The company ISR (Sensory Integration and Robotics) from Jaén, Spain. has obtained, with the advice and support of CTA, a participative loan from the National Innovation Entity (ENISA) in the amount of 225,000€ to provide them with the necessary financial resources to enable them to develop their main lines of work in the industry: quality control by vision and digitization of the agricultural sector.

“With the support of CTA, we have managed to apply for such a competitive grant as ENISA and we are very happy to have reached this milestone,” says Business Development Director Arturo López, who adds that “We appreciate the service provided by CTA which, without a doubt, has been a fantastic job.”

ISR is a spin-off of the University of Jaén specialized in advanced automation, artificial vision and robotics to develop solutions for Industry 4.0 and Precision Agriculture, i.e. the digitization of industry and agriculture. ISR’s main line of action is the use of machine vision to address the quality control of certain processes in industry. For example, interior/exterior parts (lighting) in the automotive sector. It also develops advanced automation projects in the process and aeronautics industries. Almazara 4.0 and Olivar 4.0 are ISR’s trademarks in the agri-food sector and include products such as the SmartNIR, an IoT device that provides online oil yield data in the decanter.

The support provided by CTA to ISR is part of its support service for raising external financing for technology-based entrepreneurs, with which it has a success rate of over 45% in the Neotec program of the CDTI (@CDTIoficial) and over 94% in ENISA, among other programs.
