Luís Miguel Moreira Guardão

I’m a Senior Researcher and Project Manager at INESC TEC. I started my work at this institution back in 1992 as a software developer and systems & database administrator. Soon, in 1995, I embraced the project manager role and have since then led a large number of projects in multiple domains (Operations Management, Internal Logistics, Automation, Knowledge Management, Systems Architecture & Integration, Planning & Scheduling, Benchmarking & Business Intelligence) and industries (Shoe, textile, metal tooling, Civil Construction, Chemical, Architecture, Government, Universities).

I hold a Degree in Electronics and Telecommunications by the University of Aveiro and postgraduates degrees in Management (by EGP-UP) and Medical Informatics (by the Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Sciences of UP).

My current main research area of interest at INESC TEC is Integrated Planning & Scheduling in the context of Industry 4.0.

Projects

PrecisionCork

The solution promoted by the PRECISIONcork project allows a radical change in current practices in terms of quality control in the production of cork stoppers. By providing a distributed and modular solution in order to measure and to quantify several characteristic parameters related to the production of cork stoppers, such as moisture measurement, density, diameter, length, among others, and consequently to implement a closed loop control in the production equipment involved, it is possible to explore a preventive and process control approach with a view to a final product with a higher quality. This solution enables the development of “zero-defect” strategies and enhances the implementation of robust traceability mechanisms, enabling to meet legal and market requirements considered to be critical these days.The project developed a modular solution in order to measure and to quantify several characteristic parameters related to the production of cork stoppers, such as moisture measurement, density, diameter, length, among others, and consequently to implement a closed loop control in the production equipment.

Centres

Enterprise Systems Engineering

The research carried out at the Centre for Enterprise Systems Engineering (CESE) has a direct impact on industrial transformation, developing sustainable, resilient, and human-centred solutions to address the challenges of the digital and green transitions. Through a co-creation and development approach with scientific and industrial partners, CESE contributes to improve organisational capabilities and driving systemic innovation in complex industrial contexts. As a multidisciplinary research centre, CESE bridges science and practice in the field of Systems Engineering, focusing on value creation within industrial ecosystems. This mission is structured around five research lines that define CESE scientific and technological expertise: Manufacturing Systems Design and Management, Supply Chain and Collaborative Networks Management, Architectures and Industrial Information Systems, Technology Management in Industry, Transportation and Logistics.
