Technological innovation is ‘strategic for the food industry, from the point of view of developing new foods and ingredients’ to promote the well-being of different population groups, as well as from the perspective of the opportunities opened up by alternative protein sources and products designed to respond to new consumer habits, where ‘nutrition and [...]
Implementing a personalised nutrition strategy leads to following the Mediterranean diet to a greater extent and could be effective in weight loss, according to the results obtained in a clinical study carried out by the Eurecat technology centre with 134 participants who received personalised nutrition and lifestyle tips to improve their healthy habits using an online [...]
Starting today, the Eurecat technology centre is presenting the DANTIAN project at the Alimentaria fair in Barcelona. This project studies new foods and bioactive ingredients that will encourage mental well-being through the understanding of the mechanism at cognitive level and its relationship with the microbiota and intestinal health. In this vein, studies are being carried out [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is developing a research project to remediate hydrocarbon-contaminated soils through a micro-remediation technology that uses fungi and has a lower environmental cost than conventional techniques. In the context of the project, funded by the Torres Quevedo programme, ‘parameters such as soil texture, nutrients or microorganisms that control the degradation of hydrocarbons by [...]
At this year’s edition of the Advanced Factories fair, the Eurecat technology centre will be showing a solution developed with the company Jansa to automate the assembly process for metal parts in construction industry beams, which can be applied to collaborative robotics. The project makes it possible to plan the robot’s trajectory in real time using [...]
Today, the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) Europe and Eurecat technology centre have announced the establishment of a Metal Digital Manufacturing Joint Research Unit (JRU) to drive industrial innovation for companies in the aerospace, automotive and health sectors in Europe and Australia. This joint research unit will provide access to state-of-the-art infrastructure and technical expertise to increase [...]
Starting today, at the Advanced Factories fair, the Eurecat technology centre is exhibiting a system created in collaboration with Masats in the area of predictive maintenance. This system incorporates artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics to anticipate errors in the operation of public transport vehicle access systems, with doors and ramps, developed by the company. The [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is taking part in the European LOPEC fair, the leading event for printed electronics, being held this week in Munich, where it is presenting the prototype of a flexible, lightweight printed device for producing green hydrogen, designed to reduce the impact and cost of the electrolytic cells usually used in this process. [...]
The increased use of water resources and problems arising from climate change ‘mean reusing water is emerging as a growing need’ since it is an asset that is ‘too valuable to be used just once, in a context of water scarcity resulting from population growth’, explains Miquel Rovira, the director of the Eurecat technology [...]
Eight research teams, including Eurecat, have been chosen for their proposals to improve energy efficiency and promote local energy production during the second edition of Lab to Market (L2M), an initiative promoted by the Energy for Society R&D Network (XRE4S) with the aim of helping participants identify technologies with potential for commercialisation. In the second edition [...]
