Infrastuctures and laboratories

The specific laboratories located in this building are the following:
  • Network Laboratory: The Network Laboratory is designed as a highly equipped space for hands-on training in communication and connectivity technologies. With 36 workstations, professional Cisco routers, Catalyst switches, wireless routers, IP telephones, network servers, tools for the assembly of rosettes and wiring cabinets, network analysers, network certifiers and firewalls, it allows for practical training in the design, assembly, configuration and administration of local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN). It also has network simulators to test different scenarios before their implementation.
  • Advanced Communications Laboratory: The Advanced Communications Laboratory is a physical space designed for the training of Mondragon Unibertsitatea students and the holding of business events. It has Cisco hardware and software equipment specialised in IoT, industrial and cybersecurity environments, as well as Software as a Service (SaaS) components. It allows students to train in key areas such as cybersecurity, communication networks and the integration of IoT (Internet of Things) systems in industrial environments.
  • Automation Laboratory: The Automation Laboratory is intended for practical academic training in the field of industrial automation. Here, control automatisms based on PLCs are designed, assembled, programmed and put into operation, supervised by means of a touch screen or from a PC with a SCADA application, integrated by means of industrial communications (Profinet, OPC-UA...). It has programmable controllers, programming environments, supervision systems, control process models, artificial vision cameras and robots.
  • Portable Virtual Laboratories: Portable Virtual Laboratories allow students to set up hands-on environments on their personal computers using tools such as VirtualBox and Proxmox, as well as configuration management tools. These platforms allow complex networks and systems to be simulated, real-life scenarios to be accurately replicated, and advanced testing and configuration to be performed without affecting physical systems. They also facilitate the management and recovery of environments, optimising time and reducing errors by being able to restore previous configurations quickly.
  • Facilities and Cloud Resources: The university has a data processing centre (DPC) for use in the field of computing (research, transfer and teaching). This cluster has 16 servers, more than 4 TB of RAM and more than 40 TB of storage in total. Students can connect remotely to the servers for practical work. Several services related to teaching, development (GitLab, Jupyter...), network modelling and virtual systems (HobbyFarm, GNS...) and a quantum computing platform (IBM Quantum) are available in the cluster. In addition, for practical work on semester projects, students use Cloud resources, setting up machines and resources on Google Compute Engine.
  • Hardware Laboratory: The Hardware Laboratory is designed for students to gain practical knowledge about the architecture and inner workings of computers. Here, students practice assembling and disassembling components, as well as installing and configuring operating systems. The laboratory is equipped with desktop PCs, laptops, servers, diagnostic tools and specialised software for hardware management. In addition, 3D printers are used to support semester projects, allowing students to design and manufacture custom components and prototypes.
  • Signal Processing and Telecommunications Laboratories: These laboratories support research and transfer projects for companies and doctoral theses. In these spaces, the concepts of signal processing and communications, both wired and wireless, are put into practice. They are equipped with spectrum analysers, professional and field meters, digital television (satellite, cable, terrestrial), signal generators and oscilloscopes capable of capturing and analysing signals. In addition, they have numerous equipment for prototyping with FPGAs and DSP microprocessors, including a 60 to 90 GHz (millimetre wave) network analyser, a channel sounder for 802.11ad/ay (WiGig) and numerous WiFi development kits, including version 6.
  • Industry 4.0 and Machine Vision Laboratory: The Industry 4.0 and Machine Vision Laboratory supports research and transfer projects for companies and doctoral theses. In these laboratories, machine vision concepts oriented to an industrial context are put into practice. It has a variety of equipment, such as 3D scanners based on laser triangulation and structured pattern projection, high-speed cameras, anthropomorphic cameras, different types of optics and light sources, part positioning systems and image processing software. It also has 3D printing systems using resin or thermo-sensitive plastic filament, used for the construction of prototypes or calibration tools.
  • Industrial Robotics Laboratory: The Industrial Robotics Laboratory supports research and transfer projects for companies and doctoral theses. The laboratory works on automation, robotics and machine vision concepts in the context of industry. It has a variety of equipment, including industrial robots (Kuka, ABB, Staubli and its own robot) for force and trajectory control, control based on visual information, and human-machine interaction concepts for learning by description or demonstration. In addition, it has industrial cameras, 3D scanners based on laser triangulation, different types of optics and illuminations, used in quality inspection projects for industrial parts and intelligent robotics for human-machine interaction. It also has an industrial crane and automation mock-ups to work on crane anti-sway control, object-oriented PLC programming, and data analytics for industrial maintenance using data extracted from industrial PLCs.
