With the programme, Antolin is looking to develop solutions for the automotive industry, led by the electric and connected vehicle and process digitation.
Through the open innovation platform created by ennomotive, a company specialised in solving technology challenges, Antolin has already completed six challenges in the last two years, where more than three hundred engineers and professionals submitted a solution.
The 111 proposals allowed the company to access solutions to support future Grupo Antolin innovations.
The new challenge aims to design and validate a computer vision system for the detection of defects in leather used in interior trims for premium cars.
