Development trajectories

Materials technology and innovative design

This area includes all the research, development and innovation activities regarding new materials and the design of new products, as well as the technologies and methods used to improve the application or use of materials for the production cycle.

It also includes technologies or methods designed to improve the performance of materials in terms of mechanical, chemical-physical, environmental and durability characteristics, to develop advanced material traceability systems also from the standpoint of environmental sustainability and data analysis and to develop the design of products that are innovative in their functionality, ergonomics, durability, or materials used, and to support the environmental sustainability of the product.

Technologies for the efficiency of buildings and production processes

This area includes all projects that are able to improve the efficiency of buildings and construction or production processes.

For the improvements of buildings and the related construction process, we refer in particular to methods and technologies for environmental, seismic, energetic, functional and ergonomic efficiency.

For the improvement of production processes, we refer in particular to the implementation of the principles of the circular economy or reduction of consumption, to systems, platforms and applications for innovation in the organisation of production, commercial and business model processes and to modelling and simulations for the integrated design and management of products, processes and systems.

Digitising of the "Home System"

This area includes all systems that are able to digitise business functions and the technology integration of products related to the Home System.

The area also includes the ICT solutions for customer service-oriented distribution and collaboration platforms, new ICT infrastructures to support advanced manufacturing processes and advanced systems for traceability of the product’s origin and the distribution chain.
As part of the technological integration in products of the Home System, the research and development of products with a technological integration that can improve or expand their functions, the implementation of advanced sensor systems on products and buildings for a continuous improvement of performance, assistance and control and the integration of technologies, methods and tools that facilitate the creation of functional, connected and highly usable products and ecosystems.
