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 main product of this technology is a char produced through thermochemical treatment of organic waste and functionalized for several specific applications by engineering the functionalization methods.
The service offered includes the recovery...
An automatic system for laser marking was developed in cooperation with Robby Moto Engineering (RME), by adding a vision system to a LASIT commercial marker. The system is able to recognize the pieces inserted in the machine and autonomously complete...
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...
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...
The evolution of machine tool industry is linked to the stakeholders’ need to constantly increase productivity, which means constantly improving the applied technologies. The research for increased sustainability, combined with the reduction of...
Titanium alloys and Ni-based super-alloys are notoriously difficult to machine materials mainly because of their low thermal conductivity. This causes high cutting temperatures with a consequent triggering of a series of problems related to thermal...
Working on the design and synthesis of more environmental friendly chemical products, the Sustainable Chemistry Laboratory of CIRI Energy and Environment has developed expertise on alternative chemicals characterized by both high biodegradability and...
In order to optimise material and/or energy recovery processes, it is required to have quantitative data on potential material flows and on their trends over time. For this purpose, a tool such as the Material Flow Analysis (MFA) allows flows to be...
The experiences accumulated within the MUSP Laboratory in the field of redesig and, more broadly, design of structural parts of various types of machine tools, with conventional materials (especially electro-welded steel) and innovative ones such as...
In the industrial realm it is now possible to have large amounts of data in various applications, from process monitoring to adaptive control. This “data rich” environment is mainly supported by two factors: the continuous development of high...
