The Industry 4.0 Chair of the Universitat Jaume I has joined the movement #CoronaVirusMakers and is collaborating on various initiatives to address the health alarm caused by the coronavirus.

Specifically, the director of the Chair and researcher from the Department of Industrial Systems Engineering and Design at the UJI, José Antonio Heredia, is collaborating with the Castellón-based company Graphenglass in the identification of critical elements in the development of respirators, as well as in the streamlining of procedures so that companies in the area can manufacture and distribute them quickly with sufficient technical guarantees. Graphenglass is manufacturing a device that allows doubling the capacity of ICU ventilators, a new design that can contribute to improve the possible situation of shortage of hospital pulmonary ventilation devices due to the spread of coronavirus. The design of the device, which is in the phase of validation and adaptation by the health authorities, will be accessible on the web for companies that have the capacity and want to reproduce it and join the cause.

On the other hand, the Industry 4.0 Chair is implementing an artificial intelligence process that will allow immediate diagnosis of the disease based on the analysis of radiographs of the lungs. To this end, a neural network system has been created which is now in the process of learning from X-rays published with open access by various institutions around the world.

The UJI's Industry 4.0 Chair is a coordination centre for communication, training and promotion activities of innovation projects through the aligned action of companies and the University with the support of public institutions within the framework of the Industry 4.0 strategy. Its objective is to contribute from the University to the evolution of a productive model towards a more sustainable, intelligent and integrated industry through digitalization, artificial intelligence, new materials and production methods.  The Industry 4.0 Chair was created in 2019 with the collaboration of the company Exclusivas Energéticas S.L. as main sponsor, and the companies Estrategia y Dirección S.L., ITBacking S.L., and SACMI, as sponsoring entities.
