FORCE

Formulations and Computational Engineering

Sector

Materials

Product/Objective

The project aimed to develop an open integrated framework that connects materials models at various levels of complexity, experimental data sets and commercial information (e.g. ingredients and processing costs), so that decision makers can use a wider variety of key performance indicators. These are combined with multi-criteria optimization algorithms to identify the optimal trade off when making a business decision, considering appropriate formulation and business constraints.

Project Summary

FORCE brings materials modelling into the center-stage of business by combining it with advanced machine learning approaches for handling big data, empowering decision makers through the provision of rapid avenues to optimize existing, and design new products to enhance the position of European industries in their global markets.

Innovation

FORCE brings Materials modelling, business tools and databases into a single workflow:

  • Enable advanced multi-criteria optimisations based on advanced KPIs;

     

  • Applicable to different industrial sectors;
  • Optimise the integration of humans in new more complex industries;
  • Validation and training of translators on the system.

ES Role

EnginSoft’s role was to integrate the Business Decision Support System (BDSS) platform using interoperability and open simulation platform principles. In addition, EnginSoft developed the user interfaces and the workflow management technologies.

Research project

SMEA

Metodologie diagnostiche e prognostiche e sviluppo di sensori per il monitoraggio di integrità funzionale applicato al settore aeronautico e dei trasporti

Attraverso un innovativo approccio Digital Twin in ambito Prognostics Health Monitoring (PHM) è possibile l’individuazione di comportamenti anomali dei sistemi monitorati, che potrebbero portare a rotture impreviste durante il servizio, aumentando la capacità di diagnostica di guasto. Il monitoraggio consente una migliore pianificazione degli interventi manutentivi potendo valutare costi dell’intervento ed efficienza residua del sistema.

Research project

FORSAL

FOnderia Robotizzata per la SAlute dei Lavoratori

Le attrezzature robotizzate per le operazioni di molatura, sbavatura, smaterozzatura e riparazione dei getti sviluppate dal progetto costituiscono una novità assoluta la maggior parte delle fonderie di leghe ferrose.

Research project

AGILE

AGILE manufacturing for competitiveness and product innovation

The AGILE project arises from the discussions within the Veneto system of companies and research organizations, and from a post-emergency perspective, identifies as its strategic approach the capacity for an "agile" reconversion of production systems through the application of advanced solutions for product innovation. It forms part of the "Smart Manufacturing" specialization strategy.
