A Preliminar Research Industry Project: a Case of Study defining Requirements for Knowledge Base Gain and Technological Upgrade in Industry Working in Train Parts Processing and Testing

This paper proposes a preliminary project of a technology upgrade for a case of study concerning an industry working on processing and machining of train parts. The proposed facilities are related to the traceability process of working activities, to the technological improvements of testing machines, and to electronic solutions providing new controls of wagons assigned for railway infrastructure works. The proposed study is suitable in order to understand how can be formulated specifications for a research industry project following research and development principles based on knowledge gain and prototype implementations.
