International Consortium Project | DIH WORLD | 2020 – 2023

DIH-World’s main objective is to accelerate the adoption of advanced digital technologies by European manufacturing SMEs in all sectors, and to support them in developing sustainable competitive advantages, to promote their strengthening in international markets, as well as the capacities of regional DIHs (“Digital Innovations Hubs“), particularly in under-represented European regions. As brokers for the successful local digital transformation of SMEs.

The ultimate aim of this initiative is to provide the network of DIHs with access to harmonised tools, validated technologies, effective methodologies, robust knowledge, smart investment sources, enriched capacitation assets and in general terms, a lively innovation environment. The DIH-World platform will provide comprehensive overage for the services required by the
DIH networks and those SMEs that are prepared to identify the most suitable digital technologies.

DIH

The DIH-Academy will provide the tools to train the DIH networks and bring them up to the next level, with open calls for experimentation that will provide sufficient technological support to SMEs and mid-caps. There will also be extensive geographical coverage, with more than 26 countries in Europe including specific activities to involve both regional and national players in the DIH network.

As a representative of the agri-food industry, Pago de Carraovejas will participate in an experiment that will apply artificial intelligence techniques to develop a smart storage system for finished products. It will be responsible for implementing the different visualisation modules as well as integrating the solution with its ERP. The Pago de Carraovejas team will also be responsible for deploying the solution in the warehouses of the Group’s different wine cellars.
