And the latest news is that two months ago, at RK Lamina&ccedil;&atilde;o of the Barreiro plant, <strong>the first robot 100% produced by Vallourec<\/strong> came into operation. A work carried out by the IoT (Internet of Things) team in Portuguese that has revolutionized the deburring work* of the adjusted pipes in the area.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe project is pure innovation and improves not only our service, but also increases the quality of the product that reaches the end customer. Just to give you an idea, before the implantation, the work was done manually by a professional in the sector, who had direct contact with the pipe, which could generate accidents, putting the operator in a real risk situation.\n<br>\n<br>\nNow, with our robot, this employee could be leveraged in other more strategic functions within the Company. This is because, in addition to no longer having to go down to the production line to carry out the deburring of the pipe, it also does not have to operate the new technology. The robot, through artificial intelligence, does all the work itself.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-38cb295 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"38cb295\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94d5883 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"94d5883\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d36bbfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-video_player\" data-id=\"d36bbfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"video_player.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<iframe\n    class=\"w-full aspect-video p-2 rounded-lg border-0 shadow shadow-1 bg-white\"\n    src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/\"\n    allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\"\n    allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n  \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-400a35a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"400a35a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfaa0f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"bfaa0f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1b61c7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c1b61c7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&ldquo;<em>The initiative came from a Cartesian robot concept created by engineer R&ocirc;mulo Castro, who realized the bottleneck in the sector and promptly started the project with our team.
