The aim of INNOESTAMP is to develop and demonstrate a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)-based surface treatment solution able to enhance the performance of tooling for press hardening of steel sheet. The project deals with the development of thick, nanostructured nitride-based PVD coatings and temperature resistant DLC coatings, with enhanced tribological properties through nanostructuring. Factors such as doping or the architecture of the coating and its influence on the final performance will be studied, in order to obtain an optimized solution. These solutions will be demonstrated in a press hardening pilot line, set up and validated during [...]

The IoECrops project improves the productivity, efficiency and resilience of large-scale crop production by supporting agricultural management through the use of technologies based on the Internet of Things (IoT). Over the course of the project, sensors were installed and tractors, seed drills and bale harvesters were connected to the Internet along with the irrigation and fertilization systems used in different fields, in order to improve the productivity of large-scale crop production. The sensors used gateways located on the machines or in the fields themselves (all of which were located in Catalonia) to connect to a cloud-based [...]

The KETRENOVIN project has obtained ingredients and products from new sources in order to respond to the challenges facing the health and nutrition industries, with demonstrable effectiveness on the health and wellbeing of animals and consumers alike. Over the course of the project, the healthiest supplements have been identified and developed with a view to improving the wellbeing of consumers or reducing the risk of developing a pathology. Additionally, innovative supplements and feeds have been developed to increase the value of the meat and its nutritional qualities, while also improving the health and wellbeing of animals [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

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. The products obtained in this project foresee to be incorporated in the context of a balanced diet for those people who regularly consume these types of meat derivatives. During the project, they evaluate and select bioactive and analogous fatty ingredients to develop meat products such as Burguer Meat and blood sausage. The execution of the project also contemplates the validation of the effects of its consumption on [...]

Design, development and verification of a personal health care system to promote and improve the self-care among patients with chronic cardiovascular diseases in different areas of their daily life in an easy, intuitive and simple way. During the Pulso a Punto project, an innovative platform has been developed. The platform integrates state-of-the-art sensory textiles with electronics and communication prompts. The platform derived from the project has focused on monitoring remotely the health status of patients with chronic diseases and at risk of suffering several complications. Cardiovascular diseases have a very significant impact on the European society [...]
