< PreviousTHE KUKA KR210 ARE FAST, DYNAMIC, AND FLEXIBLE WWW.EVENTPOINTINTERNATIONAL.COM 30 RADAR EUROPALCO ADDS ROBOTS TO TAKE THE WOW FACTOR IN CORPORATE EVENTS TO A NEW LEVEL The Portuguese company has acquired Kuka robots to provide innovative and differentiating solutions for its customers. Europalco, provider of solutions for events and shows, has recently invested in two KR210 KRC4 Kuka robots to create differentiating events, with a new “Wow Factor” for its clients. Europalco plans to use the Kuka KR210 in many ways, with LED walls, LCD, lasers, and even artists or people assisting the events. The robots can hold, move, or animate monitors or video screens. They can also be used to produce props and mobile stage designs. The range of applications is limitless. The Kuka KR210 are fast, dynamic, and flexible to bring splendid effects to the stage and the event. Engineers can leverage the flexibility of robots to create fascinating static stage sets for performance. Each unit weighs approximately 1,214 kilograms, can reach a maximum height of 3.3 metres, support up to 210 kgs, and can be placed in rails that allow horizontal movements. The Kuka KR C4 control unit enables simple and powerful automation. In its software structure, the KR C4 includes a robot control, PLC control, motion control, and safety control. All controls share a common database and infrastructure. It makes automation more straightforward and more powerful. Based on the new hardware and software architecture of the KR C4, all dedicated control processes communicate directly. In real time, without interface limitations. Europalco, a company with a policy of constant investment in state-of-the-art technology, presented the robots at BTL 2023 show in Lisbon. Visitors to the stand were surprised by the innovative solutions and not expecting what they saw. Pedro Magalhães, founder and CEO of Europalco, said: “We are excited about our new acquisitions. At Europalco we always look for innovative and differentiated solutions for our clients, and Kuka is one of those products. We are ready for new challenges, to see what other ideas arise with this new technology that can exceed our customers’ expectations.”APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN WWW.EVENTPOINTINTERNATIONAL.COM 32 NEWS PORTUGAL EVENTS: 10 MILLION EUROS TO SUPPORT EVENTS The new Portugal Events incentive system has 10 million euros to support events in 2023 and 2024. The new incentive system has 10 million euros – an allocation that will be divided equally between 2023 and 2024 – to support events that can attract tourists and that enhance Portugal’s assets and resources and its regions. “Applicable to the entire national territory, this incentive system, launched by Turismo de Portugal, is intended for events that, due to their positioning and notoriety, contribute to the creation of territorial dynamics, diversification of the tourist experience and consequent dispersion in space and time, boost the dynamism of local economies (particularly in low density territories) or favour the international projection of the country and its regions”, reads a note on the Government website. Included in Portugal Events are strategic touristic events, associative and corporate events. In Turismo de Portugal website one can find the types and intensity of support, the eligible entities, eligibility conditions and evaluation criteria. Applications are now open and must be submitted using a specific form available on the Turismo de Portugal website. Regarding events for 2024, applications must be submitted from September 1st of this year. “This programme, in addition to contributing to the external projection of Portugal, will also play an important role in boosting local economies, particularly in the interior territories, thus contributing to the economic and social cohesion of the entire territory”, says Nuno Fazenda, Secretary of State for Tourism, Commerce and Services.
