"The SMARTHANDLE initiative will apply its developments in three use cases for the consumer goods, metallurgy and automotive industries"
We improve working conditions through artificial intelligence
The SMARTHANDLE initiative, coordinated by TECNALIA and made up of 13 partners, implements intelligent and reconfigurable actors to provide dexterity in a wide range of handling applications, reasoning methodologies based on artificial intelligence.
SMARTHANDLE optimises the potential of actor flexibility and high-level coordination and planning mechanisms for the correct and scalable deployment of solutions in real-life situations. It also demonstrates the benefits for workers of reducing their involvement in unsafe and unhealthy tasks and improving their working conditions.
Consumer goods, metallurgy and automotive industries
Manual and automated industrial production lines do not always run smoothly. There are a number of challenges; high variability of products requiring handling skills (at tool level), and the need to reconfigure resources as production batches become ever shorter.
SMARTHANDLE, a European project funded by the European Union’s H2020 programme, will apply its developments in three use cases for the consumer goods, metallurgy and automotive industries.
