manufacture of products 19659009] second most cited tool (37%), followed by digital automation with lines Flexible production (23%) and large data collections (21%) and remote monitoring and production control (In the badysis by domain where digital technologies are used, 90% of the companies surveyed stated that they used them in the production process, 58% in product development and 33% in new business models.

In the evaluation of the CNI, the enterprises Brazilians are still in the initial phase of incorporating digital technologies focused on strengthening research and development (R & D). "The small percentage of companies that use more advanced digital technologies (such as additive manufacturing, collaborative robots, intelligent management systems, simulations and badysis of virtual models and the Internet of objects) is not surprising. The advance to these applications means a major transformation in the mode of production and the economic model, "concluded the study.
