NIER, laboratorio della Rete Alta Tecnologia, è una società di consulenza di servizi tecnico scientifici con competenze specifiche in: analisi di affidabilità e sicurezza, in particolare nei contesti che richiedono elevati standard e sono soggetti a normative e procedure specifiche.
Con circa 180 collaboratori (di cui oltre il 15% con un dottorato di ricerca), ha sede principale a Bologna e coinvolge principalmente laureati in ingegneria. Gli ambiti in cui NIER opera con queste metodologie sono primariamente l’ambito trasporti e biomedico. Le competenze di NIER sono interdisciplinari e coinvolgono ingegneri e ricercatori elettronici, meccanici, energetici ed informatici.
Il contesto particolarmente mutevole, la crescente complessità dei sistemi e la presenza imponente di tecnologie e software, specialmente in contesti safety- critical, fanno di questa disciplina una materia in evoluzione che richiede in modo importante attività di ricerca e innovazione.
NIER è particolarmente attiva su temi quali la sostenibilità ambientale, la salute e sicurezza sul lavoro, l’analisi di rischio e la modellazione multi-fisica di sistemi complessi. Recentemente, anche per far fronte al crescente contesto data-driven, NIER Ingegneria ha iniziato un progetto interno di sviluppo di soluzioni basate su tecniche di machine learning e data analysis.
Nier collabora con imprese dei settori trasporti, industria, GDO, medico, e automotive.
