project summary
Approved by the INTERREG Portugal-Spain Programme, as a result of a partnership between GAIN, AIMEN, ACLUNAGA, CATIM, INES TEC and ANI, the MANUFACTUR 4.0 project aims to transfer the Naval-Metal-mechanical sector of the Euro-Region Galicia-North Portugal, of new advanced production technologies, as real and measurable examples of the improvements resulting from the introduction of R+D+i processes.
This objective will translate into the following advantages:
- Intensification of relations between research centers and companies;
- Incentive effect in terms of the implementation of 4.0 technologies in a strategic sector for the Euro-Region Galicia-Norte de Portugal.
This project fits into the specific objective OE1B – Improving the participation of the business sector in innovation processes and in R+D+i activities closer to the market.

eLEARNING PLATFORM
Within the scope of this project, an online course was prepared and made available, covering six different training contents or technological themes, which is available for general access via an e-learning platform. This course is particularly aimed at the business community in the naval and metalworking sectors (Languages: Portuguese and Spanish).
The training contents provided cover various topics, such as: augmented reality, robotic cutting and welding, robotic machine tending, non-contact dimensional control (3D scanning), among others.
To request the credentials to access the course, it will be necessary to fill out and send the registration form.
MISSION REVERSE
november 2020
On November 19, 2020, as part of the MANUFACTUR4.0 project, a webinar was held with the objective of presenting the main results achieved with this project, specifically the technological demonstrators that were developed. This session featured a debate panel where several companies in the naval and metalworking sector were invited to participate and present their contributions regarding the themes under consideration. Several bilateral meetings were also held with invited companies, with the aim of sharing experiences and identifying future projects.
CLOSING DAY
December 2020
The Galician Innovation Agency – GAIN and the MANUFACTUR 4.0 consortium, of which CATIM is a partner, organized, on December 3rd, an event that marked the end of this project. The event, which took place in digital format and in which the main results of this project were presented, had the participation of Salvador Naya Fernández, Vice-Rector of the University of A Coruña. This session also included the holding of a "Debate Table", consisting of representatives of the various partner institutions of the Consortium, and which was present, representing CATIM, Vânia Pacheco, responsible for the CATIM Projects Unit.
Co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), under the INTERREG VA Spain – Portugal (POCTEP) 2014-2020 program, the MANUFACTUR 4.0 project aimed at the study, development and transfer, to the Industry of the Naval and Metalworking sectors, of new technological solutions that will make all the difference in responding to the challenges faced by these companies under i4.0.
