A study on the automation in the manufacture of shovels wins the ‘Prize Eolo of Innovation 2013'

The jury has considered that this study attends to an important appearance for the wind sector: prevail the technology and the automation in the manufacture of shovels of aerogeneradores. It exists a current need to look for alternatives to the procedures into use, that are laborious and complicated.

This study proposes to design a new system of manufacture for a model of shovel lighter and economic, at the same time that reliable and simple to manufacture. The increase of the reliability and the optimisation of costs are lines of work prioritarias to improve the competitiveness of the wind sector Spanish in an international stage increasingly competitive.

Juan José Tame, chemist of learning with a solid experience in every aspect of R&D, will receive the prize in the Dinner of the Sector the next 12 June, in the frame of the 'Wind Convention that summons the AEE'.

The jury stands out the high quality of the works received in areas so diverse like the marine wind power, the systems of coverage of risk or the optimisation of operation and maintenance.
