Research & development

At the forefront of technology

ISR has a portfolio of products selected from, on the one hand, the high scientific-technical capacity of the company and, on the other hand, the experience in the analysis of the requests and needs of the market as a previous step to tackle any development . In this sense, ISR develops its technological capabilities within the field of automation, mechatronics and sensory integration, achieving a high level of specialization of the solution.

R&D PROJECTS

visiomesa

ISR, participates with its proposal named: Mobile Automatic Classifier based on Computer Vision for table Olives “VISIOMesa” on line 12. Integrated systems for real-time traceability in mechanized harvesting of table olive groves within the Innovation program “Innolivar ”Convened by the University of Córdoba, which focuses within its business line Development and sale of SMART-AGRO (SMA) solutions, developing the web platform and mobile application for the registration, control and representation of the data of interest obtained .

Public Purchase of Innovation in its Pre-commercial Public Purchase modality of the Innolivar Project, in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement between the former Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness (current Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities) and the University of Córdoba, co-financed 80% by FEDER funds, within the Multiregional Operational Program of Spain (2014-2020).

The transport of table olives is currently carried out in small aerated containers or in padded trailers. This system has certain disadvantages, among which are the speed of advance of the fruit molestado (appearance of stains in the fruit), leaving the traditional transport systems obsolete. The ISR proposal has several objectives:

Minimize the time olives spend in environmental conditions.
Fruit harvesting and cleaning system.
Classification of the fruit on-site directly after recollection, attending to the molestado, caliber and degree of ripeness.
System for weighing and identifying fruit batches using wireless technologies.
Fruit storage system in liquid.
Real-time control of the state of the fruit and measurement of different variables of the process in real time.

All this with a single system integrated in a haresting trailer that houses all the necessary technology to carry out everything previously described “on-site”.

“EFFICIENT SOLUTIONS IN AUTOMOBILE LIGHTING AND SIGNALING FOR INTELLIGENT TRANSPORT” (ISAUT)

ITC-20181078

Objectives of the project

The constant improve of the vehicle lighting industry forces to make the driver and pedestrians more safe and comfortable. Therefore, it is necessary to research new technologies with increasingly efficient and sustainable lighting systems and a better integration of functions with the interaction of the vehicle with the surroundings and with other vehicles. In general, the market demand what is known as “downsizing”. More and more compact modules that leave more space for the integration of signage (mainly DRL) and decorative elements , while improving lighting functions. This offers stylists the opportunity to include brand-specific style features. , which make the vehicle recognizable. This trend makes the development of the products more complex, since this size reduction must be compatible with a correct and controlled projection of the light beam, in order to provide a pleasant ride and not dazzle other drivers or pedestrians. In the same way, in the rear lights and, in general, in all the signaling elements, the market generally demands giving recognizable designs for the brand image. These functional requirements pose a technological challenge, forcing developments on materials, designs, processes, … VALEO ILUMINACIÓN will be responsible for all work related to product development and, in the activities and tasks related to the process, will be in charge of the purely productive aspects (definition of parameters, design of process stages, …), without intervening in the automation of assembly and control operations. iSR will be in charge of these works, developing automatic control and assembly systems using computer vision.

Technical objectives

The main objective of the consortium formed by VALEO ILUMINACIÓN and the iSR company is to develop efficient lighting and signaling solutions for automobiles based on an innovative ultra-precision mechanization process what will allow offering new levels of intelligent compact lighting in projectors and new levels of functionality and homogeneity in pilots. This main objective will be developed through the following specific objectives:

Development of low-cost lighting devices for signaling, with similar to OLEDs characteristics, based on the light guide concept.
Design and validation of an adaptable small size lens for compact optical modules.
Development of a high resolution light module capable of creating the required shape on the road using epitaxial growth technology.
Development of an ultra-precision process for the necessary optical standards in previous developments.

inoleo project

Cooperative project: “Electronic nose device for determining the quality of olive oil from its volatile components.”

The main aim of this project is the development and validation of an industrial electronic nose prototype that follows the Connected Industry 4.0 initiative and that allows, prior to the training phase, the defect evaluation of samples of olive oil. The prototype of the electronic nose is mean to help the tasting test teams to automatically determine the quality of olive oil, principally in industrial sectors. That is why adding it on the manufacturing process, the electronic nose could give an assessment, based on the volatile components of the oil. Thus, it would make this tasting tests during the production. The main expected results are:

Build an electronic nose prototype taking into account industrial specifications (electrical standards, levels of industrial protection, …). Durability and reliability will be fundamental characteristics.
Develop a web platform in the cloud that hold the prototype data. As an intelligent system is capable of autonomously determining the quality of the oil samples used for experimentation and validation.

EnTongue project

Cooperative project: “Electronic Language Device for the parameterisation and classification of olive oils”.

The development of advanced concepts of electronic and sensory integration and cloud technologies has enabled the creation of new devices. In this sense, the ETONGUE project aims to develop and build a prototype electronic tongue for the characterisation of OCs according to their organoleptic properties. Among other applications, this system is intended to be complementary to the current systems for classifying EO according to these parameters.

Therefore, the general objectives of the project are:

Design and development of an electronic language model
Obtaining a real and useful product for industry.
Laboratory and industry validation of the new proposal.
