Functional Printing & Embedded Devices

The objective of the Interacciona project is to design and manufacture intelligent labels powered by NFC technology. These labels are designed for use on wine and liquor bottles. They can be controlled through a mobile app and integrate active functions such as temperature and humidity sensors, and electro-lighting components. Additionally, Interacciona is developing an electronic control and feeding circuit for the labels designed for large-scale distribution. The labels would contain the active functions required by each customer and can be personalized for any occasion. A pilot test will be performed during the project in which two types of labels [...]

Do Change project aims to increase the health and well-being of patients through a management eHealth system that allows to monitorize the physiology function in real time. The eHealth technology developed in the project allows the monitoring of nutritional and behaviour habits and patient's health by observing their physiological conditions in real time. Thanks to this information, patients can adapt their habits and routines to improve their health. The Do Change project provides a new approach in medical treatments, prioritizing action over prescription in order to improve patients’ well-being. General details Project DO [...]

ChefMySelf project main goal is to develop a customizable and extensible (ICT) service ecosystem built around an automatic cooking solution to support older people in preparing meals and maintaining healthy eating habits. A food processor with an accessible interface, specially tailored for the elderly, will encourage them to self-care, accordingly to their particular nutrition requirements, and a social network focused on the topic of healthy aging and eating, will become a tool to motivate them to be active and maintaining existing social relationships and creating new ones. ChefMySelf will support elderly in developing culturally appropriate guidelines [...]

The project aims to generate a flexible photovoltaic product in order to produce electricity through urban furniture in cities. This low-cost, clean energy should be able to meet the energy needs of citizens in the urban space. The project has a total budget of 1.3 M€ and is to last for 40 months. Enerciudad2020 will transform urban fixtures such as bus shelters, bus stops, streetlamps, benches, posters, awnings or canopies in power-generating smart objects. The project will also develop the manufacturing process for flexible solar panels so that this technology can be extrapolated to an industrial [...]

The project aims FLEXeTOY - Development and scaling of flexible electroluminescent devices for use in the toy sector is carrying out research in printed electronics on flexible plastic substrates, specifically electroluminescent devices (EL), connections and circuitry required for operation, to achieve effective integration of them in the toy sector. The result will be one or more toys technology demonstrator prototypes from which SMEs involved may provide the basis for future exploitation. General details Project FLEXeTOY - Development and scaling of applications flexible electroluminescent devices toy sector Programme and Call INNPACTOS 2012 [...]

DEPHOTEX project aims to obtain organic photovoltaic (OPV) fabrics. They conserve the properties inherent to the textile, which enable the production of new low-cost textile products. The future challenge will entail getting the fabric itself to capture solar energy. This would mean producing fabrics that can generate clean, renewable, portable and autonomous energy, thanks to their exposure to the sun Control panels for the interiors of cars, pillows, curtains and jackets are a few of the items on display at the end of the project at several European events. Photovoltaic fabrics present great potential in extensive [...]
