The Kick-off meeting of the R-PODID project took place in Cesena, Italy on September 11-12, in which 33 partners from 9 European countries will collaborate under the leadership of the University of Bologna.
IMA is one of the three Czech participants in the project.
The aim of the three-year project R-PODID (RELIABLE POWERDOWN FOR INDUSTRIAL DRIVES) co-financed by KDT JU is to develop automated, cloud-free, short-term failure prediction for electric drives, power modules and power devices that can be integrated into energy converters. With the support of partners, R-PODID innovations will be implemented in power modules and applied in four use cases for conveyor belts, industrial lighting, automotive traction inverters and heavy-duty test equipment.
Employees or students no longer need to carry plastic cards or fobs to their imaLOCKERS. The OSL.03-L series locks now respond to phone taps via NFC, supporting both Android and iPhone systems. Users receive their digital keys remotely, while existing RFID cards remain fully functional with no change to their operation.
IMA was proud to be a Golden Sponsor of the ECCA Conference 2026, held in Prague from 25–27 May 2026 and hosted by the European Campus Card Association together with Czech Technical University.
For IMA, the event was a valuable opportunity to meet partners, universities and industry professionals, and to discuss how access control, digital identity and secure storage solutions can support the changing needs of modern educational institutions.
Here are some of the most crucial insights shared by our CTO, Michal Kašpárek.
