First tests of plastronics at the plant
A team composed of experts from our Technical Office, R&D&I and Engineering is now working at our plant in Albal (Valencia) to make the mass production of parts with In-Mould Electronics a reality.

In May this year, a large part of the TEAMING.AI PROJECT team met at our Valencia plant. In June, the first face-to-face general assembly of that ambitious European project took place, bringing together 15 partners (companies, technological institutes and universities) from 8 different countries and whose aim is to find a way to make artificial intelligence more effective with the aid of human intervention.
The large automotive company, a giant with 55,000 employees worldwide, this week presented the awards with which, each year, it recognises its best suppliers. One of the 13 selected companies was Industrias Alegre, which won the award for quality.

The potential for switches without mechanical parts is one of the most promising aspects of plastronics (also called IME - In-Mould Electronics). It is every design professional's dream to have a smooth, easy-to-clean surface that is simultaneously capable of incorporating capacitive elements, lighting and even haptic feedback and aerials. Today, we know that it is not a dream but an emerging technology that holds special value for some industries such as automotive or household appliances. We take a look at the enormous advantages of a way of working that Industrias Alegre has started incorporating into its operations and processes.
The aim was to truly take up the challenge and experiment with in-mould electronics, using a part that was as difficult as it could be: capacitive sensors, lighting, dimmer... all within a minimum thickness and in a curved part. Was it a crazy thing to try and do? No: it was a way for Industrias Alegre's R&D&I department to test our capabilities and put ourselves through a tough apprenticeship. Now, a year later and with the team feeling confident about this emerging technology, we talk about the experience gained with the head of the department, Amparo Vázquez.
Or how to integrate five sensors into a single small, slim, curved part with no assembly required!
