CTAG participates in the conference on Opportunities and challenges of 5G networks

Posted on 16 July, 2018 by desarrollo

The objective of this conference was to generate a forum for debate around the framework in which the 5G networks will be developed, the impact these networks will have on the Galician society, the challenges for its implementation and the potential of the Galician ICT hypersector to position itself in this emerging technology context.

Francisco Sánchez Pons, Director of Electronics and ITS at CTAG, made an exposition of the 5G specific initiatives of use that are developed in CTAG.

The conference took place at the convention hall of the CINC building of the Cidade da Cultura, in Santiago de Compostela and was organized by Amtega, (association of telecommunications engineers of Galicia).

CTAG collaborates on the development of standards for exoskeletons and other wearables

Posted on 3 July, 2018 by desarrollo

CTAG’s team serves as a bridge between industrial OEMs and exoskeleton manufacturers with the aim of improving the next generation of devices. It covers different areas, from analysis, validation and verification, to implementation at client sites and product improvement.

In addition, it contributes to the development of benchmarking and standardization. CTAG is part of the ASTM Committee F48 on Exoskeletons and Exosuits, a voluntary standard development initiative for devices such as exoskeletons and exosuits.

F48 has defined a series of technical subcommittees to develop standards in the areas of safety, quality, performance, ergonomics and terminology for systems and components.

CTAG will be involved in the following specific areas:

WK62649 Collaboration New Standard | Labeling and Information for Exoskeletons and Exosuits
WK60882 Collaboration New Standard | Exoskeletons and Exosuits

The F48 standards will be published in the ASTM Annual Book of Standards, Volume 15.08.

CTAG consolidates its participation in the HORIZON 2020 programme

Posted on 28 June, 201812 July, 2018 by desarrollo

CTAG continues its commitment to consolidate its participation in the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation (HORIZON 2020), continuing a journey that started in 2007. Since then, CTAG has participated in more than 40 projects, developed in collaboration with the main organisations of the automotive sector (vehicle manufacturers and first level suppliers), as well as with universities and other research organisations of reference in Europe.

These projects are at the technological forefront of the industry and, through the development and implementation of innovative solutions, contribute to a safer, smarter and more integrated mobility. Some examples of the latest projects supported by the EU and in which CTAG participates are the following:

GamECAR – Gamification of EcoDriving Behaviours through Intelligent Management of dynamic car and driver information
ECOFUNEL – Eco Design: Composite functionalization: thermal and electrical conductivity
5GCAR – Fifth Generation Communication Automotive Research and innovation
RECOTRANS – Integrated manufacturing of REciclable hybrid metalthermoplastic COmposites for the TRANSport sector.

CTAG visits Israel’s start-up ecosystem

Visita a la cápsula TAU de la Universidad de Tel Aviv

Representatives of CTAG visit Israel these days to deepen their knowledge of the Israeli innovation ecosystem, which has led this country to be known as the “Start-Up Nation”.

Several meetings are planned, including the one that will take place with Technion (Israel Institute of Technology), a global centre of reference for new technologies. CTAG will also visit the Smart City Transportation Lab, in which Mobileye (leading provider of software for advanced driver assistance systems) and MIT REAP (business acceleration programme linked to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) are represented, and will meet the Israeli agency for H2020 projects (EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation).

CTAG travels to Israel accompanied by IGAPE, which supports this trip through the Galicia Exporta Organismos Intermedios aid. The Spanish Embassy in Israel will also collaborate hosting some of the meetings.

This visit is the continuation of another expedition promoted by the Xunta de Galicia in February 2018 in which CTAG took part together with different Galician organisations and companies from various sectors.

The objective of this mission is to establish new commercial and institutional relationships in one of the most powerful innovation centres in the world, which will allow us to identify new opportunities for the Galician automotive industry linked to the mobility of the future, autonomous driving and Industry 4.0.

In addition, the event served to present some of the technological solutions on which CTAG is working, such as exoskeletons and wearables.

This presentation was attended by the General Director of Enerxía e Minas of the Xunta de Galicia, Ángel Bernardo Tahoces; the Territorial Delegate of the Xunta de Galicia in Pontevedra, José Manuel Cores; the Vice President of Human Resources of Applus+, José Delfín Pérez; CTAG’s General Director, Luis Moreno; and the Deputy General Director of SyC-Applus, Alberto Zalvide.

CTAG collaborates in exoskeleton study with Groupe PSA and MUTUA UNIVERSAL

Posted on 18 June, 2018 by desarrollo

Experts of CTAG’s Processes Department analyze the appropriation and efficiency in the processes of these devices in a study being performed at Groupe PSA site in Vigo.

The exoskeletons are devices that facilitate assistance to the muscular activity of certain anatomical areas through active means (with energy) or passive means (with mechanical redistribution to other muscular areas), thus contributing to the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.
