The use of integrated engineering systems for the development and manufacture of the most cited tool (37%), followed by digital automation with flexible production lines ( 23%) and large data collection (21%) and remote monitoring and production (19%).

"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.
