SPS-IT (Smart Polyphenol manufacturing Supervisor)
Sector
Biochemistry
Installation site
Poly4Life – Terni Biotechnology Company
Objective
Elimination of production defects and reduction of the plant’s energy consumption.
Proposed action
Experimentation of an innovative supervision system in the production plant. Tera, as an Idea75 partner, collaborated in the definition and implementation of the 3 levels making up the SPS architecture: Field, Factory, Cloud. Tera contributed in particular to the Field level (consisting of sensors, actuators and gateway (SPS-gw) for the acquisition of data from the field ant the actuations management.
Expected benefits
SPS has allowed:
a 20% reduction in quantity of product rejected for non-compliance;
a 10% reduction in the lobal energy consumption of the production line;
to improve the average quality of the finished product by 15%

RES NOVAE
smart cityProject RES NOVAE Sector Public and private construction Test site Municipality of Bari Objective Tera has participated in innovative project for advanced and innovative solutions of energy flows management for Smart City. The project, supported by numerous partners, deal with cities problems with an organic way, starting from energy infrastructures, analysing them with a smar perspective and training sector professionals, employees in Public Administration and citizens on the tested new technologies through blended learing systems. Proposed action Installation of Tera actuator sensors and gateway to monitor energy consumption and environmental parameters in public buildings in the Bari area. The Energy Box get data from sensors to control environmental conditions and energy and thermal consumption. BEMS allows the management and the monitoring of individual buildings. Expected benefits The Energy Boxhas been upgraded with Beeta Box edge computer to improve performance in term of number and type of manageable functions, installation flexibility, user interaction, type of protocol used, direct access to the Cloud.
SCA-Sistema per controllo atmosfera
logisticProject SCA – Atmosphere control system for agro-food mobile logistics Sector Logistics Objective Improve the transport management of Apulian fruit and vegetables while maintaining the right conditions for the storage of goods during the journey. Proposed Action Creation of a controlled atmosphere transport system, remotely manageable with SW on the cloud, through the installation inside the isothermal vans of various devices (sensors, actuators, GPS, GPRS) connected to the GIoE control unit. Expected benefits Increased maximum transport time Longer travel distances Opening to new markets Increased product shelf-life Improved product quality Reduction of waste
TERA4Schools
smart cityProject TERA4Schools Sector School buildings, comfort indoor Test site Carelli Middle School– Forlani in Conversano (BA) Objective Raise public awareness and institutions about the need to improve the conditions of the school environment and protect the health of pupils and promote concentration and learning. Proposed action Installazione Installation in the classrooms, in the gyms and in the school offices, of a hundred sensors connected to the BEETA control unit, to monitor general electrical and electronic equipment consumption, thermal consumption, humidity levels, brightness, carbon dioxide and vibrations. Expected benefits Il 45.5% of cases the system detected higher level of CO2 (more than 1000ppm), a limit that identifies an unfavorable environmental condition for the pupils’ attention and concentration. In particular, the greatest presence of carbon dioxide has been detected in the most numerous classes and on winter days, when the window is opened rarely for the air change. The result obtained led to a proposal of a technical table, composed by regional councilors and interested people, as well as schools and companies, to extend the experimentation to reach a draft law on carbon dioxide monitorin in schools and other public spaces.
