INESC TEC highlights maritime safety at the Sea Forum

INESC TEC has once again participated in the Sea Forum, which took place between 28 and 30 May, at EXPONOR, in Portugal. At the event, the institute from Porto had the opportunity to showcase its competences in unmanned systems – used to improve maritime safety and to reduce cross border irregular entries – by organising two workshops on the theme. Other highlights included the NATO seminar, also supported by INESC TEC, the TEC4SEA, an offshore lab led by INESC TEC, and the signing of a protocol with the Portuguese Ministry of Defence.

INESC TEC helps implement innovative assembly line

INESC TEC is part of the Production Technologies Cluster (PRODUTECH), which demonstrated the new assembly line of the company ADIRA, the ADIRA Production System. The entire manufacturing system was designed and implemented with innovative technology, including software to optimise production and autonomous vehicles that supply each work station with the materials necessary to assemble customised orders. INESC TEC’s Centre for Enterprise Systems Engineering (CESE) and Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems (CROB)* developed almost the entire manufacturing system.
