The MICROBIOTA project has experimentally developed and researched various types of probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics that act on the intestinal microbiota, with the aim of improving the health of consumers and livestock (poultry and swine) and preventing risk factors for specific pathologies without losing organoleptic qualities and while maintaining the stability of the end product. The probiotics, prebiotics and symbiotics obtained have been validated as ingredients that have a beneficial impact on the health of women at various stages in their lives, as well as on the health of newborns and people with chronic renal insufficiency, [...]

INNOFORMIN implements an innovative sheet forming center, which will integrate incremental and stretched deformation systems, with the aim of creating a hybrid technology that combines the technologies of Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) and Stretch Forming (SF). The combination of Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology, which allows the processing of metal sheets by cold deformation, with the aim of manufacturing pieces with a low initial investment, and Stretch Forming (SF), a process applied to the production of prototypes of single pieces or short series that uses the same tooling as the ISF processes, allows to increase the [...]

AIRPOXY reduces the production and maintenance costs of composite parts in the aeronautic sector by introducing a novel family of thermoset composites that preserve all the advantages of conventional thermosets but can also be reprocessed, repaired and even recycled. To achieve so, project partners develop and validate a family of ground-breaking thermoset resins recently patented by CIDETEC, AIRPOXY coordinator, that preserves their high performance, in terms of easy fiber impregnation and overall stability, while showing new unprecedented features. During the project, the thermoset resins will be brought from proof of concept (TRL3) to validation in industrial [...]

The PERFILS project is a response to the growing demand for ingredients, foodstuffs and food supplements for sufferers of a variety of physiological conditions, such as allergies, intolerances and pathologies, which demand certain nutritional requirements and for which there is a very limited range of suitable and safe food products. The project involved the development of ingredients and products that respond to the particular dietary needs of different groups: people at risk of metabolic pathologies such as obesity, hypertension and metabolic syndrome; people with an intolerance of histamine or lactose; and people with chronic renal insufficiency. [...]

EK2.0 develops artificial intelligence algorithms that, based on the remote monitoring of the behaviour and health conditions of the chronic, fragile or dependent patient, enable the creation of new management tools and solutions for healthcare professionals. These algorithms provide added value to the current functionalities of the systems used in the clinical and care environment by allowing the integration and learning from data collected by sensors that capture environmental information and personal health or physical activity data, for its integration with the available clinic history data. The results of the project will be used for the [...]

The European project HARSHWORK develops a technology to improve the efficiency in the handling and processing processes of raw materials such as copper or nickel, where the impact and wear of industrial components is very high. HARSHWORK will increase the competitiveness of mining companies and manufacturers of industrial equipment for this sector, as well as steel manufacturers and companies in the recycling sector. HARSHWORK counts with the participation of Eurecat’s Metallic and Ceramic Materials Technology Unit , which is dedicated to determine the main wear mechanisms of industrial components to develop a software that allows to [...]

The GEOFIT project develops innovative and optimized geothermal systems with the aim of promoting the use of renewable energies and energy efficiency in the construction sector, mainly in rehabilitation, and implementing advanced methods of inspection based on a multidisciplinary approach. GEOFIT responds to the need to design a methodology that meets the European requirements of quality and comfort of the occupants and the level of CO2 emissions. Eurecat Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit and Sustainability Unit participate in the project. The contribution of the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit is to analyze the failure mechanisms of [...]

Sharework develops a human robot collaboration. It develops a system capable of understanding the environment and predict human actions by using artificial intelligence and process data in an environment where human safety is guaranteed. This way, the effective adoption of Human-Robot Collaboration on current automation lack manufacturing processes is possible. The solution is based on a set of software modules to process and interpret the process and environmental data and adjusts collaborative robotics to each industrial process and to the workers themselves, making possible to adapt the robots currently installed in each plant to ensure more [...]

The REFER project promotes energy cost-reduction and greater efficiency in residential and service buildings by monitoring and optimizing the conditioning systems of residential buildings and, on the other hand, incorporating to service buildings intelligent and interoperable energy management systems and new innovative solutions for the generation and storage of renewable energy. During the project, energy measurement, generation and storage systems have been implemented, and more than 17 products have been developed, granting energy flexibility to buildings in ongoing rehabilitation processes. REFER has also allowed to improve technologies that participate in the energy flexibility of the buildings [...]

The PRO2 project investigates and develops new technologies and materials in the fields of additive manufacturing and 3D printing for the development of new products and applications. The project includes the study and development of new design techniques and tools for predicting the mechanical behavior of parts manufactured with these technologies. On the other hand, PRO2 develops new materials with high thermal and mechanical resistance, new manufacturing processes and the development of new post-processing tools to improve the surface finish of the parts manufactured in 3D. The PRO2 project represents a strategic opportunity for the development [...]

GreenCharge project provides innovative cities with technological solutions and business models for cost-effective implementation and management of charging infrastructures for electric vehicles. On the other hand, it will provide a service for charge planning, including booking and billing for electric vehicle’s users. The GreenCharge system will be demonstrated and evaluated in Barcelona, Bremen and Oslo. GreenCharge will reduce the need for grid investments to establish new charging stations, remove range anxiety and enable the sharing of dedicated charging facilities. In the project, Eurecat is in charge of developing the charging management, improve the estimation of state [...]

Development of a send personalised advice on dietary and lifestyle habits to users with the purpose of empower consumers to prevent diet-related diseases. PREVENTOMICS project is based on biomarkers and develops personalised plans for nutrition and lifestyle habits to improve the health of people, based on individual traits such as physical and behavioural traits, lifestyle, genotype, preferences and physical condition and will reach the recipients in in the form of behavioural prompts, thanks to the use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) tools. The applied research carried out by PREVENTOMICS helps sustain new healthy lifestyle habits, [...]

The PIG-MALION project develops porcine products good for the heart, by means of the reformulation and incorporation of bioactive ingredients that allow to improve their nutritional and healthy profile.
