Offer Description Applications are open for 1 Research Studentship, within the framework of project VIIA FOOD - Platform for the Agri-Food valorisation, industrialization, and commercial innovation, financed under invitation notice n. 02/C05-i01/2022, framed and financed under the Recovery and Resilience Plan of Portugal.
Workplan: The work plan is part of WP9 - New advanced/digital technologies for efficient food and packaging processes - Manufacturing Execution System - of the VIIA FOOD Agenda.
Manufacturing industries face the challenge of achieving high levels of operational and environmental performance while maintaining very short deadlines to respond to a highly dynamic demand. On the other hand, technology producers face the challenge of developing equipment and software solutions, applicable to SMEs and scalable for larger companies, that can accommodate large product mixes and significant demand fluctuations, without compromising operational and environmental efficiency, with a constant focus on digitalization and integration in IoT environments.
WP9 focuses on the development and adoption of the Industry 4.0 paradigm, based on state-of-the-art digital technologies, in order to increase the capacity, flexibility, and productive efficiency of the Agri-food industry companies, as well as to enable them to manufacture new products according to the demand.
The activity A9.2, in particular, is a demonstration of a digitalization, intelligent and scalable solution, based on 5G technology, to collect and transform operative data of every equipment within the production lines in real time, and communicate it with the MES platform, supported by decentralized sensor networks.
The workplan includes the activities required to accomplish the objectives and deliverables of this program. Promotion activities are also planned, through conferences, articles, and others:
Support for analyzing the potential impact of logistics solutions on the market;
Conducting data acquisition with companies to gather functional requirements;
Support to the management of project activities.
