Service description

An ongoing service for EIC Transition beneficiaries. The service focuses on EIC deep-tech ICT, especially AI and Robotics, for Environment and Energy. This service aims to offer access to state-of-the-art experimental facilities (robotic cells) and knowledge, such as pilot plant for the study of advanced joints (laser, arc, and friction welding) including intelligent welding cells with process data acquisition and visualisation system and real-time external sensors, energy storage, and electromobility welding cell, test bench for weldability of metallic materials, knowledge on metallurgy; as well as access to a fully equipped metallurgical laboratory for characterization of welded joint properties. The types of activities in the service include access to a test bed for entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to assess 360º vision technological assessment, technical and economic diagnostics, and viability assessment, technology scouting. Standalone technological workshops (training) for skills assessment in joining technologies are also offered. In addition, EIC beneficiaries can also get support on the design, prototyping, and validation of new products; conceptual design, simulation, customised industrial solutions prototyping, experimental validation, need for industrialisation (equipment, tooling, monitoring solutions), training in joining technologies and strategy development in joining. The service will contribute to the scalability of EIC beneficiaries’ solutions for further production and commercialisation, demonstrating them at a Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of up to 7. The service will be implemented offline and/or hybrid, and the duration will be adapted to the needs of the EIC beneficiaries.
