Looming factory
Esta alianza se propone desarrollar y validar nuevas tecnologías industriales en plantas piloto.
Agrupa grupos de investigación y empresas con el objetivo de acelerar la transición hacia el nuevo escenario de la Industria 4.0. Una nueva etapa que se caracteriza por la interconexión entre máquinas y la integración operacional de los trabajadores con el entorno productivo.
Las instituciones y empresas de la agrupación colaboran en torno a cuatro proyectos. El desarrollo y mejora de algoritmos informáticos, de sistemas de comunicación, de robots de colaboración y la construcción de una planta piloto para exhibir los resultados.
Smart Factory
This project focuses on developing advanced monitoring algorithms.
Addressing the challenge of working with more complex, large, heterogeneous, and interdependent systems, while incorporating aspects such as energy efficiency, environmental impact, and safety with high resolution, based on data provided by new sensors and actuators.
Additionally, the project includes increasing the flexibility and adaptation of monitoring and control systems, which must enable the implementation of predictive maintenance strategies and be capable of responding to failures or malfunctions in industrial plants.
Connected Factory
This project focuses on developing communication systems.
The main difficulty of these systems lies in operating with different time scales and various orders of magnitude of data at different levels, from the plant to distribution and commerce.
The most imminent innovations in the field of communications (5G networks, new communication protocols in the enterprise or Industrial Ethernet) are reducing delays and greatly improving the quality of industrial communication services.
Robots on Factory
Addresses the use of workspace by robot arms and mobile robots and their collaboration with workers.
It studies the design of robots to make them suitable for spaces typical of small and medium-sized industries, as well as the implementation and learning of movement and navigation forms that are safe for people.
The project includes the study and development of learning tools that should facilitate interaction between people and robots, as well as programming, training, or demonstrating cases.
Factories of the Future
Includes demonstrators of technologies developed in the previous projects, which will be materialized at the Digital Manufacturing Pilot Plant of CIM UPC, both hardware type (production demonstrators) for batch and robotized production, and software (collaborative platforms) for data and services.
Looming Factory is coordinated by the Electronic Drives and Industrial Applications research group (MCIA) of UPC, led by researcher Lluís Romeral.
