The Internet and the associated data highway have radically changed
lifestyles and forms of production/services in a transcendent manner. Many
authors characterize this qualitative change as a new industrial revolution.
Exchange emails/information in electronic format and video conferences is
already part of daily uses applied by vast sectors of the world population for the
most varied purposes. Computers, tablets and cell phones are the access and
interface nodes to this process. For several years now, Telepresence has allowed
us to operate remote equipment more easily and monitor with online vision in
order to control processes of different types that occur in almost any point of the
global village from almost anywhere in the global village. INDUSTRY 4.0 has
as its central objective the use of all these tools in an integrated manner and to
reinforce a path of continuous improvement, increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of organizations.
The present work reflects the experience in two new aspects, opportunities
and difficulties that arise with the new paradigms of the organization of teams
for creative and participative workers. On the one hand, the difference between
implementing Telepresence and not just telecontrol is analyzed. On the other
hand, we present a new small software modules complementary to those already
developed/implemented in our technological research team, that underpin a
"Virtual Engineering Office" with its similarities and differences to the "Virtual
Classroom".
