We investigate state of the art concepts and generate significant contributions related to the identification of demand from Rapid Growing Markets as well as characterization and application of accelerating technologies for product and process innovations. We also design and create reference models, methodologies and tools for Rapid Product Innovation and Realization. Our group creates and builds conceptual and functional prototypes of products in the areas of advanced manufacturing technologies (micromachines/micro-factories, 3D printers), sustainable technologies (solar energy, smart grids, green houses) as well as bio-medical devices and intelligent robots.

Traditional supply chains are becoming increasingly complex as elements of information technology, artificial intelligence, and data science are integrated to improve traceability, quality, efficiency, and cost reduction. This research group aims to generate decision-making and optimization models for planning and real-time operations.

In the group, we attack problems of logistics, task planning, product distribution, personnel transport, warehouse management, and port operation, among others. For this, we build mathematical models and propose efficient resolution algorithms to obtain good-quality solutions in the shortest possible time.
