The inLab FIB of the UPC is participating with the company Kapture Intelligence in a project to improve quality control systems in manufacture processes, based on a model of an artificial intelligence algorithm that detects when a part or product has suffered from a drop in quality level.
Kapture Intelligence is a company that is dedicated to the design, development, maintenance, marketing, distribution and exploitation of software, systems and IT products for managing quality in the industrial sector.
Recently, a service has been developed called Kapture.io, which offers clients tools for digitalisation of quality control processes and use of the information via graphic tools and an aggregate of data with Business Intelligence tools. The aim of this software is to gather all the data that are generated in the industry, in manual and automatic processes, digitalise them and integrate them into a single platform.
As part of the project, an algorithm has been designed and implemented that is based on various models of artificial intelligence (AI) that detects, in a preventative way and through patterns, when a part or product has suffered a drop in quality level. This detection is based on measures that are gathered at hundreds of points over a period of time.
In the project, inLab FIB was responsible for implementing the models of artificial intelligence (AI) that can detect patterns and warn of those that could lead to a drop in the level of quality.
The period of execution of the project was between January and April 2023.

- Microalgae-based wastewater treatment systems have demonstrated the ability to recover nutrients from wastewater and produce valuable biomass for agricultural applications while also recovering energy through the anaerobic digestion of residual biomass. In the Cyan2Bio project, in which the Group of Environmental Engineering and Microbiology (GEMMA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is participating, an additional step will be taken in the valorisation of microalgae biomass to obtain biopolymers suitable for transformation into bioplastics alongside pigments, thereby replacing fossil-based materials.
- Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, and age-related disorders, have been widely studied due to their significant impact on individuals and society. So far, these are incurable and debilitating diseases that lead to progressive degeneration and death of nerve cells, resulting in cognitive and mobility impairments. Tremors, mainly at rest, slowness of movement (bradykinesia), limb rigidity, and issues with gait and balance are typical motor disorders related to Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, due to progressive muscle atrophy, these issues can lead to falls, which in turn result in further complications and risks to quality of life.
- The energy transition is reshaping the foundations of the power grid, driven by the massive deployment of renewable generation based on power electronics and the gradual disconnection of conventional fossil-based generation. In this context, grid operators will require support systems to provide flexibility, as renewable generation is highly variable.
- The Biological Treatment of Gaseous Pollutants and Odours Group (BIOGAP) at UPC is participating in the BIOMETCRI project, which aims to implement an innovative biotechnological process to recycle batteries from electric and hybrid vehicles, recovering valuable metals such as cobalt, lithium, nickel, and manganese.
