Javier Borda (born 1951 in Bermeo, Biscay) is an industrial engineer, researcher-teacher of industrial systems with many scientific publications, and a Spanish businessman. He is president of Sisteplant, a multi-national company of industrial systems engineering. [1]
He holds a Doctorate in Industrial Engineering from the Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de Bilbao (ETSII), a Master's Degree in Quantitative Models and an MBA from the Escuela Superior de Técnica Empresarial (ESTE) of the University of Deusto (1974-1976). He obtained his doctorate from the University of the Basque Country in 1988 with a thesis entitled "Architecture and CIM Computer Models in Thermoplastic Injection Moulding". [2]
He was a professor at the University of Deusto (1984-2001), teaching Production Management; at the Aula Aeronautica of the Escuela Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de Bilbao (2005-8), teaching Advanced Production Systems for Aerospace and Defence; and at the King Juan Carlos University, teaching Advanced Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Systems for Defence in 2005.
AAs a scientist of industrial production, he advocates the social function of business. [3] TThroughout his career, he has helped companies large and small to develop their industrial models. [1]
In 1984, he founded Sisteplant, a multinational company dedicated to the provision of technological solutions for the optimisation of production and maintenance processes in industry. [4] He was Managing Director of Datalde (1984-1994) and later Chief Executive Officer. [5] Between 1991 and 2000 he was a member of the now defunct IFIP (International Federation for Information Processing), part of UNESCO. [6]
He received the Automoción-ACICAE Award from the Automotive Cluster of the Basque Country (2023) for his commitment to the Basque automotive sector. [7] [8]
He is the author of six books as well as scientific and popular articles, focusing on the relationship between man and machine and the risks of digitalisation, robotics and the use of artificial intelligence. [9]
In La Fábrica del futuro. Humana, inteligente, tecnológica y digital (The Factory of the Future. Human, Intelligent, Technological and Digital), published in 2016, he further explores the theory that without advanced industry, the future is practically non-existent. For the author, ICT is merely an "interpreter" and we need to place ourselves above artificial intelligence. [10]
In Hombre y Tecnología: 4.0 y más (Man and Technology: 4.0 and Beyond), he examines the role of the human being in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and is sceptical about robotized industry if it is not matched by a higher technological level of the people who operate it. For Borda, the four basic pillars of the factories of the future are strategy, technology, people and habitability, and he advocates the creation of "laboratory factories" with management models that allow "producing with quality while experimenting to do better tomorrow". [1]
As a scientist, he has participated in international congresses and several research projects. It's worth mentioning what he's done:
