Research

At EDNON labs_ we invest in research and development projects. Our goal is to generate significant technological competitive advantages.

The goal is to allow us to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, adding differential value to our solutions and services.

EDNON labs_, in terms of research, cannot be separated from the level of innovation. It must respond to the needs identified and validated in the innovation funnel. As a direct consequence of the identification of an unresolved problem in our target markets.

In the execution of our investments in R&D we always use a collaborative strategy. This is an integral part of our business culture. We therefore rely on specialized knowledge centres as industrial partners that complement us and some of our top customers.

Title: Analytical System of Aggregate Performance of Workers and Robots in Manufacturing Operations (SARATROF)

Call: Connect Hubs 2021

No Dossier: IN852B 2021/16

Consortium: EDNON (leader), LEDISSON A&IT, ANCORA MOBILE, SITUM TECNOLOGIES, BETA IMPLANTS

Home / End: May 2021 / April 2023

The SARATROF project (Analytical System of the Aggregate Performance of Workers and Robots in Manufacturing Operations) aims to create an analytical tool to characterize the performance of factories by considering the behaviour of robots in an aggregated way, machines, IT systems and the workers themselves, with the aim of increasing the competitiveness of production. The review of the state of the art indicates that this type of aggregation is entirely new, and the consortium will try to validate its real value through experiments deployed in a pilot.

The general objectives of this project are therefore:

  • Implement a metaplatform for the integration and automation of data analysis processes from various platforms. This system will form the basis on which data from different silos can be shared and research and develop the data and analytical science needed to calculate cross-insights.
  • Investigate combined AI and ML models for complex insights that allow interrelationships to be established across the various layers of the production process.

This collaborative project is part of the Connect Hubs 2021 program. This is a programme subsidised by the Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN) with financial support from the European Union (co-financed by ERDF funds under the operational programme Feder Galicia 2014-2020). In addition, it receives the support of the Second Vice Presidency and the Ministry of Economy, Enterprise and Innovation of the Xunta de Galicia.

The PROMETHEUS project: IIoT platform for safe and sustainable manufacturing in distributed environments aims to develop an industrial HW/SW platform based on the paradigm of the Internet of Things (IoT, Internet of Things) and Big Data technologies.

PROMETHEUS will design a service-oriented architecture, which will allow monitoring in real time (capturing information from various sources such as sensors, machines, etc.) several different manufacturing centers belonging to the same group, considerably improving communication between geographically separated factories or departments through the horizontal, smooth and secure exchange and operation of information.

The objectives of this platform will be:

– Improve energy efficiency, optimising management and minimising costs related to the energy consumption of factories during their daily activities, as well as ensuring sustainability and environmental efficiency of the manufacturing process.

– Intrusion detection and security. Through advanced machine learning techniques, strange patterns or behaviors will be identified in the industrial network infrastructure, allowing early and real-time detection of anomalous events and/or threats.

The objective of the ELIIoT project:

It is the design and development of a platform for advanced monitoring of equipment and production processes in an industrial manufacturing plant.

The system consists of an Edge Gateway. It has the ability to analyze data in real time, which acts as a hub collecting information at the plant level and transmitting the data to an application deployed in the cloud.

The ELIIoT project therefore has two main pillars:

  • Connectivity and efficient exchange of information. It is carried out through the application of new communications technologies (IoT paradigm, cyberphysical systems, etc.)
  • The existence of a flexible and data-centric computing infrastructure (Big Data, Data Analytics).

In short, from these elements, the ELIIoT project will build an innovative system for the deployment of new services that generate added value in the business layers. It is done by exploiting all information collected at the plant level, contributing substantially to the modernization and development of the connected industry.
