Design and development of a power train system for electric scooters with specific technology, thus making up for a national lack of technology to meet the needs of future electric vehicle manufacturers. The iBPACK project has developed an electronic energy and power management system for electric scooters with specific technology, especially in the battery extraction and charging system and in the battery cell charging and discharging programmes. The battery management system, or BMS, which uses a communication system based on IoT technology to locate and diagnose the state of the battery from a distance, sends information [...]

Intelligent monitoring system for the predictive maintenance of the critical elements of bogies, based on the processing of acoustic emissions. The BEA project has developed tools to detect, locate and diagnose emerging cracks in the critical elements of bogies, such as the axles and wheel tread, and to predict the development of the fracture once it has been detected. A bogie, the chassis on which a current locomotive or train carriage sits, is made up of a platform of two or three axles and their corresponding wheels, attached to the vehicle through a vertical swivel. The [...]

Reformulation of the genotyping technique using xMAP technology, which is capable of analysing multiple Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) variants to be used in generating dietary plans tailored to the needs of each individual, and customised face creams based on their genes. The genotype for dietary plans and face creams will be accompanied first by an analysis of urine metabolomics, using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) technology, in order to monitor the customised dietary plan, and a facial microbiota analysis using the mass sequencing technique, to evaluate the efficacy of the cosmetic product. The YB-METAGENCODE project aims to [...]

New platform for the sharing of medical information based on Blockchain and IPFS (the InterPlanetary File System), with patients being given control of their data, allowing or refusing access on the part of doctors, hospitals and research centres. The platform My_Health_Data_Control will allow patients to know at all times who is accessing their data, when, where from and why, and will also include a tokenisation system for healthcare assets and services, along with the sharing of clinical data. The project outcomes will serve to reduce the administrative complexity that exists today in the sector, will help [...]

The tools to be developed include an online 3D content display platform with editing and surveillance tools specifically focused on the security sector, a documentation, display and 3D content generation system, and a series of software components to [...]

Modular management and decision-making support platform integrating devices, people and processes within one single environment to provide integrated comprehensive management of traceability, quality and industrial maintenance. The SCOuT platform will use artificial intelligence (AI), automatic learning and process mining, among other technologies, to develop predictive and prescriptive tools to be included within a system to support production and comprehensive management, traceability and maintenance of operations. These integrated technologies will identify scenarios in real time and predict their future systemic statuses, providing recommendations to adjust processes and preventive alarms, through monitoring, oversight, supervision and protection of the [...]

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 [...]

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 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 [...]

The CULTIVASOL project develops new greenhouses prepared for crops in times of high temperature and radiation through the improvement of the ventilation and the integration of flexible photovoltaic energy systems in the structure to achieve the energetic autonomy. CULTIVASOL represents the perfect synergy between two crucial sectors for the welfare of society such as agriculture and energy sector. CULTIVASOL, started in July 2018, will end in December 2020. The CULTIVASOL project is the result of the collaboration between Estructuras Solares del Mediterráneo S.L. (SOLARES), with extensive experience in the design, manufacture and commercialization of greenhouses, CETENMA, [...]

The Near-Field Lift Encoder project develops and validates a new system for the precise measurement of the position of the cabin in elevators based on microwave technology and printed encoders. The Near-Field Lift Encoder system is more robust against adverse environmental conditions and more reliable for the effects of dirt (inherent in elevator environments), compared to other equivalent existing systems on the market, which are based on optical technology. The project consortium comprises three entities: Hohner Automáticos, coordinating the project, the Metamaterials Research Center for Innovation in Electronic and Communications Technologies of the Autonomous University of [...]

The MyVENT project aims to improve home mechanical ventilation patients’ treatment and health care with the implementation of a smart telemedicine technology system. The system includes a web platform, supporting professionals, and a mobile platform, enabling patients with home mechanical ventilation needs to follow the therapy remotely and being involved in the therapy actively. The MyVENT system, allows both professionals and patients to have access to the information about the machine, adherence to therapy and the physiological (patient) and electromechanical (of the machine that provides HMV) more relevant parameters and variables. In addition, the patient will [...]
