OMiLAB@UPV is part of the Value Co-Creation Laboratories network of the EU-funded project CoDEMO 5.0.

The Digital Innovation Environment powered by OMiLAB is integrated in the educational, research and development offering of CIGIP. It aims to develop resources and materials, especially related to vocational training, and innovation projects in the area of 5.0 transition.

The origins of CIGIP (Centro de Investigación en Gestión e Ingeniería de Producción) date back to 1990 with the R&D&I group in Production Management and Engineering (GIP) of the Department of Business Organization. Since then, CIGIP has developed more than 120 R&D&I projects and 150 contracts with companies. It has created a spinoff (Exos Solutions) and maintains a network of more than 300 partners. We develop our activity in R&D&I projects, technology transfer to companies and advanced postgraduate training in the area of Organizational Engineering and Logistics. A multidisciplinary team formed by professors attached to the Departments of Business Organization and Applied Statistics and Operations Research and Quality of the Universitat Politècnica de València, research staff and PhD students.

Over the past decade, the CIGIP at UPV has focused on advancing research in production and operations management. Their work has centered on optimizing supply chain management, logistics, and manufacturing systems through data-driven methodologies, digitalization, and Industry 4.0 technologies. CIGIP has played a key role in integrating decision-support systems and artificial intelligence into production processes to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and competitiveness. They have also contributed to the development of collaborative networks and smart manufacturing environments. By combining applied research with industrial collaboration, CIGIP has supported both academic progress and real-world innovation. Their multidisciplinary approach includes lean management, simulation, scheduling, and enterprise integration, positioning the center as a national and international reference in production engineering. Continuous innovation and technology transfer remain at the core of CIGIPs strategic agenda.
