Thinking Forward

Thinking Forward XXI SL is a spin-off of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC-Barcelona Tech), which, in conjunction with Ferrocarrils Metropolitans de Barcelona (FMB), patented a predictive maintenance system for electric motors and their associated mechanical parts with a view to then exclusively licencing it to a company set up by the inventors. Thus, from the very start, Thinking Forward XXI SL has had the backing of two major institutions, the UPC and FMB, as well as the technological knowledge and know-how of the original system developers. Today, Thinking Forward XXI SL continues to conduct R&D both to adapt its current system to different markets and technologies and to create new predictive maintenance systems.
