• Calculation and simulations:
component/system behavior, fluid and wind
offshore.
• Electronic and Mechanical design: to
develop products with enhanced features and
high added value.
•Automation of industrial processes:
optimize resources, add value to their
facilities, improve productivity, reduce costs
•Prototypes: construction and validation of a
new product in the most realistic service
conditions
