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 [...]
The Eurecat technology centre is contributing to the projection of the Catalunya Circular Observatory, a circular economy innovation hub promoted by the Catalan Ministry of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda, which brings together information and knowledge about the actions, initiatives, success stories, indicators and aid that are implemented in this area in the [...]
A European consortium coordinated by the Eurecat technology centre has developed tools, protocols and guides to support inclusion and gender equality in the transport and mobility industry by assessing the needs of its users and staff from a gender perspective and tapping big data and machine learning. The Diamond project is designed to gather and [...]
A pilot study of the use of artificial intelligence to detect the needs of students in remote learning has concluded that the data obtained can be used by teachers to offer help to the students who most need it. The research, carried out in conjunction with the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), the Eurecat technological centre and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, [...]
