Sobre nosotros

Since January 2019 and for 48 months, Etxetar is part of The Zero Defects Manufacturing Platform (ZDMP), activity launched in with an investment of 19M€ provided by the 30 sponsoring companies and the European Commission. Its mission is to develop and establish a digital platform and related Apps for achieving excellence in manufacturing through zero defect processes and products.

ZDMP combines state of the art zero defect technological approaches based on commercial grade or open-source software, with built-in software for any gaps, and with an open development approach and App store. It focuses on both Process and Product quality modules for pre, during, supervisory, and post-production quality issues to ensure manufacturers are enabled for a Zero Defects environment

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 825631

IoTwins is a European project that aims to build a reference architecture for the development of efficient and distributed digital twins for specific manufacturing and facility management domains.

12 dedicated large-scale testbeds will collect large amounts of data to generate and refine the associated digital twins, including optimized models of resources, systems, and processes involved. IoTwins digital twins will be used to improve the efficiency of production processes and of facility management, as well as to demonstrate the replicability of the achieved results in similar scenarios and to determine new application areas and business models.

All the IoTwins testbeds share the same methodology: models that exploit big data and domain expert knowledge to accurately represent a complex system, such as an industrial plant, or a process, or a facility, with the ambition of predicting its temporal evolution and dynamics. The underlying technologies ground on the concept of distributed IoT-/edge- /cloud-enabled hybrid twins.

New Solutions based on Artificial Intelligence for the efficiency and flexibility of industrial production [INDUSTR-IA]

• Executive Summary: The project "New Artificial Intelligence-Based Solutions for the Efficiency and Flexibility of Industrial Production" aims to revolutionize the competitiveness of the industrial sector through more general, explainable, and accessible Artificial Intelligence (AI) models, complemented by digital twins. These models seek to simultaneously improve production, maintenance, and quality, while also integrating the energy dimension to optimize the use of renewable energy and participation in energy flexibility markets. Implementation will rely on an IIoT architecture distributed across Edge, Platform, and Enterprise layers, incorporating sensors, AI algorithms, and systems such as EMS and MES enhanced with AI to enable efficient decision-making and advanced industrial planning. The project will be carried out over four years and is structured into six key activities: dynamic planning and sequencing, design of digital twins, predictive maintenance, energy efficiency in industrial buildings, research and development of the virtual platform, and validation through use cases. To achieve these ambitious goals, a robust consortium has been formed, combining the theoretical knowledge of universities and research institutions (such as UNIOVI, BSC, and UPM) with the practical expertise of technology centers, tech SMEs, and large industrial companies (Aingura IIoT, Etxetar, ZEO, Neinsa, Ecointegral, and Plexigrid). This multidisciplinary collaboration will allow for modular or integrated implementation of the results, maximizing their impact on the digital and sustainable transformation of the industry.
