AIDIMME / Sectors / Automotive and Transportation / Our services


Our capabilities and services are developed in the following areas of knowledge:


Innovation and product improvement

desc
  • Incorporation of Additive Manufacturing technologies (3D printing) in the design and redesign of products and tools.
  • Ecodesign, incorporation of sustainability and recyclability criteria in conventional design / conceptual redesign, detail, mechanical, mechatronic, ergonomic ... of components.
  • Integration of ICT in products to provide them with data exchange capabilities (IoT).
  • Optimization of product design and validation processes incorporating calculation and simulation using advanced CAE tools in multiphysical environments (structural, thermal, fluid dynamics, vibrations, electromagnetism) in static and dynamic conditions.
  • Validation of operating and design conditions through the instrumentalization of products and equipment in service and correlation of CAE and experimental results.
  • Manufacturing of prototype products and tools including electronic components (custom printed circuit boards), expanding the capabilities of conventional technologies with additive manufacturing (plastic and metal) and post-processing thermal and surface.

Innovation in coatings

desc
  • Improvement of coatings through the use of nanoparticles for surface functionalization.
  • Development of new alternative coatings to conventional ones by means of sol-gel technology (reduction of thicknesses-lightening, resistance to corrosion, mechanical resistance, absorption of contaminants ...).
  • Reduction of the environmental impact of coatings by studying and improving the products and their application processes.

Innovation in E I4.0 processes

desc
  • Advice to companies for their conversion into Smart Factory and incorporation into the 4.0 Connected Industry (i4.0) environment by performing situation diagnoses, defining road maps and tutoring in technological integration projects.
  • Digitalization of industrial processes throughout the supply chain through sensorization, monitoring, automation, robotization (HMI and SCADA), equipment control and design and implementation of Big Data and Machine Learning solutions.

Sustainable innovation

desc
  • Analysis and reduction of environmental impact through the application of advanced environmental management tools: Ecodesign, LCA, ecolabelling, environmental product declaration (EPD), disassembly and recyclability, carbon footprint, water footprint, green purchase criteria.
  • Development and implementation of industrial symbiosis projects, circular economy and development of sustainability reports.
  • Improvement of the sustainability of processes through technical-legislative advice on environmental, industrial safety and the implementation and audit of management systems.

Innovation in materials and continuous improvement

desc

    Development and search of new applications of materials (metallic, polymers, wood and derivatives) and coatings (organic and metallic):

  • Chemical composition of alternative and more sustainable materials and production processes.
  • Reduction of emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds - VOCs and odors.
  • Improvement of fire behavior (reaction).
  • Improvement of behavior against aggressive conditions and aging: temperature, humidity, corrosion, solar radiation, vibration.
  • Study of dimensional stability through geometric verification.

Advice and approval

desc
  • Analysis and testing according to manufacturers' specifications and international standards for the approval of products in the transport sector (automotive, railway, aeronautical).
  • Analysis, evaluation and approval of parts packaging and containers according to manufacturer standards (Nissan, Mercedes, Renault and suppliers).
  • Analysis and tests for the approval-approval of type of packaging of dangerous goods.
  • Analysis of defects and causes of failure, assessment and preparation of technical reports in legal proceedings.
