SME R&D PRACTICES – a whole R&D Strategy from an insect trap
Without any R&D practice, the company challenged us to support them in developing new projects and services. We set the first collaborative R&D project, EyesOnTraps, ``Smart Learning Traps for Vineyard Health Monitoring``, obtaining financing with European funds. Thus, we created the foundations for internalizing R&D practices and currently have 3 R&D projects with our support.
FOOD TECH - Guiding for the fourth industrial revolution
In the scope of the PFoods_Qualifica project, we help to raise awareness and contribute to invigorating the Food Industry with international trends and best practices in Industry 4.0 and the digital economy. Our Information Guides intend to encourage and guide the fourth industrial revolution in the sector.
SMART CITIES - Bridging the gap between research and business practice
Together with IT researchers, we designed the idea and found adequate funding to build an open innovation ecosystem in Intelligent Transport Systems and Services (ITS) in Portugal's Center Region. The result was deploying an ITS platform on the roads and railways, close to Aveiro beach, available for public entities, companies, and individual users.
WINETECH - Using a SDI to deal with climate change in the Douro
We supported an innovative research project called INFRAVINI that developed an SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) for a consortium formed by four entities (a company, a university, a research center, and a producer association). This INFRAVINI will help Douro wine producers monitor the quality of their wine production in real-time and, therefore, be more resilient to climate change.
