RELATED PROJECTS
- 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.
- A research team led by the Mobile Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Group (RAIG) of the Institute of Robotics and Industrial Informatics (IRI, CSIC-UPC) at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is taking part in the European project TRIFFID (auTonomous Robotic aId For increasing FIrst responDers efficiency). The aim is to develop a platform to support rescue operations in emergency situations. The initiative combines advanced robotics, artificial intelligence and immersive interfaces to enhance safety and accelerate response in hazardous environments.
- The Centre of Technological Innovation in Power Electronics and Drives (CITCEA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is leading a European project that redesigns the current energy system to stabilise the power grid in the face of high renewable energy penetration. The proposed solutions involve using the loads that consume energy to help balance the grid.
- A team from the Environment Centre Laboratory (LCMA) of the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya - BarcelonaTech (UPC) is taking part in a study commissioned by the city councils of la Llagosta, Mollet and Santa Perpètua (in Vallès Occidental), with the main objective of identifying the impact of industrial plants on the generation of unpleasant odours and continuously monitoring air quality in these municipalities.
