Description
In order to respond to the needs of the construction sector, at CARTIF we develop technological solutions focused on Sustainable and Intelligent Construction.
We work in different fields of application with special emphasis on the sensorization and monitoring of infrastructures, integration of renewable energies in building, 3D printing technologies in construction, devices and IoT networks for the intelligent home, rehabilitation and preventive maintenance of buildings, 3D digitalization and measurement, FEM simulation, development of new materials with innovative properties and solutions for logistics and transport. All this is integrated into the overall concept of urban and territorial regeneration (Smart Cities / Smart Territories).
