Introduced the results of six realized multidiscipline research projects from Fincantieri and CNR



The navalmeccanico group Fincantieri and the National Research Council (CNR) have introduced the results of six realized multidiscipline research projects in the within of the relative financing to the innovation in naval field of the Ministry of Infrastructures and the Transports. In the six projects the CNR has carried out the function of scientific coordination, involving nine institutes of the Department of engineering, information and communication technology and technologies for the energy and the transports (Cnr-Diitet), one of the Department sciences chemistries and technologies of materials (Cnr-Dsctm) and three university (Genoa, Trieste and Sapienza). Moreover the CNR has interpreted the role of innovation hub, setting itself for the enterprise as "entry point" of the public system of the search, operating therefore a function of selection of the competences and collection of the results, and coordinating, with the support of the industrial partner, the job of synthesis of the numerous objectives reached in a road-map total.

For Fincantieri, the entire program joins in the strategy of Open Innovation, a paradigm with which the enterprises they develop of the nets of competences, connecting own suppliers, university and research centers, in order to cooperate for the problem solving complexes.

The six projects of the program have regarded: a preliminary project of the systems and the net electrical worker of a ship whose energy partially is supplied by a system to fuel cell ("Generation innovative electrical worker"); software and models of calculation, validated experimentally, in order to estimate the best strategy for the energetic efficientamento of the ship ("High efficiency"); a prototype of intelligent cabin, equipped of sensors is environmental is indossabili in order to supply in way automatic rifle personalized services and applications, with new technologies of "energy harvesting "that they afford a recovery of exploitable energy in several ways ("E-Cabin"); a system of mixed reality show, virtual systems of now casting and control integrated with the systems of government and propulsion, in order to supply information of support to the decisions projected on the glasses of the officials of gangplank ("E-Navigation"); a system in order to increase physical safety, on board comprehensive of droni automatic rifles to employ in case of man in sea ("Secure platform"); an integrated model of energy recovery from waste produced on board ("PiTER").

Fincantieri has specified that the results obtained with the projects answer to the recently expressed demands from the shipowners for the new prototypes cruise anticipate in the pocketbook orders of the company and that, as a result of the introduced data, the Direction Navi Mercantili di Fincantieri, with the CETENA support (the Center for Naval Technology Study of the navalmeccanico group), the CNR and the University of Palermo, Genoa and Naples has started in fact an initiative in order to define the industrial project of detail of a small ship whose energy partially is supplied by a system to fuel cell (project "TECBIA"), or other societies of the group they have undertaken the appraisal of the better modalities in order to industrialize the prototype "E-Cabin" and to make available it as producing to shelf to propose on the next prototypes and the ships subordinates to refitting.
