Giordano Controls has always tried to build relations based on trust and to maintain them over time to benefit from the opportunities they may create

This is made possible thanks to a dense network of relationships with many local, regional, national and international entities and establishing collaborations with stakeholders and policymakers.

The participation in regional and national technological clusters allows us to access information on technological trends, to increase the links with the other national players and to keep updated on project’s funding opportunities.

Regional networking - collaboration with other managers of Veneto’s regional R&D , with regional and municipal administrations, with confindustria, with Digital Innovation Hub-Speedhub, with the competence center SMACT and with Veneto’s innovative networks (Veneto Clima ed Energia - VCE, ICT for Smart and Sustainable Living - ICT4SSL, IMPROVENET-ICT for Smart Manufacturing Processes Veneto Network)
National networking - collaborations with the associations and with the national technological clusters: Assotermica (ANIMA), Cluster Tecnologico Nazionale Energia CTNE
European networks - collaboration with the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance ECH2A and with IKERLAN, center of technological transfer, member of Mondragon Corporation and linked to the Basque Research and Technology alliance (BRTA)

Giordano Controls promoted the birth and is currently a member of the management team of Rete Innovativa Regionale Veneto Clima ed Energia, a system composed of highly specialised firms operating in the thermo-mechanical sector and of public and private subjects operating in different sectors , able to develop a set of projects and initiatives relevant for the regional economy. RIR Veneto Clima ed Energia, partner of the CTNE (Cluster Tecnologico Nazionale Energia), aims at creating new systems, devices and components for the progress of the operating and technological innovation in the environmental, energetic and economic fields, compatible with the goals previously set.

PROJECT

Sustainable and INnovative Energy systems for Renewables and Green HYdrogen - SINERGHY

Giordano Controls is a partner in the SINERGHY project, co-funded under the PR Veneto FESR 2021-2027 Asse 1, Azione 1.1.1.

With the involvement and close collaboration of 10 companies from the Veneto region, the Universities of Padua and Verona, and the CNR IC-MATE, the project focuses on the development of an integrated and innovative energy system that combines advanced technologies for the production, storage, and management of energy from renewable sources. It aims to develop advanced and integrated technological solutions to improve energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The main areas of research and development include:

1.Hybrid System for Green Hydrogen and Energy Storage: Integration of an electrolyser for green hydrogen production with electrochemical storage systems and renewable energy sources

2.Solid Hydrogen Technologies: Production and regeneration of solid hydrogen by non-electrolytic means

3.Pure Hydrogen Boilers: Development of industrial boilers for the combustion of pure hydrogen

4.Multi-Source Heat Pumps: Development of innovative heat pumps (air-water and water-water) combined with efficient and cost-effective geothermal probes, integrated with thermal-refrigeration storage and photovoltaic systems with electric batteries, managed by an AI control system

5.Tandem Photovoltaic Cells: Creation of photovoltaic cells that combine crystalline silicon and thin-film technology to absorb different parts of the solar spectrum

6.Hybrid Systems for Spirulina Algae and CO2: Development of systems for the production of spirulina algae using renewable photovoltaic energy to capture industrial CO2 waste

7.Energy Renovation of Buildings: Development of innovative products for energy efficiency upgrades, including balconies and monoblocks for ventilated walls and vertical gardens

Duration: 02.10.2024 – 30.04.2027

PROJECT

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE BASED ON CIBER-PHYSICAL IoT AND AI SYSTEMS FOR PROACTIVE MONITORING OF HEATING BOILERS, HYBRID SYSTEMS AND HVAC APPLICATIONS IN GENERAL

The project provides the heating and cooling sector with a solution based on IoT and Artificial Intelligence technologies, to propose innovative systems to the market that can bring about a major breakthrough in service and maintenance activities, product quality, the development of actions for significant technical improvement, with the possibility of proposing additional services and supporting in an advanced digital way the complete management of the proposal as a ‘service’ rather than as a ‘product’ (servitisation). The objective is the improvement of the quality of life through the application of digital technologies and automation from a human-centric perspective in a manner adaptive to the conditions in which the person operates. The project promotes environmental sustainability for air-conditioning solutions by enabling accessibility and user-friendliness of interfaces, self-activation, remote monitoring and maintenance.

The project saw the application of IoT technology and cyber-physical systems that enable connectivity and Cloud collection of system configuration data, operating data and usage of hybrid systems (boiler, heat pump) and traditional boilers in order to achieve a predictive and proactive maintenance system.

Duration: 01.03.2023 – 31.07.2024
Project expenditure: 200.000€
Granted support: 50.000€

In collaboration with the University of Verona - Department of Computer Science
