The Inovstone 4.0 mobilizing project - Tecnologias Avançadas e software para a Pedra Natural, is a true partnership that will involve 18 leading companies in the stone industry (upstream and downstream in the value chain) and 7 Universities. The goal is to ensure that science becomes technology (applied science), the necessary approach Universities / Industry and that research becomes a competitive innovation through Market.

This project is divided into 9 PPSs. The PPS 1 is the Cyber Physical System called the CPS BIM Cockpit | Stone 4.0. The PPS2 focuses on the differentiation of stone necessary to AEC context by creating tools that value the RO. PPS 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 span the entire value chain, respectively by Stone Extraction Technologies in Network, Stone Transformation Technologies in Network, Technologies of Logistics Operations in Network, Testing and Quality Control Technologies in network and Intelligent Materials Processing Technologies in Network. Then there is the PPS 8 that is connected to sustainability, in particular the Environmental Technologies. Finally, the PPS9 integrates all management, promotion and dissemination of the project where the main objective is to ensure the communication between partners and mobilize the whole dissemination strategy.

The Inovstone 4.0 project aims the development of techniques and technologies to reorient the operations model in the Sector of Ornamental Stones (RO) for Industry 4.0. This is the answer to the new procurement digital model (IFC objects libraries) in the context of BIM (Building Information Model) to the AEC (Arquitecture, Engineering and Construction) sector. 

The project is based on the dynamic capability of the Industry has already shown and it needs to strength to be competitive in a new context of Industry 4.0, BIM and lean practices (leanstone).

The four main principles in this project are: (1) convergence with global enforcement objectives of BIM in the AEC. (2) Stone valorization in the context of BIM digital procurement (turning stone in smart product); (3) convergence of the production operation for Industry and finally 4.0; (4) convergence with the global initiative "green building".

The strategy is to respond to these challenges by the development of a Cyber Physical System (Cockpit Stone BIM 4.0) to network the production systems (interconnect the production of offline and online application technologies, samples and laboratory of Stone). The procurement model of building materials was changed to BIM context and all information must be networked to ensure the planning (ERP) required to  the needs of consumers.

With the objective to increase the research activity directed towards the achievement of the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, the possibility of associating scientific projects with the Sustainable Development Goals is now available in Ciência-IUL. These are the Sustainable Development Goals identified for this project. For more detailed information on the Sustainable Development Goals, click here.
