Founded by entrepreneur Fabrice Brion, I Care was born in the Belgian city of Mons after analyzing the potential that predictive analysis had in industry 4.0. The firm offers predictive maintenance services, that is, analyzing industrial equipment and machinery to try to anticipate possible failures, achieving considerable savings for its clients through specialized services such as planning, reliability and cost optimization.
The company is an international leader in predictive and reliability maintenance, and can cover any type of industry through different technologies such as vibration, lubrication, infrared or thermography. It has recently patented a product called Wi Care, a wireless vibration sensor that is responsible for planning and obtaining periodic measurements on industrial equipment, in addition to avoiding risks associated with the manipulation of highly dangerous machinery in facilities. The sensor uploads all information to the cloud, offering real-time facility information from any location and device.
The computer engineer Jesús Ponce Hernández-Montaño was part of the firm's headquarters in Belgium. When the company decided to open the market in Spain, Jesús did not hesitate to return to his house, Universitat Jaume I. “In the era of Industry 4.0 we need to be able to exploit any type of business opportunity, be able to develop any project and work on the innovation of new products. To achieve this, one thing that we are clear about is that the key to success is collaboration, that is why Espaitec and the Universitat Jaume I had to be our place,” says Jesús Ponce, head of the project in Spain.
Currently the company has an open job vacancy aimed at computer engineers and in the near future it would like to continue increasing its work team with highly qualified personnel trained at the Universitat Jaume I, in addition to starting to work with research groups from the University of Castellón.
