- EU project, 07/2013 - 06/2016EASE-R3 "Integrated framework for cost-effective and ease of Repair, Renovation and Re-use of machine tools within modern factory""EASE-R3 project aims at developing a novel Integrated framework for a cost-effective and easy Repair,Renovation and Re-use of machine tools within modern Factory (machining shop floor), oriented both to SME and large OEM/end-users, and covering the entire life cycle of the system (from design stage through operative life). The current maintenance policies, including e.g. RCM (Reliability Centred Maintenance) and TPM (Total Productive Maintenance), can be generally useful in answering questions such as ""how much maintenance should be done on this machine?"" ""How frequently should this part be replaced?"" ""How many spare parts should be kept in stock?"" ""How should the shutdown be scheduled?"" It is generally accepted that the vast majority of maintenance models are aimed at answering efficiency questions, i.e. questions of the form ""How can this particular machine be operated more efficiently?"" and NOT effectiveness questions (the top 5 ones!), like: - ""How can reliability, repair and EOL be included in a robust and integrated Life Cycle Cost (LCC) and LifeCycle Assessment (LCA) model of the factory (to be used for decision making along factory life cycle)?"" - ""Which are the most cost-effective and optimal Repair strategies we should tailor for sets of components/machines of the factory?"" - ""Which machine and/or components should we improve and how can we reduce repair time and cost?"" - ""Which are the most environmental-effective EOL strategies we should tailor for sets of components/machines of the factory?"" - ""How can we assess the remaining life of Re-usable components and which are most valuable Renovation technologies for the machine tools?"" The EASE-R3 project aims at developing a novel Integrated framework for a cost-effective and easy Repair, Renovation and Re-use of machine tools within modern Factory (machining shop floor), oriented both to SME and large OEM/end-users, and covering the entire life cycle of the system (from design stage throughout operative life).""EASE-R3 project aims at developing a novel Integrated framework for a cost-effective and easy Repair,Renovation ...
- EU project, 10/2011 - 11/2013TAMTAM "Exploiting the TIPTOE plAtforM by transferring ECVET and EQF semAntic tools in a Multi-sectoral perspective"The project identifies specific objectives and aims at enabling the young people to receive a training which comes through the local barriers, for example a virtual, geographical and sectoral mobility; but also they will allow to develop a real mutual trust among the workers/operators of the different contexts. The objectives are as follows: _ Representing a EQF level 5 qualification for each chosen sector according to a shared standard divided into two parts: common (described in terms of activities, tasks, performances and learning outcomes referred to competences) and subsidiary (through the national curriculum structured in terms of units and ECVET credit points allocated to them). ECVET tools for mobility are used for establishing links between HPE and VET qualifications. _ Uploading tasks and activities in the platform and capitalise the available data to carry out a benchmarking process on the standard effectiveness if compared with the labour market needs.The project identifies specific objectives and aims at enabling the young people to receive a training which comes ...
- EU project, 02/2012 - 10/2015OASIS "Openly Accessible Services and Interacting Society"The project aims at building a platform of interactive services thanks to data sharing, for citizens, associations, local authorities and companies. For local authorities and institutions, this is a new way of offering public services and favouring the citizen participation. This is also the opportunity of guaranteeing a public set of co-built data confirming their accessibility for all on the same conditions, favouring innovation and the sustainable economic development within their territories. OASIS constitutes the technical, legal and economic basis allowing the creation and animation of this ""common good of data"". The objectives of the platform are: - Favouring the citizen participation for the co-creation of data of general interest, allowing an easier access and the sharing of multiple data for any players (whether public, private or individual). - Favouring the co-construction of services associating public and private bodies, citizens, associations, laboratories. - Guaranteeing a neutrality of access to services and a transparency in their pricing. - Organizing a governance around shareable data so as to guarantee its access to future generations.The project aims at building a platform of interactive services thanks to data sharing, for citizens, ...
