RELATED PROJECTS
- The company Trace ID and the group Twin Investors, in collaboration with the Textile Technology research group (TECTEX), which is part of the Institute of Textile Research and Industrial Cooperation of Terrassa (INTEXTER) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are developing electronic devices to identify, monitor, and study the traceability of the products in which they are embedded.
- The company Friselva S.A., Corporació Alimentària Guissona (bonÀrea), together with the Food Service Cluster and inLab FIB at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC), are participating in the Hydroless project, which aims to optimise water consumption in meat production plants. The project includes an innovative solution to monitor and optimise water use at bonÀrea’s plant in Guissona, as well as the design and development of a digital twin of Friselva’s facilities in Riudellots de la Selva.
- The EU-funded Quick Challenge-Driven, Human-Centred Co-Creation Mechanism for INDUStry-Academia Collaborations (INDUSAC) project has successfully developed and validated a new, human-centred, challenge-driven co-creation mechanism that connects industry with academia across Europe. Over three years of implementation, the project has supported international teams of students and researchers in tackling innovation needs directly submitted by companies. The INDUSAC project has created a dynamic community of industry-academia stakeholders focused on circularity, general sustainability, digitalisation and industry 4.0.
- The Hydrogeology Group (GHS) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating in the LIFE REMAR project to develop an innovative and sustainable solution for the reuse of treated wastewater through infiltration, with the aim of increasing the availability of freshwater resources and improving the state of ecosystems.
