And that is exactly what Carit\u00e9 \u2013 Cal\u00e7ados, a Portuguese company specialising in private label production for major international brands, is doing by taking the lead in the FAIST Agenda.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jbs8c4ai0\">The programme is structured around three key areas. The first concerns intelligent automation: Carit\u00e9 is developing an integrated and flexible production line, equipped with a conveyor synchronised with injection machines, pallets with RFID traceability and a thermal tunnel for stabilisation. This is complemented by the High Frequency Fusion Cell, a technology that fuses multi-layer fabrics and TPU films directly into the uppers, drastically reducing manual operations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jbs8c4ak0\">On the sustainability front, the company is collaborating on the development of multifunctional bioplastic coatings for insoles and uppers, capable of offering UV protection, moisture control and antifungal properties. At the same time, work is underway on eco-friendly packaging derived from tanning waste and 3D-printed shoe moulds that are recyclable and adaptable to different stages of production.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text body\" doc-editable=\"text\" data-component-id=\"doc-1jbs8c4am0\">Finally, digitalisation: from the Visualgest system for AI-based planning, to the eCODICEC cloud platform designed to ensure data confidentiality in a highly competitive market, to the artificial vision systems mounted on cutting machines.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image\" data-tap-fullscreen=\"\" data-component-id=\"doc-1de48tpjv0\">\n<div doc-image=\"image\" doc-link=\"hyperlink\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/133460-133458.jpeg'); background-position: 48% 68%;\"><\/div><figcaption doc-editable=\"caption\"><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The company coordinates the FAIST Agenda, a programme that is transforming the Portuguese footwear industry through intelligent automation, sustainable materials and integrated digitalisation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[147],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14372","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-company-news-arsutoria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arsutoriastudio.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
