Industry 4.0: smart test bench for shipbuilding industry
2020
AbstractIndustry 4.0 promises to increase the efficiency of production plants and the quality of the final product. Consequently, companies that implement advanced solutions in production systems will have a competitive advantage in the future. The principles of Industry 4.0 can also be applied to shipyards to transform them into “smart shipyards” (Shipyard 4.0). The aim of this research is to implement an interactive approach by Internet of Things on a closed power-loop test bench equipped with sophisticated sensors that is specifically designed to test high-power thrusters before they are installed on high-speed crafts, which are used in passenger transport. The preliminary results of the…
Industry 4.0: Advanced digital solutions implemented on a close power loop test bench
2021
Abstract The paradigm of Industry 4.0 allows to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the production. Companies that will implement advanced solutions in production systems will increase their level of competitiveness and will be able reach high market shares. The present paper is focused on the development of advanced digital solutions to be implemented on a close power loop test bench designed to test high power transmissions for naval unit. In particular, the test configuration consists of a back-to-back connection between two identical mechanical reducers. Since the efficiency of these systems are very high, it is not necessary to use large electric motors, thus managing to conta…
L'archivio del cantiere navale di Palermo
2015
Il cantiere navale di Palermo nasce all’interno di un disegno organico che ha come protagonista l’impero industria- le della più importante famiglia imprenditoriale del XIX secolo in Sicilia, i Florio. L’impresa nasce con lo scopo di garantire alla produzione isolana un ruolo nel disegno politico e nei piani economici del nuovo Regno d’Italia. In questa prima fase, il cantiere navale è caratterizzato da valenze fortemente identitarie legate al territorio urbano e alle espressioni culturali della borghesia di ne ‘800 a Palermo. Il passaggio dello stabilimento navale ad uno dei più potenti gruppi industriali italiani, facente capo ad una dinastia familiare del settentrione d’Italia, determina…
