FRAMEWORK

The industrial sector currently faces a highly complex scenario, where the demand for more sophisticated and efficient products poses significant challenges for companies. Digital transformation and the rise of Industry 4.0 introduce new pressures and opportunities, requiring rapid, integrated, and technologically advanced responses.

 

 

At the same time, there is a growing need to adopt sustainable practices and more efficient development methodologies. In this context, the IDEx MACHINA project emerges as a strategic response to the need for innovation in industrial machinery development processes, simultaneously promoting competitiveness and sustainability.

 

 

Proposed Solutions

The project aims to create an integrated digital platform for the complete development of industrial machines, from the mechanical design phase to the programming of automatons and virtual simulation of their operation.

 

 

This platform will feature advanced motion simulation, interoperable communication with robots from various brands, and integration of XR (extended reality) technology. By creating digital twins and an immersive interface, users will be able to validate projects more efficiently and with less risk. This holistic approach will reduce development time and costs, eliminating redundancies and promoting effective multidisciplinary collaboration.

CONTRIBUTION FROM CCG/ZGDV

The CCG/ZGDV Institute, as an R&D institution with strong expertise in computer graphics and immersive technologies, will be responsible for developing innovative solutions in virtual simulation, digital twins, and XR.

 

 

 

CCG’s role is pivotal in designing visualisation and interaction tools that enable efficient validation and optimisation of industrial projects in virtual environments. Furthermore, CCG will lead the integration of emerging technologies into the IDEx MACHINA platform, ensuring the solution’s
