Duration: 2021 – 2023

A revisão da literatura identifica o efeito do poder de mercado do sistema bancário nos custos de financiamento da empresa (Wang et al., 2020; Abubakr & Esposito, 2012; Han et al., 2015), na estrutura de capital das pequenas empresas (Degryse et al., 2012), da inclusão financeira – acesso adequado, atempado e a custos reduzidos a um conjunto de produtos e serviços financeiros regulados, aumentando o bem-estar financeiro (Banco de Portugal, 2017) – e no desempenho da empresa (Chauvet & Jacolin, 2017). Contudo, pelo que seja do nosso conhecimento, ainda não foi realizado qualquer estudo que avalie o impacto das possíveis combinações das relações com as diversas instituições bancárias, bem como com as características dos seus detentores de capital, com as quais as empresas estabelecem relações, na sua atividade. O estudo incide sobre Pequenas e Médias Empresas (PME´s), que representam cerca de 99,9% do tecido empresarial português em 2019 (PORDATA, 2021) e 99,9% do tecido empresarial espanhol em janeiro de 2020 (MINISTERIO DE INDUSTRIA, COMERCIO Y TURISMO, 2021), constituindo este o grande impulso e motivação para a realização desta investigação. Para além, das características da carteira de credores de financiamento remunerado, o estudo contempla diferentes variáveis de controlo, tais como, a idade das empresas, o número de empregados, total de ativos, localização da empresa, quantidade de bancos de relação da empresa, entre outras características que se tornem relevantes para a análise.

OBJETIVOS
Este estudo procura avaliar de que forma as características das principais instituições bancárias que concedem crédito à empresa e, as relações de combinação entre elas, condicionam a estrutura de capital, os custos de financiamento e o desempenho das empresas, nomeadamente, nas de menor dimensão. Para além deste objetivo, também as características dos detentores de capital que controlam as instituições financeiras com as quais as empresas estabelecem relação será propósito de análise, no que respeita à sua influência na atividade financeira e operacional da empresa.
O universo da amostra em análise, será constituído por PME’s ibéricas, recolhido na base de dados SABI – Bureau Van Dijk, com recurso à análise de dados seccionados. Pretende-se também, aferir a prevalência, ou não, de diferenças significativas no comportamento das empresas portuguesas e espanholas.
Os dados serão analisados recorrendo a técnicas de inferência estatística como testes de hipóteses paramétricos e não paramétricos, regressão multivariada com recurso a equações simultâneas, modelando pelo estimador de 2 ou 3 estágios dos mínimos quadrados, procurando dar resposta às questões em investigação.

The constant changes in the contextual environment and the continuous globalization cause changes in the market, which push the companies to look for new technologies to increase productivity and profitability. In addition, customer requirements force companies to make their production systems more flexible, efficient and competitive.

It is due to these changes that the need arises to implement interconnected systems, integrated into an industrial IoT platform (IIoT - Industrial Internet of Things), supported by the connection of equipment and production systems so that companies can create networks along the value chain and thus control and command processes independently and in real-time.

The implementation in organizations of intelligent and interconnected ecosystems allows making decisions in a decentralized way. However, it is necessary to provide tools to assist in decision-making, monitoring operations, and reducing errors by the operator.
This project aims to respond to this challenge with the application of solutions developed in augmented reality (AR) in an industrial environment.

The integration of AR in a production system allows to reduce production errors and increase the efficiency of product development since there is constant monitoring during the performance of tasks.

This project is based on three fundamental objectives.
One of the objectives of this project is the implementation of solutions developed in AR, in various industrial applications, namely, in carrying out maintenance interventions (inspection with remote support or access to instructions in virtual windows), in guiding employees through procedures, either be it the first time or a recurring task, using holographic step-by-step instructions and issuing alerts to users with the details necessary for the execution of operations.
The other objective is the integration of the AR system with an existing IIoT platform, which will allow obtaining and viewing in real-time the desired information for each equipment, such as the operating temperature, energy consumption, or the condition of the components. that integrate the equipment.
It is also the objective of this project to develop the best visualization solution taking into account the particularities of each application so that the interaction with the projections is fluid and with reduced latency.
Digital objects, from industrial equipment, will be developed using programming algorithms and spatial digitization for referencing the anchoring points of the real space where these objects are immersed.

CENTRO‐01‐0247‐FEDER‐047199 • AgroSafeBox: Intelligent alert system for agrovehicles rollover and driver safety

Duration: 2021 – 2023

The project aims to develop, test and implement an AgroSafeBox-System, which allows monitoring, in real time, the location, inertia and other parameters of a vehicle, as well as the physiological signals of the driver, to prevent the occurrence of the accident. This system can be attached to any vehicle, however within the scope of the project it is dedicated to tractors and quads used in agricultural and forestry operations. In these cases, the accident occurs due to the specifics of the terrain, by tipping over, causing bodily harm and material damage. The detection of behavioral changes in the driver during driving, by monitoring their physiological signs, can also prevent the accident, namely due to fatigue, stress, driving habits, among others.

The AgroSafeBox System will allow you to prevent and alert to the risk of accident and medical emergency in 3 situations:
i) in pre-driving, when assessing the driver's condition before driving, preventing the risk of an accident when the driver does not respond satisfactorily to the assessment carried out by the System;
ii) in driving, by monitoring in real time parameters of the vehicle and the task in progress which, through stability criteria based on tipping indices, will make it possible to prevent and warn of the risk of an accident. The system will also monitor various physiological signals from the driver that may contribute to the occurrence of accidents;
ii) in the event of an accident or emergency, signal and alert the competent authorities and emergency contacts, if not manually deactivated within a pre-established period. It will also allow you to alert vehicles equipped with the AgroSafeBox located close to the accident so that they can provide assistance more quickly.

The project also aims to provide a platform for the global and integrated management of the System and interaction with users, for the management and control of vehicles, among other features.
