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%)...
The cosmetic industry is increasingly interested in the development of innovative cosmetic formulations characterized by a reduced number of functional ingredients of natural origin in order to respond both to new market demands and to the new...
Metal Replacement is the replacement of metal materials (steels, aluminium alloys, cast iron...) with high performing polymeric materials. The recent developments of new and better performing thermoplastic materials allow applications to be extended...
The 100L prototype plant realized (upscalable at 150L) allows the neutralization of liquid waste products of the analysis laboratories and verification of the treatment before the final discharge into the sewer. It can be installed at the...
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a low environmental impact fuel capable of reducing considerably the emissions of sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides, as required by the European regulation (directive 2012/33 / EU). The CLEANPORT project provided the...
The project has realized solar demonstrators that combine the decontamination of water containing organic substances to the conversion of solar energy into hydrogen. The production of hydrogen represents in this way an added value to the proposal of...
SENECA is a tool to integrate with Environmental Management Systems able to support organizations, particularly in a more efficient management of energy consumption of buildings (both industrial and residential). The service is achieved through a web...
Transparent ceramic materials are fundamental as sources of laser radiation, especially for high efficiencies and emission in the infrared wavelenghts (typically in the region of 1010 to 1080 nm). The transparent ceramic material that has reached the...
VIP Lab offers a human-centered design service based on an immersive 3D experience for viewing complex products and systems and simulating its behavior within an interactive virtual environment. The 3D models of the product can be displayed in 1:1...
The choice of a light alloy for the production of mechanical components implies, also, the choice of the most suitable heat treatment. Even if heat treatment parameters are defined in the international standards, microstructure, induced in the alloys...
The need to improve the efficiency of energy consumption is a key point of sustainable economic development. This view is also shared by the EU which adopted the directive Ecodesing directed towards the development of more efficient systems. The...
Many machines have a noise emission largest of 80 dB (A) at the workplace and therefore carry a risk of moise exposure for workers; the demands of the market are to be more and more towards a noise level less than this threshold, thus the...
The use of advanced ceramics is continuously increasing thanks to their peculiar characteristics: lightness, high thermo-mechanical and tribological properties, low thermal expansion coefficient and chemical stability at high temperature or high...
The EDIT Value tool supports companies, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), step-by-step and thanks to specific forms and checklists, in raising their awareness about the quantity and quality of the resources they use, the real costs...
The dispenser system BIOMASS DISP mainly consists of a completely isolated fiberglass tank, a submersible pump, pipes connecting to the water supply to the plant and biogas and a bioactive catalyst Biocat + . The system is fed with water from the...
Engineering components, in relative motion under load, dissipate energy due to friction and and suffer surface damage due to wear. In order to limit these phenomena, a new discipline called “tribology” has been developed. The importance of a...
