According to the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), 79% of the large Brazilian industries made productive investments in the year 2021. The advances are related to the acquisition of new equipment and the modernization of manufacturing parks in general. In this content, we will explain better the context of industrial investments and indicate the solutions that are highlighted in this scenario. Check it out!

Industrial investments in 2021 add up to the highest percentage since 2014
The industrial investments registered by CNI show a very promising scenario for the economy, considering that 79% of the large Brazilian industries have made major investments. In 2020, for example, this figure was 69%. In 2014, the rate was only 47%. The year 2021 represents, inclusive, the highest percentage of investments since 2014.
Acquisition of modern machinery, updating of old equipment, and general improvements in manufacturing plants - through industrial retrofit - were the main investments in the sector. This shows us that managers have been paying attention to the most urgent agendas in the industry, such as the search for energy efficiency and the adoption of more sustainable practices.
The importance of investments for the future of industries
The promising scenario for industrial investments dialogues a lot with the digital transformation, which is constantly bringing technological evolutions that optimize production chains and generate more profitability for businesses.
Along with the economic factor, this path is important because it contributes to a more sustainable future, so that industries can produce more, but generating less environmental impact and consuming fewer resources in their operation.
This is also very favorable from the point of view of humanization of labor relations, which is one of the precepts of Industry 4.0. After all, when employees count on more modern and sustainable operational solutions, the corporate environment becomes more pleasant, avoiding problems such as service overload and even work accidents.

The best industrial investment solutions to promote the development of warehouses
As we have seen, one of the main focuses of industrial investments is the adoption of more intelligent systems for the production chain. Next, we will talk about some of these solutions.
CFD
CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) is a methodology used to model fluids. Currently, many managers are investing in this resource when configuring natural ventilation systems for industries, because CFD helps to validate the calculations on the behavior of the air in the environment. Thus, the system gains maximum quality and can operate at high performance, avoiding losses and rework in the project.
CFD works like Computational Engineering software, analyzing in virtual reality the physical data collected in the factory shed. In this way, it is possible to test various ventilation possibilities on the computer model before taking the project off the drawing board. Ventilation systems with blinds and industrial louvers, for example, become much more efficient with the use of CFD.
MB Smart
Smart MB is an intelligent resource capable of managing all the lighting resources of an industrial shed. This solution developed by the MB Group - expert in natural lighting and ventilation for the industry for 20 years - is a champion of sustainability and energy efficiency in factories.
Through the MB Smart central, it is possible to dim the LED lamps according to the level of natural lighting entering through the linear domes. Thus, it is guaranteed the maximum possible savings in electric energy, without giving up the uniform and effective luminosity in the environment. Among the main advantages of this intelligent control panel we highlight
- Automatic dimming of the LEDs;
- Minimal electricity consumption;
- Creation of customized lighting flows;
- Generation of system performance indicators;
- Broad, strategic, and uniform luminosity for the shed;
- More visual comfort for employees;
- Energy efficiency and sustainability for industry.
Retrofit
Retrofit is another interesting focus of industrial investments. This practice consists of revitalizing and modernizing factory warehouses by implementing more efficient solutions. Replacing old machinery with more economical versions is one way to apply retrofit.
Installing natural lighting and ventilation systems is another way to retrofit industrial buildings to achieve energy efficiency and a healthier workplace. Smart solutions such as domes, shutters, and louvers are, therefore, winning choices when it comes to industrial investments.
