General information

Short Summary
An innovative Italian startup focused on Industrial Internet of Things solutions is looking for manufacturing partners (end-users) aimed at demonstrating a solution (Demonstration Proposal, TRL 7-8) for improving the efficiency and sustainability of the production plants (monitor power consumption of industrial machines and optimize it using AI algorithms).
Full Description
The company has developed a solution that exploits innovative IIoT solutions that optimizes electricity consumption of production plants. On a machine-by-machine basis, the non-invasive, plug-and-play energy sensor, communicates wirelessly all the consumption data of the individual machine. The data is shown on a software platform where it is analyzed and transformed to intelligent insights using intelligent algorithms. The approach is designed to provide the most accurate information possible, helping the industrial partner to make data-driven decisions that drive business success. The system allows for real-time alerts to be sent directly to the operator, providing immediate notification of any potential issues. Furthermore, automated reports identify inefficiencies and provide optimization suggestions cutting down energy waste. The monitoring of the production cycle enables the estimation of the energy cost of every single product, production time and detection of any anomalies that impact the product quality. The system is able to calculate the CO2-e of each process and industrial machine and gives the means to keep track of it in order to define strategies to reduce it and be more sustainable.

The company is looking for partners which work in the manufacturing sector (possible end-users of the solution), regardless the types of products, with a production plant composed by more than 20 industrial machines. The more data from a real environment are generated, the more the algorithms can be tested, improved, and automatized. The manufacturing enterprise has to identify the area of business and of production plant where there is much need of data and digitization.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
The company is looking for partners which work in the manufacturing sector (possible end-user of the solution), regardless the types of products, with a production plant composed by more than 20 industrial machines.
Stage of Development
