Hector Dominguis picked up the award for best innovation. The Grupo Dominguis general-director created a robot, Tirant III, which can replace men in the cleanup of nuclear piping. The firm has managed to combine the forward speed of the rotating machine gun casting a molten metal alloy in pipes for proper plating thickness. The savings on the cost of changing the pipe is 50% and sometimes higher. The robot is already being used in central Mexico's Laguna Verde.
