Development and implementation of smart and innovative technologies in naval and metal-mechanics sectors

---

---

The project aims to effectively transfer to the Naval and Metalworking industries new and low-cost advanced manufacturing technologies, as real and measurable examples of the improvements that R&D&I can provide. That will result in the following benefits: Intensification of the relationships between research centers and companies, Incentive effect of the implementation of 4.0 technologies in a strategic sector for the Euro-region Galicia-North of Portugal. This way, the benefits that the adoption of this new approach of the Factory 4.0 can bring to the change, growth and modernization of the cross-border sector will be evident, clearly contributing to the specific objective in which the project is framed.
The 4.0 technification of the naval and metal-mechanics sectors of the Euro-region will be achieved, based on SMEs, achieving the development and transfer to these industries of new and low-cost advanced manufacturing KETs, and, with this, a notable increase in the number of patents requested in this field. This will enable, in the medium to long term, to have a joint collaboration structure in the field of advanced manufacturing for the sector in the Euro-region, and an industrial fabric with high technical capacity, both in development, implementation and exploitation of manufacturing technologies. The interaction of specialized technologists and the low cost to carry it out are the main innovative contributions.


This project is cofinanced by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the programme INTERREG V-A Spain/Portugal (POCTEP 2014 -2020)
