The main focus of the INNO TTN is HPCN-enabled
machine vision applications for quality control in production lines. In
particular, INNO aims at developing a centre of expertise that has the
know-how for the introduction of value-added services directly to the
industrial sector and the production line. These services include
identification of particular needs and customisation of the available
solutions, setting up a prototype and supervising the operation,
measuring the performance against prespecified goals and incorporation
of the complete process experience into the value added chain. In turn,
these results will further boost INNO's ability and flexibility to
offer a concise, time critical, professional knowledge to industrial
partners.

Under the European HPCN Program, two Technology
Transfer Nodes (TTN) are promoting the use of High Performance
Computing and Networking technologies in France :ProHPC and HiperTTN.
ProHPC is managed by a consortium of four partners particularly active
in France in the domain of HPC technologies : ENS Lyon (coordinator),
INRIA, Matra Cap Systemes and Simulog. HiperTTN has been set up by five
institutions: CERFACS (France), FEUP (Portugal), LABEIN (Spain), NTUA
(Greece) and UPV (Spain) which have worked together since 1992. Both
come under the umbrella of the METIER2 Network, coordinated by a French
company: ARTTIC.
