Digital Manufacturing Systems
Advanced and intelligent manufacturing for the digitalization of industrial processes.
We research and transfer solutions for the digital transformation of industrial processes, based on the integration of data, models, and intelligent systems, and supported by deep expertise in manufacturing processes.
We develop systems that combine data acquisition and analytics, digital twins, and artificial intelligence to enable advanced control, robotics, and continuous optimization capabilities in manufacturing environments.
We collaborate with companies in the industrialization and deployment of systems through digital platforms and scalable hardware and software architectures to improve their competitiveness.

Projects and success stories
We obtain and develop knowledge and capabilities for application to practical, real-world challenges with the help of technology.
COROB proposes a smart multi-robotic system for flexible manufacturing, catering to high-mix low-volume needs in Industry 5.0. Human-centered, it integrates robotics, inspection, monitoring, control, and AI from consortium and 15 third parties. Validated in pilots for automotive (multi-robot arc welding) and toolmaking (multi-robot WAAM), it enhances resilience, resource efficiency, circular economy, cost savings, and digital supply chain, boosting European industrial competitiveness.
