Mechatronics Sector
The Mechatronics sector
Highlights
Mechatronics is a multidisciplinary engineering
field conventionally known as the combination of
Control Systems, Electronic Systems, Computers
and Mechanical Systems in order to design and
manufacture products and improve production
processes.
Probably, the most well known graphic identification
is the following diagram which shows the four fields
(Computers, Control Systems, Electronic Systems and
Mechanical Systems), and the four sub-fields that arise
by crossing the first ones. Rounding all of them, appear
some sectors where the Mechatronics applicance is
more common.
In the present document, the sectors of applicance
have been chosen according to MODERNA’s priority
sectors, so there can be shown the interactions
between them.
As a consequence of the industrialization process
started in the 1960’ a group of competitive companies
have been developing in Navarra machines that
comprehensively integrate electronics, informatics and
control elements within a broad range of products and
processes primarily mechanical.
Those machines both provide products directly to
final customers (commonly referred to as “vending
machines”) and allow the automation of industrial
processes (i.e fabrication, assembly, storage a.o) in
sectors such as:
>>Automotive
>>Agro-food industry
>>Renewable energies
>>Aeronautics
>>Others (special machinery or custom designed
machinery)
As a whole, this heterogeneous group of companies:
>>Employ around 1.300 people.
>>Have an annual turnover of over 320 million euros
>>Constantly carry out R&D projects.
>>Serve customers all around the world (they export, on
average, 75% of their sales).
>>Lead their Mechatronics markets, both nationally and
Navarra’s Mechatronics
sector in the world, workforce
and education
The Mechatronics sector includes SME´s and global
Companies, some of them have subsidiary branches or
establishments worldwide.
Moreover, a set of support agents and initiatives for
Mechatronics type activities have been developed in
Navarra over the last years:
>>In addition to a network of companies specialized
in different auxiliary aspects of the complete
Mechatronics process, several technical training
activities have gradually consolidated through
regional universities (specially through degrees
in engineering –electromechanics, electronics,
telecommunications, computer science, agronomy
etc.-) and also through vocational training centers
(with a wide array of education levels, around
mechanical fabrication, electricity and electronics,
IT and communications, industrial installation
and maintenance, and specifically, industrial
Mechatronics).
>>Some university research groups, several
technological centers specialized in automation
and materials, and some public support programs
for R&D&I have consolidated serving the industrial
companies.
In the coming years, Mechatronics integration can
definitely help many companies around the world to
increase their competitiveness and innovation.
internationally.
Mechatronics // 2013

In this sense, Navarra has reached an advantageous
position due to the existence of a qualified offer in
design, engineering and development of Mechatronics
systems and also because the presence of a very
sophisticated demand by leading companies in the
application sectors (automotive, agro-food industry,
renewable energies and aeronautics, among others).
Challenges for the future in
Mechatronics in Navarra
Based on MODERNA Plan, Mechatronics is included in
Talent Economics and the Challenge in Mechatronics
for the Future is set as:
“Navarra is home to a considerable number of SMEs
of all types and from all sectors, and whose activity is
based on the use of technologies related to mechanical
engineering, electronics or computing. Mechatronics
is the unitary integration of electronics and computing
systems within a wide range of primarily mechanical
products and processes. Over the next few years,
the advances and innovations achieved in many
industries throughout the world shall be generated by
Mechatronics contributions and integrations. Therefore,
Navarra can apply its positioning in the sphere of
Mechatronics to generate new business through
cooperation within the sector and with other sectors of
Navarra.”
Financial support for Investment
At present, the overall investment projects in the
Mechatronics sector in Navarra is above 60 M€, of
which around 20 M€ are in Research and Development
projects. Out of these investments, about four fifths
come from private investors and one fifth from
governmental grants. There are numerous grants
available for R&D projects, provided by European (like
MANUNET), National and Regional technology support
programs, that include both non dilutive grants and low
interest loans.
Indeed, the region is currently home to some of the
most relevant Spanish investors in Biotechnology,
such as Sodena that has become a key element in the
consolidation of this sector, with a direct investment in
most of the biomedical companies currently operating
in the region. In addition, the MODERNA Foundation
gives access to the finance instruments of the
MODERNA Plan:
>>Entrepreneur grant: 35 per year
>>BEI-MODERNA credit line: 250 M€ from the
European Investment Bank for the advantaged
financing of “MODERNA Businesses” with Sodena
>>Bank guarantee for business financing: Public
complement for funding projects (30% - 60%) with
Sodena
>>Co-investment found: Mechanisms of co-investment
involving public and private investors
>>Investors forum: 4 forums per year
Finally, other private investors, such as venture capital
firms like Clave Mayor and other financial institutions,
like Caja Rural de Navarra, play a major role through
their participation in the majority of the entrepreneurial
initiatives in the region.
All in all, Navarra guarantees a steady supply of highly
qualified professionals that are ready to work in the field
of Biomedicine at all levels. Moreover, the scientific and
business opportunities, together with Navarra’s
renowned quality of life, attract researchers from all over
Spain and beyond.

can shorten the development cycle, reduce risk,
and reduce costs.
Embelectron-IP helps the manufacturers
integrate the IPs allowing the engineering team
to focus on key application features. Integration
permits the client to adapt and customize the IPs
while at the same time optimising costs as if it
were an in-house design.

General Description
L’Urederra is a non-profit, private Technological
Center that mainly applies its knowledge of
technical research to innovation in the area
of new materials, with special emphasis on
nanotechnology, polymer processing, biotechnology and advanced environments, with the aim of
transforming this knowledge into industrial value.
L’Urederra has 52 employees and it was created in June 1999 by the association of several public authorities, financial organisations,
R&D organisations and companies in diverse
productive fields. The organisation is a Spanish CIT (Center of Innovation and Technology)
recognised by the Spanish Ministry of Science.
In its short lifetime, the center has become
very active in European research and it has
participated in key areas of a large number of
projects.
Priority Areas
Materials technology related to biomedicine is
the main area of activity at L’Urederra, focusing
on the following fields:
>>Production and modification of
nanoparticles: This field not only involves
the manufacturing of simple and complex
nano-oxides of a small size and high purity,
but also the physical-chemical treatment of
nanoparticles for their subsequent use in
dispersions and polymeric materials. These
nanoparticles can be used in many sectors,
like biomedicine.
>>Non-metallic materials: This field is
centerd on advanced materials, including
multicomponent systems with controlled
response and sensorised intelligent materials
that may form part of special delivery systems
in biomedicine.
>>Fine chemistry: These activities are based
on the synthesis of special organic fun
ctional chemicals that are of interest to the
pharmaceutical industry, such as organic and
inorganic coupling agents, or intermediate
precursors for complex reactions and
sophisticated polymers.
Products, Services and/or
Technologies
Research center
On the one hand, L’Urederra cooperates with
companies and other agents providing standard
services, such as support for the optimisation of
industrial lines or production problems, and to
rapidly resolve specific needs.
On the other hand, L’Urederra develops its
own technological activities that are generally
protected by patents. In the biomedical area, a
patent titled “Hyperbranched polymers based
on cyclodextrine and poly(amidoamine) for
the controlled release of insoluble medicines”
has been applied for. This invention relates
to controlled release systems for drugs, and
in particular it involves the use of hydrophilic
polymers, poly(amidoamines) (PAA), that can
complex with highly hydrophobic drugs and
dissolve in water vehicles. In particular, this is
being applied to antitumoral drugs, although
other drug types are under study, such as
antivirals, so that they can also be administered
by injection.
In this sector, L’Urederra also participates in
a project titled “Multifunctional nanoparticles
for detection and treatment of biofilms”
(MNP-Biofilms), the main objective of which
is the development of a new vector based
on nanosphere-encapsulated magnetic
nanoparticles to detect and treat bacterial
biofilms produced by microorganisms, mainly
Staphylococcus Aureus (S Aureus). The most
important task carried out by our center in
this project is the production of the magnetic
nanoparticles, carried out at the nanoparticle
production plant. This is the only installation of
its type in Europe, with a continuous production
capability in the range of 1Kg/h, producing
small nanoparticles, between 7 and 25
nanometres, of very high purity and with very
little agglomeration. This plant is currently being
expanded a production capacity of 5kg/h, by far
the largest in the world.
Achievements and Future Prospects
In terms of achievements in the biomedical area,
our center has a wealth of experience in the
development of several types of materials and
in the preparation of nanoparticle dispersions.
The materials dealt with include nanoparticles,
principally oxides that can be prepared as
simple, complex or doped, nanocomposites or
advanced polymers for different applications.

participate in business projects that create
value and wealth to the Region in all phases of

mature projects.
Priority Areas
Given the strong technological expertise in
the region, Mecatronics, and within it ICT, is
considered to be of high priority for the region of
Navarra and therefore for Sodena´s ventures.
Sodena’s main strategy to this sector, also in line
with the “Digital Agenda for Spain”, is to promote
the setting up of new companies which in turn
can develop other strategic sectors. Some of
those already identified are e-health applications
in the Biotech/Healthcare sector, “smart grids”
in Clean Technology and sensor networks in the
Agri food sector.

capital is the main financial product offered by
Sodena. Seed capital is also available for new
innovative companies and start ups.
