Driven by UTC, particularly by the will of teachers-researchers from the COSTECH laboratory (Knowledge, Organisation and Technical Systems) and UTEAM, AGREGATS is a dynamic of global and transversal innovation, involving actors from the territory of the metropolitan pole of the Oise department.
Global and transversal means that members practice decompartmentalization and consider that innovations above all are about concerns that can be shared, pooled and criticized by all of our organizations : companies, local authorities, research and expertise institutions. This dynamic is intended to be complementary to the dynamics of territorial specializations.
INNOVALTECH, as a technology transfer platform and member of the AGREGATS dynamic, presented its expertise in the field of mechanical engineering. As a partner of many companies and research centers, PFT INNOVALTECH has put forward the concept of a chain of design and production of functional prototypes integrating different technologies including IoT and image processing for some applications.
Three examples of this transversal and integrating skill were presented on this occasion, supplemented by testimonials from our partners.

Denis, an engineer from PFT Innovaltech, presented the magnetic pulse system (MPS) to a class of BTS CPRP (HND design of product manufacturing processes).
MPS is a way of allowing metal parts to move at high speed in order to be able to form, cut and assemble them (crimping or welding). This technology is a breakthrough that allows assemblies or shapes that used to be impossible to achieve, in a clean way using other technologies.
This technology is based on the use of electromagnetic forces which can be used with a wide range of metals, even non-magnetic metal (aluminum, copper, etc.) thanks to the Eddy currents induced in the parts during the pulses.
With this type of presentation, PFT Innovaltech contributes to the dissemination of innovative technologies to young people in training and future professionals.

In order to overcome the mask shortage, PFT Innovaltech has adapted a model of face shield and ensures its manufacture with its partners by 3D printing and laser cutting.
This non-approved protective screen is worn in addition to a mask for healthcare personnel in direct contact with patients. For other users, it remains a good way to increase mechanical protection against the virus but in no way replaces official Covid-19 recommendation.
As a first step, around 100 face shields will be offered to healthcare personnel. Any other user will also be able to benefit from it, subject to supplying the raw material or by purchasing it from our usual supplier "Point d’encre Saint-Quentin", who will deliver the filament spools directly to us.
We are committed to offering a face shield to healthcare personnel for every face shield we provide.
Thirty face shields have already been delivered to Saint-Quentin City Hall yesterday, which collects all of the production from local makers and then dispatches them to priority people.

French Tech stands for the French startups ecosystem, whose growth is supported by the government in order to gain an international dimension.
In concrete terms, through the French Tech initiative, the government identifies and federates various investors, local authorities or large companies around start-ups, in order to boost their development.
This is the challenge of French Tech ecosystems, whether they be regional (French Tech metropolis) or national and articulated around unique themes (French Tech thematic networks).
Saint-Quentin French Tech federates the energies, networks, skills and resources of three territorial entities, strongly committed to pooling their efforts on IoT (Internet of objects):
The Butterfly was chosen as a symbol of Saint-Quentin French Tech as it symbolizes transformation, metamorphosis, renewal, rebirth and the ability to step back and find another way of looking at things.
The metamorphosis of Saint-Quentin is underway: its digital ecosystem is changing.

In a highly competitive market, the search for performance through innovation is vital for small businesses like PRODUCTION EVRA.
Funded by a PTR, the networking and skills of the technological platform INNOVALTECH have allowed this SME of 4 people to upgrade its traditional range of propellers.
The process has been improved to optimize the quality and the manufacturing time to adapt to the new economic requirements of the market. The new composite propeller has been implemented as well as the new range of hubs - all over a period of 7 months.
PFT INNOVALTECH, with by the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Production of the IUT Amiens and the HND "Industrialization of mechanical production" of Condorcet high school, have thus contributed to the success of this innovation project.

MSIM (Maîtrise du Système par Impulsion - System Control by Impulse) is a regional research project, piloted by UTC Laboratoire Roberval UMR 6253 CNRS, in partnership with UPJV LTI, EA 3899 and the technological platform INNOVALTECH.
The goal is to acquire the control of a new innovative multi-material assembly process that can advantageously replace conventional welding processes such as brazing.
The principle is to create a strong magnetic pulse (a few seconds) that induces an impact between the parts to be assembled and thus produces a weld in the solid state and cold. This makes it possible to avoid several disadvantages of conventional welding such as cracking, heat-affected zones, modifications of properties, etc.
