The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the European Marbel project which has developed a new electric vehicle battery concept based on the principles of modularity and the potential for large-scale recyclability with a view to lessening environmental impact and unlocking the circular economy in the automotive industry. In Catalonia, alongside Eurecat the project has [...]
Catalan start-up Lizcore, which specialises in indoor climbing technology, and the Eurecat technology centre have devised a new smart device which monitors climbers’ safety on climbing walls by tapping advanced artificial intelligence to spot potential dangers and generate alerts. The innovation, which has built-in cameras, sensors and actuators, automatically checks the connection of the [...]
The Eurecat technology centre has helped to develop a roving prototype for controlling invasive alien species insects as part of a project led by Bionet (Gepork Group) and coordinated by the INNOVACC cluster which is designed to detect their entry via goods or people 24 hours a day to deliver continuous analysis. The project, [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European StepUP project which has developed a new methodology for deep renovation, a set of digital tools and a range of technologies for quick and easy placement, connection and use (plug & play) to transform the energy renovation market and drive the decarbonisation of existing [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is presenting this week at the Mobile World Congress a headband developed together with Time is Brain to record brain activity in real time during an acute stroke and predict complications early on. The innovation is part of the BraiN20® portable medical device which provides the patient with “quicker access [...]
The Eurecat technology centre and the companies Ocean Ecostructures and GPA SEABOTS have teamed up on the OASIS project which is designed to roll out nature-based solutions to address the environmental impact of port infrastructures and thus help turn ports into active players in biodiversity regeneration and the fight against climate change on coasts. The [...]
Denvelops and the Eurecat technology centre have devised an architectural hybrid textile prototype which adds new energy and lighting features to building fronts while also delivering greater efficiency, sustainability, innovation, adaptability and design. The purpose of the project was to show that these types of solutions and functions tapping the new hybrid texTILES construction system [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is coordinating the CARBODIN (Car Body Shells, Doors and Interiors) project which is to support building lighter and more energy-sustainable passenger trains by developing innovative modular tooling for manufacturing car bodies and carriage shells using composite materials. As part of the project “innovative and versatile moulds and tooling are to be designed and [...]
Robinhat and the Eurecat technology centre have together devised a surgical cap for doctors and surgeons which enables live connections and recording operations so that the videos can be analysed afterwards. Its prototype will be on show for the first time at this year’s Mobile World Congress. Called RobinCam, it is a patented cap featuring [...]
Two out of every three Eurecat technology innovation projects are with small and medium-sized enterprises which it supports in enhancing their processes and services and also in developing new products by pinpointing opportunities for market-oriented applied digital, industrial, biotech and sustainability innovation. In almost all cases the starting point for new product development is tapping disruptive technology [...]
