A collection of case histories of successful collaborations between High Technology Network Laboratories and businesses. These are tangible and customisable examples of the application of new technologies, products, or services that show how industrial research can meet the needs of innovation.
Glutensens is a device designed to rapidly detect the presence of gluten traces in food, supporting restaurants, canteens, and catering services in managing gluten contamination.
The system enables the identification of very small amounts of gluten...
Additive manufacturing technologies for metal materials offer numerous potential advantages, including: the ability to create complex shapes (impossbile to make by traditional processes); the integration of multiple functions into a single component...
The mechanical properties of 7 µm thick Ti-CP (grade 1) foils with ultra-fine grains were studied through tensile tests at 25, 100, 200 and 300 °C and creep tests at 300 °C.
Microstructure evolution was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) at the same...
We have developed a fast and accurate method for measuring deformations even on components with complex geometries. The process, referred to as SCAN-TENS, consists of loading the specimen using mono or multi-axial testing machines, with applied...
A comprehensive set of 32 solid-state thermal neutron detectors, known as Silicon-Lithium-Fluoride (SiLiF), has been successfully developed and characterized.
Key features for industrial application: The SiLiF detectors are suitable for the monitoring...
The project develops an optimization model based on Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) to plan CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) chains, essential for reducing emissions in Italy's hard-to-abate industrial sectors. The model minimizes...
Eco-design is the integration of environmental aspects in the product design process, aiming at reducing the negative environmental impacts along the whole life cycle, considering, in the meantime, such requirements as cost, quality, function and...
The manufacturing sector today faces a dual challenge: on one hand, the opportunity offered by digital technologies to make processes more efficient; on the other, the growing risk of losing operational expertise gained in the field—especially in...
This custom GSE (Ground Support Equipment) was designed to replicate space conditions on ground (vacuum and temperature gradients) and test selected space hardware for satellites performing also electrical and optical measurements.
Currently, the diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is based on expensive and invasive CT scans, with a 90% negative result.
The NanoAnalyzer detects – through a simple blood test – six specific biomarkers of TBI, providing rapid, non-invasive...
The YSZ (yttria-stabilized zirconia) coating was developed for titanium abutments in dental prostheses to enhance aesthetics and reduce potential allergic reactions. Applied through reactive magnetron sputtering deposition via the PVD-PECVD Centurion...
Central venous pressure (CVP) is an important clinical indicator of progressive cardiac diseases. Venous congestion can be quantified by CVP, and its monitoring is essential to understand and follow the hemodynamic status in patients with heart...
The Chamber for Environmental Control (CEC) is a technology designed to induce dry eye disease (DED) in mouse models, enabling highly controlled preclinical studies. This technology makes it possible to induce environmental stress conditions, such as...
Plasma-assisted Ionized Jet Deposition (IJD) is a technology enabling the fabrication of surface coatings from various materials. Its operating principle involves a pulsed electron beam striking a target material, causing its pulverization and...
The MOMIS Data Preparation platform is based on a cloud-edge microservices architecture designed for industrial data management, offering advanced functionality for seamless data collection, integration and analysis. With integrated support for Data...
AGRARIAN aims to develop a prototype of an integrated system composed of a mobile ground unit and one or more UAV (Unmanned aerial vehicles) units. These units will coordinate to acquire data relating to soil conditions, environmental parameters, and...
CUBIBOX is a technological platform able to generate complex biological tissues of human origin, to be used for in vitro testing of drug screening, biocompatibility of materials, efficacy of drugs, cosmetics and molecules of interest. The models were...
It is known that SARS-CoV-2 virus can enter the body also through the eyes, especially in individuals suffering from dry eye syndrome. In these individuals, the virus initially causes conjunctivitis, which may potentially progress to the typical...
