R & D and Innovation Consortium is a partner in a project to develop product innovation together with Heat Design EOOD

12 June 2018

On May 22, 2018, Heat Design Ltd. signed a contract № BG16RFOP002-1.005-0043-C01 for the provision of a grant with the Ministry of Economy, with the following subject: “Development of product innovation by Heat Design EOOD “. The project will be implemented in partnership with the Research and Development and Innovation Consortium at Sofia Tech Park AD. On the part of the RDIC, activities will be carried out in the Laboratory of High Performance Computing Laboratory.

The project is aimed at developing an innovative software product that is a complex solution that enables manufacturing companies of all classes to automate and maximally quickly create and manage their product range in 3D photo-realistic objects – on-line catalog with unlimited number of three-dimensional industrial products delivered to end-users, via an intuitive user interface to change, customize, and order configurable products, even without the availability of a product your sample. The software provides automation for accepting and processing custom and custom-made end products by submitting them directly to ERP software without the need for human intervention. The product is intended for manufacturing companies specializing in items such as apparel and footwear, which sell part of their production via on-line platforms and stores.

The proposed innovation falls within the thematic area “ICT and Informatics” by ISIS in the “3D Digitalization, Visualization and Prototyping” direction, which is a priority for the planning SWU where the software product will be developed.

The total amount of the investment is BGN 651 705.36, of which BGN 498 820.29 grants from the Operational Program “Innovation and Competitiveness” 2014-2020 (BGN 423 997.26 European and BGN 74 823.03 national co-financing) and BGN 152 885.07 own co – financing.

Overall goal of the project:

Increasing the innovation capacity and activity of Heath Design EOOD in partnership with the Research and Development and Innovation Consortium at Sofia Tech Park, in the field of ICT and Informatics, “3D Digitalization, Visualization and Prototyping”, by developing the product innovation, namely a complete, complex software solution of 3 base modules, united in a unified new technology enabling manufacturing companies to automate and maximally create 3D photo-realistic objects of their products, which without additional effort are automatically sent to their online stores, corporate webpages and other communication channels. In addition, the software solution will provide its customers with the opportunity to personalize the design, and / or replace other parameters such as materials, colors, shapes, etc. In addition to this, the software provides automation for accepting and processing custom and custom-configured end products by submitting them directly to ERP software without the need for human intervention. The innovative software solution falls into the priority ICT and Information Technology Direction from ISIS, and in particular in the sub-direction “3D Digitization, Visualization and Prototyping”, which is a priority for the planning SWU where innovation will be developed.
