Work modality: On siteEurecatis the main Research & Technology Organisation in Catalonia and the second largest private research organization in southern Europe. It brings together the experience of more than 700 professionals and provides services to more than 2,000 companies. Applied R&D, technological services, highly specialized training, technological consultancy or valorisation and exploitation of industrial property are some of the services that Eurecat offers for both large and small and medium-sized enterprises in all sectors. The technology centre participates in more than 200 large national and international consortium projects of high strategic R&I and has 181 patents and 10 spin-offs. The added value provided by Eurecat accelerates innovation, reduces spending on scientific and technological infrastructures, reduces risks and provides specialized knowledge tailored to each company.
Advanced Manufacturing Systems (AMS) Unit concentrates its efforts on research and development to new flexible, high efficiency, and high-productivity manufacturing technologies. These technologies that integrate AMS can be classified through the Photonic Line, the Ultrasound Line, the Microwave Line, the Additive Manufacturing Line, the BioMedical Line, and the Machines Line.
Eurecat in partnernship with URV (Rovira and Virgili University) opens a PhD scholarship position to carry out research on predictive manufacturing by photonic technology for the industry 4.0.
The development of the thesis will focus on the study and implementation of sensors by photonic technologies within the framework of industry 4.0. The sensors will be validated with the implementation of artificial vision, as well as the development of predictive intelligence algorithms to anticipate possible failures in manufacturing as predictive maintenance towards an industry with zero defects.
Mainly the PhD will be addresses to the health, food and textile sectors using the same technology. In each sector, photonic technology will be customized and implemented to achieve efficient monitoring, improve quality control and, in addition to work in real time and without contact.
