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.

Continnova
Project Continnova Sector Agrifood Partner Ifac, Ditro, UNIFG, Poliba, Ingenium, CNR Test site IFAC S.p.A. Description Tera has designed a demonstrator for an “innovative isothermal and intermodal container” for the transport of fruit and vegetables and for their conservation during the transport. Result Tera know-how has contributed to implement the whole project, in particular it was subject to technology transfer by implementin a SMart Gateway and a SW that the project partners used for the final demonstration. The smart gateway manages the chemical-physical parameters tinto the mobile containers with the aim of mantaining the right conditions for storage during transport. BACK TO THE LIST

Project Automotive Industry Monitoring Sector Automotive Objective Reduce consumption, maintenance costs and intervention times on production lines. Proposed Action Test TERA’s original “plug-and-play” energy efficiency solution on a specific production line. Expected benefits Collect data from field sensors in real time to provide an assessment of energy efficiency for each stage and for the entire production line. BACK TO THE LIST
SPS-IT
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:
Hydropack
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. BACK TO LIST
SCA – Sistema per controllo atmosfera
Project 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 BACK TO THE LIST
RES NOVAE
Project 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.
