Smart Industry Lab

The Smart Industry Lab is a systems engineering and automation laboratory that provides tailored engineering and consulting services for the industry. Equipped with a wide range of hardware and software, it enables us to develop prototypes, conduct tests, and validate solutions in a controlled environment.

We have equipment for real-time process simulation and development of Hardware in the Loop (HIL) platforms. We also have workstations with state-of-the-art optimization software (CPLEX, Gurobi, etc.) that allow us to develop advanced control algorithms and optimization solutions for a wide range of industrial applications. Besides, thanks to our hydrogen fuel cell test bench, we can carry out pioneering research in the field of optimal energy management and process control.

Our experience in the design and development of control systems, simulation, and optimization, combined with our cutting-edge equipment, positions us as a strategic partner for industrial innovation.
