TEKNIKER is a R&D non-profit
private company with 30 years of activity, whose corporate mission is to help
industrial companies become more competitive through technological research,
development and innovation. In particular, industrial sectors that TEKNIKER
serves are those involved with manufacturing production. Specifically, this
includes Machine- tools, Ancillary automotive industry, Aerospace, Energy
generation, Petroleum and its derivatives, Metal processing, Mechanical capital
goods, Large scale scientific equipment and instruments and Electronics.
Furthermore, TEKNIKER has been participating actively since 1988 in co-operation
projects under the successive framework programmes for scientific and
technological development drawn up by the European Commission.
Production & Information Engineering Department is experienced in
manufacturing applications, offering innovative solutions in the areas of
product, production and service. Our department's main work areas are:
* technologies for product and process development:
collaborative development, Knowledge Capture & management, concurrent
engineering, cost estimation, CAD-CAM, CAPP...
* production organisation and management: quality, integrated
plant management, simulation, industrial reliability, availability,
maintainability and safety, maintenance, logistic,...
* manufacturing systems: service to the user, productive
systems control, monitoring, diagnosis, technical assistance service, ambient
intelligence ...
* innovation: knowledge management, e-learning, EFQM,...
At this moment we are involved in a specialisation project in the area of RAMS
parameters which aim is to apply reliability, availability, maintainability and
safety concepts during products and process life cycle in the industrial
environment. In addition, there exist a multi-department cluster for the
improvement of RAMS parameters in manufacturing, with focus on diverse areas
such as Manufacturing Processes, Mechatronics & Precision Engineering and
Production & Information Engineering.
Tekniker is member of the European Safety, Reliability and Data Association (ESReDA)
established to promote research, application and training in Reliability,
Availability, Maintainability and Safety (RAMS).
In this sense, the objectives of CARiMan coincide with TEKNIKER´s technical
objectives, previous work in these directions, and the development strategy of
the Production & Information Engineering Department.
On the other hand, TEKNIKER is participating in ADMAN (G7RT-CT-2001-05060) a
thematic network in Manufacturing Excellence in the Process Industries. The
objectives of the project are to bring together virtually, a powerful, aligned
group of technical experts from across the member states to support the Process
Industries in improving manufacturing efficiency, reducing operating costs and
increasing the effectiveness of associated value chains.
Thus, we have contact with companies that may be interested in this kind of
solutions.
I know that this information is very general but I hope it can give you an idea
about our work. There is also a web page where you can get more information:

In any case, do not hesitate to contact me for any information request.
Yours sincerely

There
exist a multi-department cluster for the improvement of risk management in
manufacturing, with focus on diverse areas such as Manufacturing Processes,
Mechatronics & Precision Engineering and Production & Information
Engineering.
Regarding
the occupational risk environment our contribution will come from the process
industry since we are participating in ADMAN (G7RT-CT-2001-05060) a thematic
network in Manufacturing Excellence in the Process Industries.
Regarding
nuclear accidents we have contact with the CSN “Consejo de Seguridad
nuclear” (Nuclear Safety Council) and the WANO: World Association of Nuclear
Operators.
As I told you in my previous
email Tekniker is member of the European Safety,
Reliability and Data Association (ESReDA) established to promote
research, application and training in Reliability, Availability, Maintainability
and Safety (RAMS).
We
will also interested in participating in B4.3. Activities to spread excellence
(D4: Publications and D5: Advanced Training Services).
