RESEARCH AREAS
Industry 4.0
Description
For CARTIF, the fourth industrial revolution allows the production assets to be interconnected in the factory and in the value chain (suppliers, customers, logistics, etc.) so that responsible managers of the factory can give an agile response to different changes such as unexpected breakdowns or variations in product specifications by the customer.
CARTIF, as a technology transfer center, works on the development of innovative enabling technologies that allow manufacturing companies to advance in the application of the “Industry 4.0” philosophy in their production processes, with the ultimate goal of improving the efficiency of their processes and not simply as a mere application of “cool” technologies.
