Connecting with young talent to drive the industry of the future

Factor Ingeniería has participated in the Employment Forum of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), organized by the Integrated Employment Service (SIE). The 2025 edition brought together more than 215 companies in an environment designed to connect young talent with real opportunities for employment and professional development.

During the two days, Ana Mª Sánchez Escribano, our People Director, attended to dozens of students interested in learning how we work, what profiles we are looking for and what opportunities we offer in an increasingly sustainable and people-oriented technology industry. It has been a very positive experience, marked by interest, closeness and the desire to add young talent to our project.

One of the highlights of the forum was the institutional visit to the exhibition space of FEMEVAL, with the participation of José E. Capilla Romá, rector of the UPV; Elena de la Poza Plaza, vice-rector of Employment, Lifelong Learning and Languages; Antonio Galvañ Díez, regional secretary of Employment; Raquel Carracedo Olivares, Training coordinator of FEMEVAL; Sara Roiz, Human Resources technician at KAMAX, and Ana Mª Sánchez Escribano, director of People at Factor Ingeniería.

This meeting visualizes the joint commitment between administrations, universities and companies to promote employability in the industrial sector and facilitate the incorporation of new talent into the labor market.

In addition, our participation began days before, with the involvement in the activities prior to the forum, such as the CV review session. In it, Ana Mª Sánchez was able to provide personalized guidance to students, share her experience and reinforce the value of proximity in the selection process.

From Factor Ingeniería, we would like to thank the Integrated Employment Service (SIE) and FEMEVAL for their excellent organization and for counting on us. This kind of initiatives are essential to build a stronger industry, connected with the educational reality and prepared for the challenges of the future.

This morning we had the opportunity to participate in the activities prior to the UPV Employment Forum, organized by the Integrated Employment Service of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).

Our Director of People, Ana María Sánchez, has been present collaborating in the CV review session, one of the star actions of this previous week.

“It has been a very enriching experience. We have been able to share practical recommendations, learn about the concerns of young talent and show them how they can better project their professional profile. I have a very good feeling, both for the level of involvement of the students and for the opportunity to share how we work at Factor and what we look for in those who join our team”, said Ana María.

This action reinforces our commitment to continuous training, talent recruitment and the promotion of an innovative, human and constantly evolving industry. An industry that needs well-prepared professionals with attitude, curiosity and commitment.

The next event will take place at the Employment Forum on May 28th and 29th, where we will participate as a guest company at the FEMEVAL stand. A new opportunity to continue sharing with students and graduates our experience in the industrial and technological sector.

From Factor Ingeniería we want to thank the Universitat Politècnica de València and FEMEVAL for betting on the connection between university and company.

Positive balance and new goals to consolidate our role as a technical partner in defense and security

From Factor Ingeniería we have closed with a very positive balance our presence in FEINDEF 2025, the International Fair of Defense and Security held from May 12 to 14 at IFEMA Madrid and supported by the Ministry of Defense. A reference meeting for the sector, with more than 500 exhibiting companies, 100 official delegations and representatives from 65 countries, which has allowed us to strengthen relationships, open new avenues of collaboration and share our solutions with key companies, organizations and institutions of the industrial and technological ecosystem.

During the fair, we presented our capabilities in the design and manufacture of full-range ammunition solutions, as well as highly reliable components for demanding environments, the result of more than 40 years of experience and innovation in defense and security. Our proposal aroused the interest of numerous professional visitors, with whom we were able to exchange ideas, needs and proposals to build a safer, more efficient and technologically advanced future.

Among the highlights, we had a visit of Felipe Carrasco, Regional Secretary for Industry, Trade and Consumer Affairs of the Department of Innovation, Industry, Trade and Tourism of the Generalitat Valenciana, and Jerónimo Mora, Regional Secretary for Innovation of the same Department.

These meetings reinforce our commitment to a connected industry, open to collaboration and ready to face the technological challenges of the present and the future.

The 2025 edition of FEINDEF has been, without a doubt, an enriching experience. We would like to thank the organizers and all the people who came to our stand to meet us, exchange impressions or explore synergies. We end this edition with the satisfaction of having achieved our objectives and the motivation to continue growing as a technical partner of reference in defense and security.

A pioneering project that applies Mixed Reality and 5G to improve safety and efficiency in industrial manufacturing environments

At FACTOR we remain committed to innovation that transforms industry. Together with the Instituto Tecnológico de Informática (ITI), we lead MANTRA, a pioneering initiative that seeks to revolutionize industrial robotics through advanced telepresence and remote control solutions. This project combines cutting-edge technologies such as Mixed Reality (MR), 5G connectivity and Wi-Fi interoperability, in order to create safer and more efficient environments in industrial operations where human presence poses a risk.

The initiative is part of the European SPIRIT project, which launched an open call to select pilot proposals capable of validating emerging technologies in real industrial environments. Our joint proposal with ITI, under the title MANTRA (Mixed-Reality Augmented Networks for Teleoperated Robotics Applications), was one of those selected, consolidating the leadership of both entities in the development of cutting-edge industrial solutions.

Immersive telepresence for safer control

MANTRA introduces Mixed Reality interfaces with multimodal feedback (haptic, visual and auditory), enabling intuitive and precise control of robots in industrial environments. Thanks to this technology, operators can interact remotely with their work environment, improving safety and avoiding direct exposure to unnecessary risks.

Real impact on industry

In addition to facilitating the execution of complex tasks without direct intervention, MANTRA will improve production continuity, operational accuracy and the overall efficiency of industrial processes. It also opens up new opportunities in technical training and remote assistance, allowing operators to be trained in realistic virtual environments without compromising their safety.

Thanks to connectivity between 5G and Wi-Fi networks, and data processing at the edge of the network (edge computing), the solution guarantees a seamless, real-time experience designed for highly demanding industrial environments.

Cutting-edge testing

To ensure its effectiveness, MANTRA is being developed and validated in real-world environments. From ITI's laboratories to our own production lines at FACTOR, the technology undergoes rigorous testing to assess its applicability in the industrial sector.

Commitment to innovation

MANTRA joins other European projects in which we have actively participated, such as i4Q, TALON or SUN, reaffirming our commitment to a smarter, connected and safer industry. As a pilot environment of the project, we remain committed to smart solutions that improve the productivity and competitiveness of the sector, moving towards a sustainable Industry 4.0 that is prepared for the challenges of the future.
