Project

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%

Project Hydropack Sector Navigation Objective Innovative control solution for integrated hybrid propulsion systems, diesel/electric-hydraulic. Proposed action TERA has developed an innovative control unit solution, HPTC (Hydraulic Power Transmission Controller) for integrated hybrid , diesel/ electric-idraulic propulsion systems. The system is flexible, modulare and scalable and consists of: – an automotive level motherboard – user-friendly display system (GUI) based on “nautical” display with customized SW – a multi-parameter configuration software to customize the system based on engine power, the type of workload and the type of sensors The solution developed by Tera is composed by: – customization of configuration platform – possibility to manage the motor via a two-control joystick – management of propeller and electrical loads on board Tera technology can be applied to many different sectors as agrifood industry, roads, etc. Expected benefits The system tested on a mechanical propulsive solution of the AS. Labruna, operating in the marine sector, has demonstrated advantages in reducing the environmental impact, reducing the overall size, reducing exhaust gases, vibration and noise

TERA4Schools

Project 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.
