General information

Short Summary
The Spanish research centre is specialised in the digitalisation of the industry, applying concepts such as Industry 4.0, digital twins, and virtual labs, by using multi-scale modelling tools for materials and processes, as well as multidisciplinary industrial engineering solutions, with the aim of improving production and innovative capacities, resource efficiency and workers' health. The centre seeks companies interested in collaboration under commercial agreement with technical assistance
Full Description
The international technological center is a Spanish non-profit private research foundation and competence center, founded by some of the main industries of the Castilla y León CyL region with the support of the regional government. The centre is a key player in the European strategy for the efficient management of industrial resources, energy efficiency, eco-innovation and substitution of critical raw materials with the aim of promoting the development of advanced materials for the regional network of industries and the valorization of the regional richness in raw materials, in line with its Smart and Intelligent Specialization Strategy (RIS3).

The technological service is focuses on offering companies solutions based on Industry 4.0, specifically in the application of digital twins and the implementation of virtual design laboratories and operational and endurance tests. These solutions make it possible to improve and guarantee the competitiveness of companies in the market, as well as to boost digitalisation to optimise various aspects.

In short, the centre is specialises in offering digitisation solutions through digital twins and virtual labs, with the goal of help companies improve their competitiveness, optimise resources, energy and emissions, and promote greater efficiency in the management of their processes. With a full-service consulting, implementation and monitoring, the centre serves the manufacturing, advanced materials, energy and raw materials extraction/production sectors that require digitisation solutions to drive their development and market success.

The centre is looking for international SME or big companies interested in the implementation of digital twins and virtual labs under commercial agreement with technical assistance, on a non-exclusive basis, with the support of the transfer of the technology and additional support services.
Advantages and Innovations
The application of these digitisation solutions gives companies the ability to efficiently integrate and leverage new and emerging elements in the industry, allowing them to adapt and stay at the forefront of innovation.
The aim of this technology is to improve and guarantee the competitiveness of companies through the search for a system that makes it possible to optimise the management of energy resources and, in the same way, to identify specific improvement measures at any point of the installation where direct or indirect information (derived from other variables) is available through digitalisation. The applications and opportunities offered to companies by this technology are numerous, including the improvement of process traceability and the reduction of maintenance and investment costs, as well as the efficient integration and greater use of new elements emerging in the industry.
