Twenty-two professionals from the different companies that make up the whole project gathered at a technical meeting for the TELL ME project that was held on April 16 and 17 at the German city of Münchberg. Main topics included a visit to German textile company, and TELL ME partner, Profitex, and its associated companies, a kick off meeting for the project components related to the real-virtual worlds interoperability infrastructure, multimedia learning, and human centric industrial workplaces. Presentations and discussions affecting the user requirements and business validation, and the alignment of architecture, integration and testing with the methodology being created about creativity and learning, were also addressed.

Investigation of structural and environmental behaviour to fire through tests and numerical simulation of wooden construction elements with functionality based on habitat. COMPFIREWOOD 2

The Project COMPFIREWOOD-2 is a continuation of the Project started in 2011, COMPFIREWOOD-1, in which are raised some reformulations and changes in the studied matter.

The overall objective of this project is to research and develop products, materials, technologies and processes for producing wood-based building elements, high performance behavior to resistance and reaction to fire, for use in habitat as well as covering elements, such as sectorization element, hollow enclosure of structural bearing capacity as wooden core columns and beams.

This Project carried out with support of European funds and funds coming from IMPIVA,  has the aim of control in the manufacturing line the formaldehyde emission of wood based panels with a new and reliable method and with practically no interferences coming from other compounds.  Read more →

TELL ME Technology Enhanced Learning Livinglab For Manufacturing Environments project develops a management and learning platform through virtual technologies right at the workplace.

The Furniture, Wood and Packaging Technology Institute, AIDIMA, is participating in the European project “Technology Enhanced Learning Livinglab for Manufacturing Environments”, TELL ME, with the ambitious goal to promote an assistance system for blue collar workers belonging to European SME’s that will allow them to obtain training and gain access to assembly plans, documents, or any other piece of information needed in order to perform their jobs accurately. All this will be possible thanks to augmented reality technologies through wireless devices and consequently, leaving their “hands free”.. Read more →

MODELPACK Project.

Objectives: The main goal of the project is to support the competitiveness of the European SMEs in the corrugated board packaging sector by the creation of a software tool, based on:

• Analysis of recycled materials
• Prediction of structural properties
  Application of practical models

The project, whose full development lasted  two years, aimed to design autonomous devices based on different technologies available today that can be incorporated into the furniture of both domestic and public uses, and it can perform various functions in the field of energy management, safety, welfare and communication (Domotic systems).

The project goal is to design a distributed e-Manufacturing, to organize, plan and control the manufacturing shared process in a cluster of furniture production, composed by companies of the value chain sector (manufacturers of furniture and suppliers of products and services.)

The manufacturing process shared begins from a need (demand) of a cluster client, transmitted via the Internet. The cluster will run as Virtual Factory, sharing skills and resources to meet a temporary concrete demand.

As a result of the project will achieve the design of a Distributed Virtual Manufacturing System, and a demonstrative prototype, that can be used for clusters of companies in the industry value chain of furniture industry
