PROJECT OBJECTIVE
Machine vision, a key player in the automotive industry
The Institute for Research in Design and Manufacturing (IDF) is a research institute under the Universitat Politécnica de Valencia, which carries out research and development projects in the areas of design, manufacturing and automation focused on the automotive industry, combining the potential and competitiveness of the business association with the university environment strongly committed to research and development projects (R&D) to create an entity capable of undertaking wide-ranging activities.
In this sense, the Alava Group collaborates with the Institute for Research in Design and Manufacturing to create a system based on artificial vision techniques to improve the detection and monitoring of defects in car bodies, currently used by such renowned and competitive automotive manufacturers as Mercedes Benz in its Vitoria factory and Volkswagen in its Pamplona factory (both in Spain).
