GPAINNOVA to celebrate its 10th anniversary with an event on industrial innovation
GPAINNOVA, a leading technological platform specializing in solutions for surface finishing and specializing in marine robotics, medical devices, and power electronics, will celebrate its 10th anniversary with an event dedicated to industrial innovation. This special day, to be held at its headquarters in Barcelona (C/ Maracaibo, 1, sheds 2-6), will take place on Monday, April 24th —the day that marks 10 years since the founding of Steros GPA Innovative, SL, the embryonic company of the group— and will bring together experts from the technological and business fields.
Learning, networking and leisure
To celebrate its first decade of life, GPAINNOVA has launched a program that combines training, networking opportunities among attendees, and leisure. The activities planned for this day are the following:
- 10:00 AM-01:00 PM. Guided visit to GPAINNOVA’s factory and live demonstrations of the DLyte brand surface finishing machinery, based on the patented DryLyte dry electropolishing technology. Through several engineers and specialists, attendees will see first-hand the most common applications in these areas:
- Carbides
- Industrial sector
- Dental sector
- Medical sector
- 01:30 PM. Lunch.
- 03:00 PM-05:30 PM. Innovation Workshop in Industry 4.0 & 5.0, carried out by the deep tech cluster Secpho. The aim of this session is to launch four challenges linked to metal surface finishing and marine robotics:
- To develop an augmented reality system that allows operators to visualize the movement and current of the particle flow in a DLyte surface finishing machine.
- To detect electrolyte flow rate and particle concentration (and dispersion), as well as the number of impacts of the particles on the surface to be polished.
- To develop an environmental DNA detection system to take samples at sea autonomously. The information must be sent in real time.
- To develop an artificial vision system that allows detection in high turbidity conditions.
Interested people will be able to participate in this session free of charge, thanks to GPAINNOVA’s invitation. The only requirement is to send the following registration form.
- 05:30 PM. One-to-one meetings between attendees & coffee break.
