Labour-cost reductions, the export competitiveness reinforced by the dollar rise, the 65% drop in oil prices during the last eight years, and the measures to drive the economy (with interest rates close to zero percent) have been efficient variables up to now, but they will not be enough for a sustainable growth over time.<\/p>\n<p>The global picture, which has been taking shape during the last months (with uncertainty as a constant), depends on the political decisions President Trump makes in the United States, on the electoral scene open in key countries in Europe, on the still uncertain Brexit process, and on the permanent jihadist threat.<\/p>\n<p>From the economic perspective, this will increasingly have an impact on the fourth industrial revolution we are living, which goes beyond borders, sectors and established models. It is time to launch a second wave of competitiveness, supported by the technological and digital revolution lived globally, but also by innovation, which will help us challenge the established orthodoxies to promote attitudes that will necessarily be differentiating. Only this way we can answer the dilemmas that the new economy brings up; promoting the collaboration between companies, creating new businesses and synergies, and succeeding in the experience economy, where the equation product\/quality\/price is no longer enough: the client&rsquo;s experience needs to be the key to hire us.<\/p>\n<p>However, we need to do more. The challenges of the fourth industrial revolution, the new frontier that defines the intelligent, computerized factory with all the processes interconnected by the Internet of things, offers a great opportunity to improve the current competitive position through the usage of new production systems and efficient processes. How do we imagine the scrap metal industry in 50 years?<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I imagine it with the mass production of prefabricated components like beams or pillars and the installation of flagstones with rolled wire panels that can be spread out easily so only a few workers will be needed to mount a flagstone in less time than a team of thirty, like nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>But maybe the determining factor or the fourth industrialization will be the profile of the future worker. We must be aware of the recycling training that will affect all the workers, keeping our talents as the differentiating means over the competition.<\/p>\n<p>The question is: why wait 50 years? Our industry has the technology and machinery to accomplish this job.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Ligne_bleue_separation_version_e-1999.jpg\" style=\"height:67px; width:400px\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Revolucion industrial 4.0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Poco a poco van quedando atr&aacute;s factores relacionados con el abaratamiento de costes que han permitido a muchos pa&iacute;ses, superar una de las peores crisis de la historia. La disminuci&oacute;n de los costes laborales, la competitividad de las exportaciones reforzada por el encarecimiento del d&oacute;lar, la bajada del 65 por ciento del precio del barril de petr&oacute;leo en los &uacute;ltimos 8 a&ntilde;os y las medidas de impulso econ&oacute;mico -con tipos de inter&eacute;s cercanos al 0 por ciento- han sido variables eficaces hasta ahora pero no ser&aacute;n suficientes para crecer de manera sostenible en el tiempo.<\/p>\n<p>El mapa global que se viene configurando en los &uacute;ltimos meses (con la incertidumbre como constante) depende de las decisiones pol&iacute;ticas que vaya tomando el presidente Trump en EEUU, del panorama electoral abierto en pa&iacute;ses clave de Europa, del todav&iacute;a incierto proceso de Brexit y de la permanente amenaza yihadista.<\/p>\n<p>En el plano econ&oacute;mico impactar&aacute; cada vez m&aacute;s la 4&ordf; revoluci&oacute;n industrial que ya estamos viviendo y que trasciende fronteras, sectores y modelos establecidos. Es el momento de impulsar una segunda ola de competitividad, apalancada en la revoluci&oacute;n digital y tecnol&oacute;gica que se vive ya a nivel global, pero tambi&eacute;n en la innovaci&oacute;n que nos ayudar&aacute; a desafiar a las ortodoxias establecidas para fomentar actitudes necesariamente diferenciadoras. S&oacute;lo as&iacute; podremos responder a los dilemas que la nueva econom&iacute;a plantea, fomentando la colaboraci&oacute;n entre compa&ntilde;&iacute;as en el que se crean a diario nuevos negocios y sinergias y triunfar en la econom&iacute;a de la experiencia, en la que ya no es suficiente con la f&oacute;rmula producto\/calidad\/precio sino que la experiencia que se ofrece al cliente sea la clave de nuestra contrataci&oacute;n.<\/p>\n<p>Pero hace falta m&aacute;s. Los retos de la industrializaci&oacute;n 4.0, la nueva frontera que define la f&aacute;brica inteligente e informatizada con todos los procesos interconectados por el Internet de las Cosas, ofrece una gran oportunidad para mejorar la actual posici&oacute;n competitiva a trav&eacute;s del uso de nuevos sistemas de producci&oacute;n y eficiencia de los procesos. &iquest;C&oacute;mo imaginamos la industria de la ferralla dentro de 50 a&ntilde;os?<\/p>\n<p>Yo la imagino con la prefabricaci&oacute;n masiva de elementos tales como vigas o pilares y la instalaci&oacute;n de losas con paneles de malla enrollados y de f&aacute;cil extendido en el que s&oacute;lo unos pocos trabajadores, ser&aacute;n capaces de montar una losa en menos tiempo del que un un equipo de 30 personas, realizan esa misma tarea en la actualidad.<\/p>\n<p>Pero quiz&aacute; el factor determinante de la industrializaci&oacute;n 4.0 sea el perfil del trabajador del futuro. Hemos de ser conscientes respecto al reciclaje formativo que afectar&aacute; a todos los trabajadores, proponi&eacute;ndonos como objetivo conservar el talento como medio diferenciador frente a la competencia.<\/p>\n<p>La cuesti&oacute;n es: &iquest;Por qu&eacute; esperar 50 a&ntilde;os? Ya existe en nuestra industria las maquinas y la tecnolog&iacute;a, capaces de realizar este trabajo.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Little by little, factors related to cost reduction&mdash;which have allowed many countries to overcome one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":44041,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[217],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-interest"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=44046"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44046\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":56904,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44046\/revisions\/56904"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/44041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=44046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=44046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/groupeagf.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=44046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
