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.
The use of 3D printing as a net-shape forming technique for technical ceramics opens the doors to the application of these materials even in sectors where high manufacturing costs prejudiced against their use. The most suitable AM techniques for...
DTM has developed a filling valve to allow gas, liquid or fuel filling for extra high purity and high pressure applications. Main characteristics are high robustness environemntal conditions and reliability together with very low leak-rates and...
Additive manufacturing (AM) affords design freedom, topological optimization and ability to develop material/component combinations with “site-specific” properties. AM therefore is an effective tool to meet the growing needs of both high...
The TEAM SAVE project (Enabling Technologies and Materials in Advanced Solutions for the Electric Vehicle) consists in bringing to the market new technologies aimed at integrating nano-materials, additive manufacturing and secondary raw materials...
The thermo-catalytic reforming technology TCR® enables added value products such as syngas, green hydrogen, bio-oil and biochar from residual biomass from industries operating in the food, agro, forestry and processing sectors. Such products can be...
Gruppo C.S.A. S.p.A. has defined and executed in collaboration with Newster System s.r.l. the validation tests of the efficacy of the sterilization process of Newster sterilizers: - Physical validation test, based on the verification of the...
Terra&Acqua Tech Laboratory has developed:
- the localization and georeferenced mapping of nursery areas for veracious clams in lagoon zones, to be used as a decision support tool for the expansion of current nursery areas;
- a process for the...
The laboratory offers a solution to optimize flux-weakening control strategies for internal permanent-magnet synchronous machines, also used for light electric vehicles (e.g. motorcycles).
This activity focused on torque management during fast...
The laboratory has developed a set of IT tools to support public administrations in the implementation of energy refurbishment of school buildings to the status of Near Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB).
The "TEESCHOOLS" toolkit is designed to be simple...
The product allows to carry out an energy performance assessment in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Following a preliminary data collection and related statistical processing, specific energy performance indicators are introduced in...
Patented system for intelligent management and automated control of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The system uses robust and cheap probes to measure indirect signals, such as pH and redox potential (ORP), in order to reduce the construction...
Automatic monitors analyzing atmospheric particulate allow to verify air quality in indoor and outdoor environments, to assess the exposure of the population to pollutants in different living environments, to identify the cause-effect relationships...
To contribute to identify the most effective choices towards a sustainable waste management, the MatER Study Center provides technical and scientific consultancy based on a thorough survey of the technologies and policies adopted for recovering...
Industrial robots are seldom capable to provide high precision in a mechanical machining process, thus are limited in their industrial use. The LaPIS laboratory @ INTERMECH-Mo.Re. proposes an integrated method for designing robotic systems, with high...
The technical and economic assessment of plants producing electrical and/or thermal energy from renewable sources (biomass, wind, photovoltaic, hydroelectric) is essential to design the plant itself and monitor its performance. The system's...
The assessment of product quality using objective techniques and the identification of defects or malfunctions during testing play an increasingly dominant role in enterprises. These objectives may often be pursued by studying the vibratory signal...
Especially over the last few years, the aspects connected to vibro-acoustic issues have been playing a key role within the design pathway of industrial products and machinery. In particular, following regulations that limit the emission of vibration...
Micro-valves are basic components of microfluidic systems as they allow fluids to be conveyed, exchanged and controlled. These devices may be either connected on a platform with microfluidic channels or integrated within more complex microfluidic...
FASTER (Fully Automated SysTem for Environmental monitoRing) is an autonomous system for aerial photography, thermography and remote sensing applications, suitable for ultralight aircraft and drones. The system makes it possible to acquire in real...
For the first time in history, during the PROUD-Car Test 2013 (held on 12 July 2013 in Parma) a driver-less vehicle navigated town streets open to regular traffic in total safety. Recently, other similar systems have been developed by other...
