The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) is taking part in MoTiV, a European project that will analyse the value of the travel time of people who use public transport (e.g. metro/subway systems, trams and buses), private transport (e.g. cars, motorcycles and bicycles) or who travel on foot. The project’s aim is to design [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) is taking part in the CONOCE project, which is focused on the application of disruptive technologies in the field of neuroscience. The project’s aim is to gain an insight into consumers and their perception of multisensory stimuli, with a view to developing innovative food products that are [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) is taking part in the Fiware4Water research and innovation project. Over the next three years, Fiware4Water will develop and trial innovative digital technology solutions for the management of water resources, based on Big Data and other IT-based tools. The solutions will be tested under real-world conditions in [...]
The Girona-based company Tecalum and the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) have developed a prototype of a smart device using printed electronics on aluminium. This functioning prototype shows that it is technically feasible to print lights, sensors and switches onto this material in such a way that they are integrated fully into the [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed an innovative adaptation of the Blackbelt 3D textile printer, which is distributed in Spain by the Uniqo Custom Engineering company. This new development makes it possible to print designs onto fabric continuously, thereby achieving theoretically infinite lengths. In the words of Xavier Plantà, Eurecat’s director [...]
The FormPlanet project, coordinated by the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio), will create an Open Innovation TestBed (OITB) in Europe for the purpose of increasing the productivity of metal forming industries by developing new experimental methodologies and modelling approaches for predicting and optimizing the performance of materials and parts and for reducing the [...]
Experts at the Tech4Good Congress, an annual conference that is organized by the Eurecat technology centre and focuses on technology that offers exponential benefits to society, today discussed the manufacture of new products from agricultural waste as a potential solution for the future. They also highlighted the fact that product sustainability is a growing priority [...]
The company OXIGEN salud, the Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) and the Lleida Biomedical Research Institute are developing a new telemedicine app dubbed MyVENT, which will allow for improved monitoring of patients’ mechanical ventilation therapy. The aim of the initiative is to improve the provision of healthcare resources to patients and provide support [...]
The Catalan Institute for Water Research (ICRA), the Eurecat technology centre, the Barcelona Institute of Regional and Metropolitan Studies (IERMB) Consortium, s::can Iberia (a small-scale manufacturer of online sensors) and Barcelona Ciclo del Agua (BCASA, the public water-utility provider) are all taking part in SCOREwater, a European project that aims to contribute to digital transformation [...]
The Eurecat technology centre (a member of Tecnio) has developed Seleccionem, an app aimed at helping patients with multiple sclerosis choose the treatment option that best fits their preferences. The app is used in conjunction with AQuAS, a website for shared decision-making that is designed to help patients make decisions regarding the treatment of multiple [...]
