CIT UPC - Food, agriculture and the marine environment

MARLIT: Improve protection, monitoring and prevention in the face of risks of ocean storms with a high impact on the coast
The aim of the MARLIT project is to improve the knowledge and development of tools to understand the impacts of current and future storms on the coast (damage, flooding and population security), to support the management of coastal risk by government bodies. Participants in this project include the Maritime Engineering Laboratory (LIM) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC).
SLAGREEF: Solutions for the 3D manufacture of marine biotopes through steel slag recycling
Climate change is dramatically affecting coastal zones. Storms are altering beaches and urban installations on the coastline, producing serious damage to marine ecosystems caused by pollution.
GroPeRBot: An autonomous robotic system to detect soil humidity using georadar technology
To improve efficiency and efficacy in the use of irrigation water in agriculture and in the transformation of foods, the GroPeRBot emerged. Participants include the Center for Industrial Equipment Design-Dynamics of Machines (CDEI) and the Geophysics and Earthquake Engineering (GiES) group of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC).
A project to improve the integrated control of pests using photonic engineering is successfully completed
The Automatic Hyperspectral Pest Counter, a project developed by the Sensors, Instrumentation and Systems Development Center (CD6) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), has been completed successfully.
GOPHYTOVID: Optimisation of the use of plant health products based on plant vigour maps
The Agricultural Machinery Unity (UMA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) has participated in the GOPHYTOVID project to develop an automatic, universal device for the variable application of plant health products, based on plant vigour maps.
Smart spraying of plant health products for vineyards and olivetrees
The Agricultural Machinery Unit (UMA) of the UPC is coordinating the national project Smart Spraying for Sustainable Vineyards and Olive Trees (PIVOS). The aim of the project is to demonstrate the benefits of smart spraying of plant health products for sustainable use of pesticides in vineyards and olive trees. These benefits include maintaining biological efficacy and reducing economic and environmental costs.
