Development and integration of technologies that allow the offer of energy control and optimization products for energy service companies of higher quality and performance than those currently available. The project Optiener has the objective to develop two informatics tools, focused on the market of buildings in the tertiary sector, to support the users, both from the point of view of the installation design and its energy management during operation. One of the tools developed is an optimized design environment and ESD facilities analysis tool to predict the energy demand associated to comfort services (air conditioning, ACS, [...]

Investigation and development of a batteries system to feed electric lightweight quadricycles to adapt to current market requirements in terms of efficiency, durability and autonomy. The SIBCLE project emerge from the analysis of current electric lightweight quadricycles and their technique characteristics related to the autonomy and security, which nowadays don’t have a good quality to be useful in market. So, currently there aren’t so many users of this type of electric vehicles, with punctual exceptions. The project has developed, in prototype format, a solution to this problem detected through the design and development of an integrated [...]

Study of the suitability of a green roof manufactured with cork by-products generated during the manufacture of cork stoppers and/or in the wine-making process. The CORCHACTIVO project has demonstrated the viability of cork as a substrate and/or support for green roofs. In the case of green roofs, as in the case of wetlands, cork can be used as a substrate, allowing the decontamination of building wastewater and improving energy efficiency, thanks to the insulating properties of the material. The use of cork is proposed in order to take advantage of its multiple properties and to find [...]

Monitoring software tool to assist the user in the decision-making process using the Decision Support System (DSS) for energy and process management throughout the entire wine and Cava production chain, from harvesting to bottling and storage. The Smart Wineries 4.0 Project aspires to be the starting point of a strategy for the evolution of the sector towards industry 4.0 based on the development of digital skills to make efficient use of the information on energy consumption and to take action on the production process. The Smart Wineries 4.0 solution provides information on the energy status of [...]

Modular container that passively maintains the temperature of the product inside it for a minimum of 5 days, equipped with intelligence and remote control. The container is specially designed for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry, which need to transport products (chemicals, vaccines, tissues, clinical trials, etc.) at a stable temperature during handling in order to maintain their integrity and quality. The CoolPackaging 4.0 solution allows you to send items that need temperature control without special precautionary measures, increasing safety while lowering costs. In addition, there will be savings from reuse and less product waste. CoolPackaging 4.0 [...]

A solution for smart water management in urban environments that responds to the market demands of those responsible for its management (planning, improving performance, locating leaks, expanding designs, saving energy, optimizing control, etc.) and facilitates communication with industrial suppliers of network components (manufacturers of pumps, valves, etc.). In order to overcome the initial barriers, the URBANAGU4.0 project has generated a conversion methodology for the integration of hydraulic models in EPANET format (used by many companies) into a programming environment that enables the application of control and monitoring solutions based on models. The URBANAGU4.0 solution has been [...]

Study of opportunities to improve the production process in the wine production sector through industry 4.0 technologies. The study has allowed exporting and learning the reality of companies in the sector and detecting needs and/or improvement opportunities in the various areas of a company by incorporating digital technologies pertaining to industry 4.0. This project arose with the idea of detecting opportunities for applying industry 4.0 technologies that would allow both responding to the needs of the wine production sector as well as solving problems that exist at companies in the sector. Considering that not only wine [...]

Development and validation of a mobile remote monitoring system to detect pre-frailty and frailty in independent senior citizens in order to maintain or encourage activity and physical exercise, thus benefitting their long-term well-being. The project aims to offer subjects an individualised and group-based plan to empower them throughout their life so that they have the strategies, abilities, resources, support and motivation required for them to reach the optimal bio-psycho-emotional and social well-being they need to reverse their frailty. The TeleDefrail solution is based on the use of the technological solution ekenku, developed by Eurecat, to monitor [...]

Innovative Gamification for Skiers system that will enable skiers to compete with each other, climb up the resort’s ranking and win prizes for their achievements and classifications. SKIWEARABLE II is a continuation of the SKIWEARABLE project, which developed a silicone wristband that allowed skiers to access mountain resorts and monitor their physical activity. SKIWEARABLE II has enhanced the wristband by implementing a gamification system with a potential market of 100 million skiers over 5,000 ski resorts. As well as being a gamification device for skiers, thanks to the development of new Big Data tools for the [...]

A solution for quality management in a production process and critical launch phases, which is oriented at sharing the information obtained between the components supplier and the end customer, with the objective of mitigating cost overruns and impacts on production. During the Gescal project, the main characteristics of product quality were sensorized/monitored within the components manufacturing process, and a system was developed for managing quality control information according to the customer’s standards. The system acts immediately in the event of quality deviations, therefore sharing real-time information with the customer. The solution combines the technologies of big [...]

A service (app server) for managing farms and streamlining the process of identifying workers who work on the farm. The APPERVITI project provides technicians and managers of wine-production companies with a way to facilitate the identification of every operator hired to perform specific tasks in the field. These operators are usually hired en masse to perform certain agricultural tasks (such as pruning or grape harvesting). Currently, company managers do not have flexible tools that allow technicians and foremen to verify that an operator who is present in the field is actually the hired operator; that allow [...]

Diagnostic tools and soil remediation techniques so to increase the efficiency of the political and social management of contaminated industrial sites. SOIL TAKE CARE project main objective is to develop experimental devices and innovative methodologies to achieve rapid, low-cost diagnoses of metal contamination in mining and industrial soils, as well as developing monitoring tools for air and water pollution in mining and industrial sites through the use of economic devices (biocapture) and modeling. On the other hand, the project aims at improving the development of two types of techniques for remediation of contaminated soils (injection of [...]

The RIS3CAT Water community comprises 56 organisations, including companies, technological centres, research centres, universities and associations.
