CRANE 4.0 is a project funded by the European Commission (ERASMUS+ program) that seeks to improve the training of crane operators to adapt to the new e-skills requirements demanded by the sector.
The project aims to improve work-based and initial/continuous learning of crane operators to adapt their skills to the Industry 4.0 skills requirements.

At I-Box Create we continue working to improve professional skills and guarantee occupational health.
