On June 14, we had the opportunity to visit ACCIONA’s Construction Technology Center in Madrid, where a follow-up meeting for the ATRIC 4.0 project was held (Accelerating the Transition to a sustainable, digital, and circular Industry 4.0, with new process technologies, AI, and industrial symbiosis to maximize the valorization of combustion waste in the infrastructure sector and reduce CO₂ emissions).
The ATRIC 4.0 project, in which LENZ INSTRUMENTS participates, has been chosen as a challenge in the 2025 edition of the Industrial Efficiency Awards, organized by ISOVER with the support of ACCIONA.
At Lenz Instruments, we are reaching the final stage of the MARVEL project, an initiative funded by the European Union through the INNOWWIDE programme, which promotes the internationalisation of European SMEs by means of market feasibility studies in strategic countries.
After more than three years of work, the ATRIC 4.0 project is coming to an end with important advances in digitalization and circularity applied to the industrial sector.
The project “Research on new circular economy processes at the SERVICE of Strategic Sovereignty , SERVET” has been funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, within the framework of the Science and Innovation Missions 2025 initiative of the Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI).
The optimization of the salting process is important for dry-cured meat producers to ensure a standardized product quality, to successfully achieve a reduction in the average salt content, and to avoid weight losses during drying. Current salting processes relies on establishing the optimum salting conditions based only on the weight of each meat piece, which leads to an homogeneous salt uptake in the final product.
Metal recycling industry is struggling to develop efficient methods for sorting non-ferrous metal scrap. In the framework of a European Collaborative Research project, we are investigating new technologies based on spectroscopic and electromagnetic methods, for sorting metal scrap according to its composition. The objective of the project is to prove the feasibility of using these techniques for sorting non-ferrous scrap into different metal fractions.
Foodtech Innovation Portal is a Wikipedia-like portal that provides access to information about technologies, profiles of research institutions and companies as well as infrastructure in Europe and worldwide.
European Research project “PIGSCAN” (GA: 31213) has officially started on March 1st 2013. Lenz Instruments has hosted the kick-off meeting of this project, which aims at developing a new pig carcass grading technology based on magnetic induction technology. Besides enabling the classification of the carcass according to the S/EUROP standard, the project aims also at assessing the fat content of primary cuts in the carcass.
Lenz Instruments has participated in an event organized by the Scientific and Technological Committee of the Bayonne ham, in which most recent non-destructive technologies for meat quality assessment were presented. The meeting was held on the past December 18th, at Arzacq (France), and was organized by Pyragenna.
