The RE-MAIN project aims at improving the skills of VET students at European level in relation to remote maintenance of industrial equipment. In this field, digital transition has determined (and made it possible) that industrial plants of all kinds need to implement several changes to survive in the medium and long term. Thus, the application of the principles of the so-called Industry 4.0 in the maintenance of industrial plants is a strategic tool that increases the competitiveness of companies and, to an increasing extent, determines their very survival in a context of highly competitive markets. To date, existing training programmes in the field of industrial plant maintenance have been characterised by an eminently classroom-based approach. Although this kind of maintenance is still necessary to some extent, the reality is that the industrial sector is rapidly shifting towards models of remote maintenance thanks to the aforementioned new technologies.
Identification of opinion leaders, enabler technologies and technology adoption paths of smart energy technologies
METSET investigates 2 sociological questions regarding smart energy technologies (SET) as a solution component of the smart grid. On the one hand, a deeper understanding of the significance of the adoption of SET in relation to other energy technologies and other smart technologies will be explored (technology adoption paths). On the other hand, SET personas (typical opinion profiles) will be developed. It is precisely the typification of SET users that supports a needs-oriented design of SET, which is needed for increased acceptance.
SentiProMo is a software, developed based on research results of previous projects. The aim of the software is the digital representation of service processes in small and medium-sized enterprises and the analysis of related data. In particular, the research focus is on sentiment analysis.
