Innovation is part of Embraer's history, and it plays a key role in our growth. For 55 years, we have been constantly looking to build new perspectives that bring a more environmentally friendly future and elevate our industry to new heights.
We invest 5% of our revenue in research, development, innovation and in the improvement of our industrial facilities. We have numerous partnerships with governments, universities, accelerators, large companies and startups, to enhance our learning and bring even more significant results, many of them implemented in recent years.
Robots distribute the parts according to the production demand generated and sent to the system. It organizes the flow of parts disposal to facilitate the work of operators, which tripled productivity and gave better control of the traceability of parts and reduced the storage area by 70%.
Our pioneering spirit keeps Embraer connected to the high-priority issues of the present with an eye on the mobility of the future, ensuring that investments are directed to the development of solutions focused on bringing value to our business.
With teams working on topics such as Passenger Experience, Competitiveness of Aeronautical Structures, sustainable Zero Emission technologies, intelligent Autonomous Flight systems, application of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Industry 4.0 and Cyber Security to increase the operational efficiency, reliability and quality of our products, services and facilities.
The creation of a new sustainable air mobility company, with electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, or EVTOLs, for urban commuting, is another step towards the future that was previously nothing more than imagination. And new propulsion modalities, hybrid or hydrogen-powered, raise the challenges within our industry to levels never imagined.
Our commitment is to excellence and the creation of sustainable value, seeking new ways to grow and lead in an increasingly competitive and dynamic world
This 4 episodes web series on innovation reveals the behind-the-scenes of how the company has worked and continues to work over the past 55 years to continually be at the forefront of knowledge and develop disruptive technologies.
The first episode covers Embraer's role in the innovation ecosystem throughout its history. The second episode focuses on technologies that can enable a new era of sustainable air mobility. The third chapter addresses advances in the field of autonomous systems and their multiple applications. This includes functions such as pilot assistance, the use of drones for deliveries in urban environments, and aerial spraying operations.
In addition, the series will explore developments related to the electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, the eVTOL designed by Eve. The fourth video in the series presents how recent technologies are already promoting transformations in manufacturing processes, in the context of the Industry 4.0.
