Footwear plays its part in EU Internet of Things project
A European project called Reclaim, part of the wider Horizon 2020 programme, which aims to restore and update manufacturing technology in five industrial sectors (including footwear), has just completed its first year.
According to CTCR, the specialist footwear technology centre for manufacturers in La Rioja in northern Spain, which is one of the Reclaim H2020 partners, the first phase of the project has focused on finding out exactly what machinery is in place in European shoe factories, how well it performs and what the most frequent faults are.
