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.
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...
Following the damages recorded in prefabricated structures due to the earthquakes that took part in from the 20th to the 29th May of 2012, the CIRI (University of Bologna) was tasked to supervise the safety measures of prefabricated schools and gyms...
The seismic vulnerability assessment of existing buildings is particularly important for the analysis of the seismic risk on a construction in order to highlight structural problems and design appropriate strengthening interventions. The service...
The service and instruments offered seek to support ICT and manufacturing companies in solving interoperability issues connected to eBusiness and the use of international standards in collaborations among firms and between firms and Public...
The more recent seismic events have highligthed the seismic vulnerability of Italian masonry structures. Thus, it has become more and more important to adequately design and apply efficient strengthening interventions on masonry buildings. Among the...
INTEGRO is a simple warp horizontal wooden structure with plywood sandwich deck and core in GFRP moulded grating (glass-fibre reinforced plastic). The main structural features are the high degree of rigidity of the deck, especially with regards to...
Two green roofs - part of the "Green roofs" project - have been installed on the LAGIRN laboratories of the Bologna University's School of Engineering and Architecture, via Terracini building, within the framework of researches carried out by CIRI E...
A fast method to assess the seismic vulnerability of buildings in masonry and reinforced concrete is being patented. The preferential scope of application of this methodology is represented by buildings belonging to the built heritage of significant...
The system entails monitoring and storing the main indoor thermal comfort parameters of large sized public buildings, as well as private ones. The monitored parameters are: surface temperatures of internal and windowed walls, indoor air temperature...
The system entails to monitor and to store the main thermal parameters of ventilated facades to assess energy their performances. The monitored parameters are: the wall surface temperatures including air cavity, the temperature and the relative...
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...
