Recovery – Resilience – Reindustrialisation

PRR - Produtech - CePHIM

This project focuses on developing and applying Friction Stir-Welding (FSW) to create hollow cooling channels for optimised mould refrigeration. As part of this initiative, a telemetry system will be developed to monitor and optimise the process, collecting critical data such as temperature and working forces.

Project Number: C645808870-00000067 – Investment Project No. 60

Consortium Leader: COLEP Packaging Portugal S.A..


Description:


The PRODUTECH R3 Innovation Pact is presented as a strategic and integrated initiative, comprising a set of Programmes aimed at:

(i) Transforming Industry, by developing and transferring R&D and transforming it into new products and services (namely production technologies), enabling and supporting companies in this sector in the associated innovation processes, but also supporting companies in user sectors to adopt and endogenise these new technologies in their production systems, contributing to competitiveness, sustainability and resilience;

(ii) Qualifying Industry for Resilience, Growth and Innovation;

(iii) Capacity building and vocational training in innovative production technologies, thus supporting the desired transformation;

(iv) Internationalisation of companies; and

(v) Broad promotion and dissemination of the Pact and its results.

This approach aims to take advantage of the cross-cutting nature of production technologies and cross-fertilisation processes, leveraging the positioning of companies in the production technologies sector and promoting knock-on effects throughout the national economic fabric.

Recent Developments

Objective:


The PRODUTECH R3 project aims to bring about a structural change in the Production Technologies Sector (PTS), enabling it to exploit the significant investments that industry will make with the green and digital transition, reducing external technological dependence, increasing the added value generated in the country and contributing to a change in the specialisation of the Portuguese economy.

Based on a partnership that brings together 108 companies and other entities from FTP, the main sectors of industry and the scientific and technological system, the project envisages the collaborative development of 85 new innovative products and services and their demonstration in more than 52 pilots in companies from the user sectors and the development of complementary actions in the areas of education and training, internationalisation, dissemination and capacity building of FTP, inducing a structural change and the creation of a truly dynamic and sustainable innovation eco-system in the area of production technologies.


Activities:


The Innovation Pact is structured into 15 transformative programmes, which are grouped into 5 areas (A - Customisation of products and proximity production; B - Adaptive, collaborative and competitive production; C - Interoperable, intelligent and autonomous production systems; D - New technologies for production and the use of advanced materials; E - Efficiency in the use of resources and direct integration of renewable energies into production processes) which are geared towards the development of new products and services for industry, through collaboration between FTP companies, user sector companies and ENESIIs, designed to promote synergies in terms of technological development and applicability in a wide number of user sectors. PRODUTECH R3 is also made up of 3 horizontal programmes, aimed at complementary related areas such as capacity building and training, internationalisation and qualification, and 2 support programmes, aimed at the wide dissemination of the initiative and its results, as well as the overall management and coordination of the agenda.
