About Project
PRECISIONcork - Medida e Controlo em Linha de Parâmetros Chave de Processo e de Qualidade de Produto
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.

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.
PhD by the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto in February 2004, after presentation and discussion of the thesis "Dynamic Test of Analog / Digital Converters - New Methods of Calculation of Functional Characterization Parameters".
Assistant Professor of the Department of Electrotechnical and Computer Engineering of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (DEEC-FEUP) where he teaches curricular units in the areas of Electronics and Microprocessors.
He is an INESC TEC researcher and coordinator at CRIIS (Center of Industrial Robotics and Intelligent Systems) where he participates in several scientific projects.
His skills and interests include Industrial Robotics, Automation and Control Systems, Industrial Networks, Embedded Systems, Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things.
Associated Centres
Robotics in Industry and Intelligent Systems
At the Centre for Robotics and Intelligent Systems, we develop innovative solutions to leverage robotics in the industrial, agricultural, and forestry contexts, driving the digital transformation of the industry. We take a practical approach - from design to deployment - to test the navigation and localisation of mobile robots, explore advances in 2D/3D industrial vision and advanced detection, while also focusing on industrial and collaborative robotics, as well as human-robot interfaces. Our TRIBE LAB is fertile ground for innovative ideas about the agriculture of the future; we develop prototypes and promote excellence in agricultural robotics and IoT technology: with prototypes, advanced sensors (LiDAR, AI cameras), and rapid prototyping tools, we accelerate the development of solutions for the agroforestry sector. We are also present at the iiLab, where we combine applied research, technological demonstration, and controlled environment testing, promoting the integration of emerging technologies into industry. From intelligent robotic cells and cyber-physical systems to data analysis and AI, it is an innovation space where companies can experiment with and validate solutions for the factory of the future. With a multidisciplinary team, and following European agendas, our research work combines fundamental science and application, impacting the design of solutions for Industry 4.0, fostering competitiveness and the digital transformation of the sector.
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.
