Eisharc Jaquet, Gerente de Arantec Enginheria: “ With the support of CDTI Innovation we expect to grow in future. ”

In 2005, two young engineers, Eisharc Jaquet and Enrique Vidal, constituted in Vielha a small consultancy for the elaboration of studies and projects linked to the environment of some regions of the Pyrenees, surrounded in particular, of the Valle de aran.

Eisharc Jaquet, manager of the company, ensures that the vocation of serviceArantecand the adverse climate in the area were instrumental in initiating, eight years later, a new business course: “ In our aim has always been present to make available to our technology to contribute to improving the security of many persons, especially for rural regions where environmental conditions can be very difficult conditions ”.

“ initially, design and sensors can throughout the country to measure possible floods, landslides, intense storms and detachment of rock on the road and rail. Today we have 600 sensor stations located in the vicinity of rivers, mountains, crops and forests of some european countries that every year, we are increasing ".

Climate change

During these past decades, human activity is leading to global warming, oceans and the earth whose consequences affecting the whole planet: “ we are at a turning point for dealing with the greatest challenge of our time: climate change. We must not forget that the planet daily alerts us to the enormous changes that are suffering and affecting essential for life, such as food production, rising sea levels that increases the risk of catastrophic floods or increased temperatures, with many risks this entails. All these extreme weather events, they are becoming increasingly frequent, pose a serious risk to human health and ecosystems ”.

“ but this does not end there. It is expected that, in the coming years, food insecurity and lack of water associated with climate changes will increase with global warming, particularly in the most vulnerable areas. While more than 3000 million people live in very disadvantaged regions to climate change, this figure, unfortunately, you can go to grow without very urgent help preserve the environment ”.

Forecasting models

According to Eisharc Jaquet, in recent years, changes were taking place in forecasting models: “ Much of the data and knowledge have been collected so far was based on a weather patterns are changing. Before a different reality, there are emerging new models of forecast more accurate and reliable ”.

“ that are developed with the help ofCDTI Innovationand the FEDER, we have managed to create a new software that aggregates, with great accuracy, dangers of meteorological origin and high environmental impact, such as floods, sequias, heat waves or forest fires of 6th generation. Our system incorporates technologies relating to the Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Machine Learning, Internet of things and cloud computing. We are also developing a database with Big Data technology, ensuring their scalability and accessibility ”.

“ i would like to emphasise that the great innovation of this project that uses cutting-edge technologies is based on the fact of democratizing the early warning systems so that they can be adopted on a massive scale, even in developing countries since the costs are reduced very significantly, while also improving its reliability ".

“ on the other hand, i would also like to highlight the important role of theCDTI Innovationin the field of entrepreneurship spanish technological. It is certainly a point of reference for many smes in spain, like ours without whose support would be very difficult to remain competitive in the future. The professionalism and closeness of his team has been essential for us. For this reason, we encourage all those companies with concern that do not hesitate to submit their project in this Centre ”.

Corporate strategy

In the past two years the company has grown your annual 50% and this year are expected to reach 1.8 million euros: “ Which is a major effort to this sme. We want to continue developing several technologies that will enable us to enter new markets very competitive. Therefore, we do not exclude present more projects to the CDTI Innovation ”.

Recruitment and retention of talent

A staff composed of 20 workers, mostly young engineers and geologists in winter, this number increases to the risk of avalanches of snow in roads, ski resorts and land ports of some regions of Catalonia and Huesca.

“ this is one of our greatest challenges as a company: select highly skilled professionals and ensure their durability. Our philosophy is to provide career opportunities for young people of the Valle de aran in an area as sparsely populated as this is because we are aware of the great difficulties which the España discharged ”.

Among its main clients include small companies, municipalities, autonomous governments and various federations of Portugal, spain, france and Andorra. In the coming years provides Arantec Enginheria market their services in new countries.
