 Posted on by desarrollo
JEC World 2019, The Leading International Composites Show. Paris Nord Villepinte, march 12-13-14, 2019. CTAG: Visit Us at hall 6, stand G84

The event will be held at the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center from 12 to 14 March. CTAG will show its latest R&I results based on multifunctional and high-performance composites created to promote innovative solutions on thermal (heating/cooling through Joule/Peltier effects with integrated capacitive activation and near field sensor ability), visual (integrated lightening, natural materials for noble aesthetics) and acoustic comfort (acoustic surfaces) for vehicle interiors.

This is the most important event in Europe concerning composites, where exhibitors will present innovations in different sectors such as the automobile, aerospace, building, civil engineering industry, etc.

Our Materials Innovation Area researchers and the commercial team will be at our stand and are at your disposal to set up a meeting beforehand. You will find us in Hall 6, Stand G84, next to AUTO PLANET where we will be pleased to receive you.

CTAG returns to Israel to delve into its Start-ups ecosystem


 Posted on by desarrollo

CTAG visits Tel Aviv again, one of the most powerful innovation centers in the world, with the aim of identifying new opportunities for the Galician automotive industry around the mobility of the future and Industry 4.0.

The visit has highlighted the interest in activities focused on autonomous driving, driving assistance and improving productivity in industrial plants, allowing to see first-hand how the start-up methodology is applied in these fields.

In addition, it has allowed to search for new technologies and products and to get in contact with companies set up in Israel in order to establish possible collaborations, for which common areas of interest, such as product and process design or electronic integration have been identified. The objective is to lay the foundations for possible collaborations in CTAG’s activities and to study, together with possible partners, the execution of European projects.

This trip is also useful to consolidate the commercial and institutional relations in Israel, since the visit gives continuity to previous expeditions in which CTAG participated together with Galician organisations and companies from different sectors.

This award recognises the work of both organisations in the development and implementation of a methodology that allows the validation of exoskeletons as support systems for industrial production line workers.

The Innovation and Health Awards, granted by Mutua Universal, are intended to reward the work of those companies that are highly committed to health promotion and that have carried out innovative projects or actions that represent an improvement in the quality of life and in the health of workers, beyond the compliance with labour risk prevention regulations.

In its fourth edition, one of the Institutional Awards of the Innovation and Health Awards has been given to the collaboration between Groupe PSA and the Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia (CTAG). This recognition highlights the work carried out by these organisations in the development and implementation of the methodology that allows the validation of exoskeletons as support systems for industrial production line workers, which contribute to the preservation of their health and wellbeing by making the company a better and safer space.

Groupe PSA has contributed its experience in the online manufacturing process and ergonomic improvements. For their part, the experts in exoskeletons of CTAG’s Processes and Materials Division have analyzed the adequacy and efficiency in the processes, developing an exoskeleton evaluation methodology that allows to determine which complementary physical assistance device adapts to a specific workplace, establishing if such device helps effectively in the task so that, based on the results, its use is recommended or not in a definitive way.

 

CTAG presents the challenges of autonomous driving in Lisbon


 Posted on by desarrollo

Francisco Sánchez, Electronics & ITS Director at CTAG, is visiting Lisbon these days to participate in various workshops on technologies and challenges related to autonomous driving.

Paisaje, Lisboa.The first one, CREATE the Next Generation IoT eXperience for the Future, is held between February 26 and 28 and aims to foster links between communities of IoT (Internet of Things) users and providers, as well as with EU Member States’ initiatives

CTAG participates in two of the four sessions that make up the programme by presenting the AUTOPILOT project (Automated Driving Progressed by Internet of Things), a platform in development for connected vehicles that integrates infrastructure, IoT objects and vehicle, with special attention to automated driving safety. This project develops a range of services that combine autonomous driving and IoT, such as car sharing, autonomous parking service and the improvement of digital maps for autonomous vehicles.

On February 28, the AUTOCITS Workshop will take place, focusing on the challenges in autonomous driving implementation, with the participation of leading professionals in the sector. Francisco Sánchez will give a presentation on the technical challenges for autonomous and connected driving.

Instalaciones Process Lab 4.0

El proyecto, liderado por Groupe PSA, tiene tres objetivos principales: responder a los desafíos de la Industria 4.0 con un I+D+i enfocado al diseño de procesos para la fábrica del futuro (virtual, ágil, conectada y respetuosa con el medio ambiente); diseñar y desarrollar productos y sistemas para el vehículo del futuro (autónomo, conectado, limpio, atractivo y asequible); y validar estos nuevos procesos y productos. Este proyecto servirá además como palanca de mejora para reforzar la competitividad del Sector de Automoción de Galicia en los próximos años.

Desde septiembre de 2016, fecha de arranque del proyecto, se han realizado diversos trabajos de investigación industrial y desarrollo experimental, entre los que destacan la implementación de tecnologías 4.0 tales como el uso de Big Data en entornos productivos, el control de calidad automático por visión artificial o la integración de exoesqueletos como ayuda en la mejora de la ergonomía de los puestos de trabajo. También destacan los resultados en la aplicación de conectividad a la conducción autónoma, con validación en un simulador virtual y en vehículos automatizados.

El proyecto Factoría 4.0 de Automoción tiene una duración de 62 meses y está cofinanciado por la  Axencia Galega de Innovación – Consellería de Economía, Emprego e Industria de la Xunta de Galicia (expediente IN854A 2016/01)

Vehículo autónomo de CTAG, con un semáforo conectado en primer plano.The MOBiLus consortium has been designated as the winning Innovation Community on Urban Mobility by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT).

The EIT has appointed the MOBiLus consortium to develop one of its innovation communities, the “Knowledge Innovation Community (KIC) on Urban Mobility”. This consortium consists of 48 partners from 15 countries: 13 cities, 18 universities and technology centres and 17 large companies focused on mobility, including CTAG, BMW, SEAT, Siemens, TomTom, Oracle, Fraunhofer, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, University College London, etc.

EIT Innovation Communities are public-private partnerships whose objective is to find solutions to major societal challenges in areas with high innovation potential, in this case Urban Mobility.

The aim of MOBiLus is to strengthen European competitiveness, improve access to mobility and increase attractiveness of cities under the motto “Mobility for Liveable Urban Spaces”.

The MOBiLus approach addresses five strategic objectives:

  • Being Europe’s driver for knowledge and innovation in mobility
  • Training the next generation of urban mobility practitioners
  • Leveraging and upgrading ideas for deployment
  • Accelerating tomorrow’s mobility services and solutions to the market
  • Replicate and scale new mobility solutions to Europe and beyond

This project will be managed by the headquarters in Barcelona, ​​along with four other innovation hubs in Europe, Copenhagen (Denmark), Prague (Czech Republic), Munich (Germany) and Helmond (The Netherlands). In the next seven years, the EIT will directly contribute 400 million euros to this initiative.

First results can be expected in 2020.

Since its inception, CTAG is in the origin or is an active member of several local, national and European projects, providing the automotive sector with its experience and R&D&I capabilities. Currently, it participates in more than 50 collaborative projects, 25 at European level. CTAG has been working on the consortium candidacy for 2 years.
