Innovalia ZDM Digital Innovation Hub

Overview

The Innovalia ZDM Hub is a digital innovation HUB immersed in the Automotive Intelligence Centre (AIC) network of international partners in the automotive Sector.

The Innovalia ZDM Digital Innovation Hub has been created and it is coordinated by Innovalia Association a technology agent of the Basque Country Technology Network (Innobasque) and a private non-for-profit technological centre whose primary objective is to foster technological and business innovation in small and medium companies. Innovalia ZDM Digital Innovation Hub brings together the skills, laboratories and experimental infrastructures for local industry advanced manufacturing excellence.

The ZDM-DIH has been created in order to articulate a “one stop shop” with the sufficient critical mass capable of providing a comprehensive and integrated response towards digitisation of local manufacturing industries; with a particular focus on integrated operation of enabling digital technologies for zero defect manufacturing services & solutions.

The DIH activities are focused on

(1) Increasing awareness and knowledge of emerging digital technologies/products for ZDM (Zero Defect Manufacturing).

(2) Easing access to consistent assessments across local industries about their product/process digital readiness level.

(3) Promoting the establishment of digitalisation and digital transformation plans supporting manufacturing process design for ZDM.

(4) Facilitating local industry access to finance and participation in (international/strategic) R&D&i projects on development and industrial application of digital technologies, products and platforms (IIoT, Big Data, Cyber Security, 5G, Cloud)

(5) Simplifying access to advanced quality control instrumentation, assets and pilot manufacturing lines for experimentation, validation and verification of advanced ZDM digital products and processes.

(6) Enabling training, re-skilling and up-skilling on digital products and processes and quality 4.0.

(7) Accelerating innovative digital business models development and access to market to local SMEs.

(8) Assistance in the development of local industrial partnerships on ZDM digital products and platforms for international market access.

 

Vision:

Any local manufacturing industry should master manufacturing excellence through zero defect manufacturing products, processes and services.

Mission:

The DIH mission consists on ensuring that local industry can fully benefit from digital opportunities (technical support, access to experimental infrastructures, financing, skill development, market intelligence…) on the following competences:

Digital automation, Industrial IoT and CPPS

Zero Defect Manufacturing (ZDM) digital platforms

Factory 4.0 Big Data & 3D mobile data visualisation

Cybersecurity and digital trust

Digital technologies.
