UPV/EHU - Vicinay Cadenas

• Departamento de Matemática Aplicada,

Estadística e Investigación Operativa

• Título: Optimización del proceso de soldadura en

la fabricación de cadenas offshore

• Investigador principal: Mikel Lezaun

• Facultad de Ciencia y Tecnología

• Resumen: Vicinay Cadenas S.A es líder mundial

en la producción de cadenas de fondeo para la

industria del offshore. La soldadura es clave en la

fabricación de una cadena. Este proyecto tiene

como objetivo conocer de qué manera influyen

los parámetros de fabricación de las máquinas de

soldadura en la aparición de inhomogeneidades.

Se trata de optimizar los procesos de fabricación

actuales y adquirir conocimiento que permita a la

empresa desarrollar nuevos productos más allá

de los diámetros fabricados hasta ahora.

Thank you!

Eskerrik asko!
