Hub 4.0  of Manufacturing Sectors in  Valencian Region

Spain: Valencia

Overview

HUB4MANUVAL is a Digital Innovation Hub that will stimulate the uptake of Robotics, CPS/IoT and Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Valencian manufacturing SMEs and MidCaps. The HUB will support manufacturing companies in order to be more competitive, prioritizing SMEs in the manufacturing sectors of relevance at Regional Level, but conecting also with relevant big players, as they can atract others in relevant sectors. The mission of HUB4MANUVAL is to be a reference one-stop shop Digital Innovation Hub (DIH) for manufacturing companies requiring innovation solutions in the field of robotics and ICT, bridging the gap between research and industry.

The Hub will play the role of centralising and facilitating the use of these I4MS technologies to the Valencian manufacturing ecosystem and will provide SME´s and stakeholders with facilities where they will be able to access Robotics, AI and CPS/IoT resources. It will follow a collaborative model by bringing together the main value chain actors and promoting collaborative R&I. The technologies used will be demonstrated to be complementary, showing that industry can be empowered when both are combined.

The hub’s unique combination of partners and stakeholders will effectively allow HUB4MANUVAL to establish itself as an Industry 4.0 one-stop-shop for local manufacturing companies. By providing a gateway to specialist platforms and infrastructures, the DIH will be able to help companies assess their digital needs, find or develop optimal solutions for those needs and secure the necessary funding to implement those digital transformation solutions.  HUB4MANUVAL incorporates partners and stakeholders from university, industry and government (Triple Helix) which will allow it to succeed by using a three-pronged approach where single sided initiatives normally fail. Clients, partners and stakeholders will benefit from access to an extended network of experts and potential partners (Pan-European DIH network), as well as early access to trends and Industry 4.0 activities.
