The VISIRIA4.0 project aims to conduct research on photonic technologies (VIS_IR) for artificial vision, aimed at the competitive improvement of Industry 4.0.

At SiOCAST we are in constant contact with the most innovative technological trends. The world is evolving at high speed, and every day we face new ways of seeing and building our environment.

SiOCAST participates in the VISIRIA4.0 project, in which artificial intelligence plays a key role in the implementation of a vision system for production lines which allows the detection – in real-time and with optimal anticipation- of defects or variations in the process to achieve `zero defects´ manufacturing (ZDM, for its acronym in English).

SiOCAST is conducting a research project as an end user of a new high-performance sensor to work in the spectral range from 400nm to 1700nm (visible in IR) with low read noise. To achieve selectivity in the range specified, the CMOS sensor will be equipped with a Bayer filter based on quantum dots which will define visible and infrared pixels.

VISIRIA4.0 will culminate in a demonstration phase, in which several cameras based on the mentioned sensor will be tested for real-world application: first in textile manufacturing and second in a plastic injection molding plant.

VISIRIA4.0 is funded by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI), the Ministry of Science and Innovation, the European Union (NextGenerationEU), the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan and the European Regional Development Fund, under the motto: “A way to make Europe”.
