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 PLEINAIR Big Data Platform is designed to promote the adoption of active and healthy lifestyles for all age groups. In the PLEINAIR smart park, users can interact with Outdoor Smart Objects (OSOs): urban and recreational park furniture equipped...
Instrumented test rig for fine-tuning and optimization of servomechanisms and/or single functional components, in particular precision reducers, servomotors and compensation joints.
The servomechanisms can be validated on specific load laws with...
In the aerospace and fast transport sectors there is a growing demand for advanced structural materials capable of withstanding temperatures over 1500 °C in highly corrosive environments. Rocket nozzles and thermal protection systems for spacecraft...
The DIGIMAN project aims to develop tools to support the transformation of a generic industrial machinery into a Cyber-Physical System. This result will be possible thanks to the definition and implementation of a hardware-software platform, called...
ENEA-TEMAF offers a complete service for the development of advanced ceramic components obtained by 3D printing with the technique based on paste extrusion. The printable ceramic pastes are water-based and characterized by a low organic content (<3%)...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology that assesses a set of interactions a product or service has with the environment, considering its entire life cycle including the stages of preproduction (therefore also materials extraction and...
Service offered to enterprises with the aim of identifying new materials of interest for the company either available on the market or under development at research laboratories. Within the project, the interdepartmental CIPACK centre gathers...
The Proto-Lab Laboratory performs innovation, research and technology transfer activities to support SMEs in various sectors on national interest in the CAD/CAM technology sphere, with a special focus on CAD 3D modelling, rapid prototyping and...
The ability to study protein and starch component digestibility is essential in nutritional assessment of baby food products. In this connection, it is necessary to have a digestive model that simulates the weaning baby's digestive steps in the most...
The hygienic design process takes into account the need to assure foodstuff's safety and suitability, starting from machinery design. This takes place by complying with a series of requirements, known as hygiene criteria in designing, as well as in...
Scientific diagnostics is an important tool to improve the interpretation and knowledge of a work of art, allowing its evolution over time to be documented and monitored and any restoration work to be scheduled. It is obviously important in this...
TekneHub - Laboratory of the Ferrara Tecnopolo, in collaboration with the company Techsigno S.r.l., has tested and assessed the application of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology to naturalistic collections. To date, the RFID technology...
The new method makes it possible to reconstruct hollow shapes, namely the inner surface of a prosthetic socket, starting from the images photographed from various viewpoints using a common camera. The software allows a three-dimensional model to be...
Service implemented for companies that seek to pursue "natural" microbiological foodstuff stabilisation strategies. It provides a competitive market advantage since it addresses consumers' increasing demand for minimally treated products with no...
The main objective of TECNOLATER was setting up a pilot laboratory at Sacmi's facilities, for the study and the development of flexible technologies to produce new construction materials. A research structure was set up to study innovative brick...
Thanks to the combination and synergistic use of descriptive sensory analysis, chemical and microbiological analysis and consumer tests, it is possible to assess and best define the suitability, influence on quality and on real shelf-life of...
Assessment of in vitro effects of drugs, active ingredients and neo-synthesis molecules on primary cultures of human endothelial cells (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells and adult Vein Endothelial Cells) through monitoring i) cellular...
Development of a set of 24 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers that allows 192 samples to be simultaneously analysed in a single day for 24 markers associated with agronomic traits of interest. SNP markers represent polymorphisms due to...
The electrochemical approach to water purification is based on the application of an electrical current, therefore the process is remotely controllable and neither personnel intervention nor the use of chemicals are required. The current disinfection...
Technology which makes it possible to obtain a process to clarify cloudy oil, assuring high retention of the qualitative features (physico-chemical, sensory and health-related) of the product as it does not come in contact with foreign material such...
