Promoted by CIGIP researchers Raúl Poler and Ángel Ortiz, Exos Solutions SL has the UPV itself among its founding partners. Its activity focuses on research, development and innovation through the provision of consulting services to improve management and decision-making processes in companies and organizations.
To carry out its work, Exos Solutions SL will make use of DGRAI technology, developed over 20 years at the CIGIP-UPV and which includes software for modeling, analysis and simulation of decision-making processes (management systems). decision) of any organization or group of organizations. This software is also being used by the company Ericsson Mobile Communications and the University of Linköping (Sweden).
Eye2021 SL Group
For its part, Grupo Eye 2021 SL -established in 2012- is a company promoted by CITG researchers Guillermo Peris and Víctor Santiago, together with the Chinese businessman Zouqun Cai. Its activity focuses on the development and integration of applications to help blind or visually impaired people through advanced technology.
Its reference product is the EYE21 glasses, a device that helps the blind detect obstacles, recognize people, find objects and read. The result of more than ten years of research, they transform the images captured by two video cameras into sounds.
As Guillermo Peris explains, «sound helps blind people know if there are static or mobile objects in front of them that may cross their path. The glasses are connected to a microcomputer that processes the images and to headphones that the user is wearing.»
In addition, UPV researchers have developed specific applications for other areas, such as athletics, and are currently working on new models for other sports such as skiing or motorsports.

They received the award for the best research paper presented at the I-ESA ’14 conference. The communication titled «Computing the strategies alignment in Collaborative Networks» was presented in the area of «Business Interoperability». The article presents special relevance in the context of research on collaborative networks of companies, allowing collaborative networks to be modeled generically considering the objectives and strategies defined by the companies that form it, which allows identifying the influence that the strategies defined by a company of the network have on the objectives that are defined in the rest of the companies that are part of the collaborative network.
The proposed model allows researchers and professionals to identify which strategies are aligned among those defined by the companies that make up the network. This allows improving the objectives of the companies and consequently the performance of the network to which they belong.
Communication is within the field of study of the iNet•IMS Intellygent Non-Hierarchical Networks initiative.
This recognition highlights, once again, the quality of the research being developed at the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (CIGIP) on the Alcoi Campus of the UPV.

This is the project titled Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks (C2NET) in which tools will be created in the Cloud for the optimization of Manufacturing Networks composed mainly of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and their logistics assets through the management of demand, production and supply plans collaboratively.
The specific objectives of the project are:
Improve the global competitiveness, innovation and adaptability of European companies in collaborative business scenarios.
Build network companies that are supported by stable collaborative schemes in a business paradigm based on collaboration and coordination.
Reduce costs, through global optimization and the elimination of inefficiencies in processes.
Train SMEs and improve their accessibility thanks to the Cloud environment and increase their visibility throughout the entire supply chain.
Optimize the use of materials, waste management as well as energy consumption through more rational and homogeneous production and supply plans, as well as a more balanced workforce and inventories.
The C2NET project proposal has been developed entirely by researchers from the Alcoi campus, coordinated by the professor and director of the CIGIP Raúl Poler. The project will begin on January 1, 2015, has a duration of 3 years and has funding of more than 7 million euros, of which 434,550 euros correspond to the UPV. Raúl Poler will be the scientific coordinator of the entire C2NET project and the CIGIP of the Campus d’Alcoi will lead the development of optimization algorithms and simulation models to solve problems related to logistics and manufacturing processes within the framework of collaborative manufacturing networks. .
The project consortium is made up of 20 entities from 6 countries (Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, Finland, France and Portugal) and consists of 3 Universities, 3 Technology Centers/Institutes, 2 Research Organizations, 2 Business Associations, 4 Large Companies and 6 SMEs. From Spain, in addition to the presence of the UPV, there is the participation of the consulting firm ATOS España, the IKERLAN Technology Centers and the Technological Institute of Informatics, as well as 2 Valencian companies in the automotive sector (Faurecia and Novatec).
It is not the first time that CIGIP researchers at the Alcoi Campus participate in a European project, as they are currently involved in the Future Internet Technologies for MANufacturing (FITMAN) project that will end in September 2015 and they recently coordinated the Resilient project Multi-Plant Networks (REMPLANET) which ended in April 2012. Other European projects in which CIGIP researchers at the Alcoi Campus have participated have been: PLANET-DESIGN, INTEROP-NoE, ECOSELL, UEML, V-CHAIN and SCHUMANN.

Manuel Díaz-Madroñero, 2015 CEL university award
Pulse para ampliar
Manuel Díaz-Madroñero, from the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (CIGIP) on the Alcoi Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València, has been awarded the CEL University Award in the 2015 edition for his doctoral thesis “MRP IV: Fourth Generation Materials Requirements Planning” directed by professors Josefa Mula Bru and David Peidro Payá.
The CEL University Award, awarded by the Spanish Logistics Center (CEL), has become the most prestigious and important national award for research in the field of logistics. The winners of the award are the researchers who demonstrate in their work the most significant contributions in the business field to the improvement of supply chain management.
The main objective of Díaz-Madroñero’s thesis is the proposal of a new model, called MRP IV, that integrates production planning and supply transportation into the same decision system, with the restrictions inherent to the latter, such as such as types of transportation, pickup modes (milk-run, full truck, routes) in the supply chain. The objective is to avoid suboptimization of these plans, which are currently usually generated sequentially and independently.
The proposed model has been validated in a supply chain in the automotive sector, confirming the reduction of total costs and more efficient planning of the transportation of the trucks necessary to carry out the supply.
The Thesis is framed in the research developed by the Research Center in Production Management and Engineering (CIGIP) in different projects of the National R&D&I Plan and the R&D&I Support Program of the Polytechnic University of Valencia.

International recognition for researchers from the Alcoy campus
Beatriz Andres, doctoral student, and Raúl Poler, Professor at the UPV, belong to the Production Management and Engineering Research Center of the Alcoi Campus.
This is the fifth international recognition received for the research carried out by two researchers from the Higher Polytechnic School of Alcoy.
Beatriz Andrés, doctoral student, and Raúl Poler, University Professor at the Universitat Politècnica de València, belong to the Center for Research in Production Management and Engineering (CIGIP), and have been awarded at the international conference “XXI International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management”, “XIX Congress of Organizational Engineering” and “International IIE Conference 2015” (ICIEOM-CIO-IIE 2015), held on July 6-8 in the Portuguese city of Aveiro.
Andrés and Poler achieved recognition in the article presented at the Doctoral Seminar held at the ICIEOM-CIO-IIE 2015 conference. In the article, titled “Modelling the Strategies Alignment Process in the Collaborative Network context”, they present the complete approach that allows addressing the collaborative process of strategy alignment. The complete proposed approach supports Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in making decisions about which strategies to activate, among all the strategies formulated by the partners of a collaborative network, so that they are aligned. The lack of alignment of the strategies activated by the companies belonging to a collaborative network can lead to a contradictory situation. So, if there is no alignment, the strategies activated by a company, which positively influence the objectives defined in the same company, can negatively influence the objectives defined in the other companies in the network. This lack of alignment generates non-collaborative behavior between companies, ultimately leading to failure in collaboration and dissolution of the collaborative network. Precisely, the contribution proposed by Andres and Poler allows companies to address the lack of alignment of strategies, through the identification of alienated strategies. Thus promoting sustainable and stable collaborative relationships within the collaborative network of companies.
This represents the last of five international recognitions obtained at the mercy of the work developed in the area of collaborative networks, within the field of study of the iNet•IMS Intellygent Non-Hierarchical Networks initiative.
This recognition highlights, once again, the quality of the research being developed at the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (CIGIP) on the Alcoi Campus of the UPV.

Researchers from the Alcoy campus of the UPV participate in this European project, funded by the Horizon 2020 program.
The Universitat Politècnica de València hosted last week, from Monday 21 to Friday 25 January, 60 researchers from 30 entities of the H2020 project «Zero Defects Manufacturing Platform» (ZDMP) celebrating the project kick-off meeting.
Launched on January 1, 2019, and with a duration of 4 years, ZDMP has as its main objective to develop an open source platform, aimed at Small and Medium Enterprises for the achievement of Zero Defects in the manufacturing of products in Industry 4.0.
The platform will make available to companies applications (Apps) for this purpose, which will be developed by software implementers using development kits and advanced artificial intelligence components.
ZDMP combines state-of-the-art technological approaches based on commercial quality standards, open source software and results from previous H2020 projects with an innovative integration concept based on successful technologies. The ultimate goal is to establish a sustainable commercial and technological approach that, at the end of the project, will enable the creation of a spin-of company «ZDMP Limited» that represents the exploitation potential of the majority of the partners and that, through a crowdsourcing approach, will commercialize the results of ZDMP.
The European consortium of the ZDMP project is made up of 30 entities from countries such as Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Finland, the Czech Republic and Romania. Among them are technological SMEs specialized in software development (ICE, ASCORA, SOFTECO), SMEs whose main activity is the development of manufacturing technology related to zero defects (PROFACTOR, CETECK, VSYS), technology corporations (Software AG, Scale Focus), 11 use cases with companies in the automotive, machine tool, construction and electronics sectors (FORD, MANTINREA, MASS, HSD, FIDIA, FORMPLAST, CONSUGAL, PTMILLS, FLEXFELINA, CEI, CONTINENTAL, ALFATEST, SANDVIK, GRAMAFAN ), universities and research centers (UPV, UNINOVA, TUT, ITI, IKERLAN) and other specialists (DIN, ROOTER, UOS-ITI). ZDMP integrates among its partners research project coordinators who will provide their developed technologies such as “Cloud Collaborative Manufacturing Networks” (C2NET), “Cloud-based Rapid Elastic MAnufacturing” (CREMA) and “Virtual factory Operating System” (vf-OS ).
From the Alcoy Campus of the UPV, the Production Management and Engineering Research Center (CIGIP), directed by Professor Raúl Poler, is the one that participates in the ZMDP project. Raúl Poler was the scientific coordinator of the C2NET project that ended last year and is the technical coordinator of the vf-OS project that will end in September 2019. CIGIP will be responsible for the development of machine learning algorithms for the optimization of manufacturing for quality assurance.
The ZDMP project is funded with 16.2 million euros by the Horizon 2020 program, specifically in the area of Factories of the Future: Digitalization and transformation of European industry and services (H2020 DT-ICT-07-2018-2019) with financing agreement number 825631.
