Strategic Alliances Joining Technologies In our research, we incorporate advanced technologies and new develop- ments to improve current joining and repair processes, and efficiently deve- lop the products of the future by providing answers to the current challen- ges (lighter materials, sustainability, zero defects or digitalisation) faced by industrial sectors and by society. Technological lines: Laser welding Friction welding Arc welding Simulation Materials Digitalisation Technologies We research into enabling technologies for digital transformation and their implementation in industrial manufacturing processes. We develop high value-added digital solutions based on control and robotics, computer vision, data analysis, AI and digital platforms. Technological lines: Data analysis Control and robotics Artificial vision Digital platforms Additive Manufacturing Technologies Thanks to our detailed knowledge of manufacturing processes, metallurgy and metallic materials, we design products and systems, and research into advanced additive manufacturing and component repair processes, using state-of-the-art software and hardware and integrating digitalisation technologies.
