Seeking to Reduce Contamination in Production Lines (Converting Machines) |
| |
We are seeking to reduce contamination in our production lines (converting machines). The specific machines use diverse web materials (mainly non-woven based) to produce our products. The materials come to our machines in a planetary roll form. Those rolls would be unwound and conveyed through the converting processes (combining, cutting…) to form final products. Within this process, the web materials release different sources of contamination (e.g. dust &/or fibers) causing accumulation of contamination in all places of the machine where it can settle. With the late changes of materials, we have seen a substantial increase in contamination. As a result, we need to move cleaning times from 8 hour intervals (10 minute cleaning with 2 operators) to less than 6 hour intervals (>15min cleaning with 4 people). In order to maintain operability standards and productivity, we are seeking methods to return to 8 hour cleaning intervals. |

Seeking safe and effective outdoor mosquito solutions |
| |
Seeking safe and effective outdoor mosquito solutions to help consumers enjoy their yard and outdoor spaces without the annoyance and inconvenience of mosquito bites. Mosquitos are a common nuisance and disease spreading insect. In addition to being vectors of disease, one of the main reasons we want to tackle this pest is to allow people to enjoy outdoor activities more frequently – e.g., eating outside, spending time with family, and watching outdoor sporting events. Here in P&G Ventures, we are looking for existing, in market solutions which exist globally that are specifically designed to kill or repel mosquitos. |
TWISCO – Digital TWIn for Sustainable Supply Chain in Construction |
| |
TwiSCo is a Digital Twin solution demonstrator whose purpose is to promote the sharing of data on construction products in order to finally have complete, accurate and reliable data on a built asset and thus be able to better manage its construction, maintenance and end of life, and to reduce the gap between designed and as-built performance of future constructions. To this aim, TwiSCo offers value-added services which, by enabling players of the construction supply chain to optimize their practices, lead them to formalize and structure their data, and to share them with a win-win perspective. Here are some examples of the gains that the construction supply chain can expect from the tool: Development of new BIM use cases dedicated to the construction phase of buildings, using IFC data coming from BIM models in order to optimize material deliveries on construction sites; Integration of product data from manufacturers (according to new ISO 23386 and 23387) using an ontology to ensure collaboration and efficient data exchanges; de facto, enrichment of as-built model; Implementation of Just-in-Time logistics through a web platform where construction companies and their subcontractors can customize kits and define where they will be delivered and installed, how it should be packaged and when it should be delivered; ·Better control of delivery conditions through the integration of sensors data on site; ·Customization of delivery means and constraints for each project based on user defined business rules ; ·Improved monitoring of the construction site thanks to parcel tracking that enables to locate the place where a material is stored or installed; ·Multi criteria evaluation of current delivery scenarios and alerts on unmanaged constraints; ·Proposition of optimized delivery scenarios calculated by a genetic algorithm. |
Zagblade: Reduction of aero acoustic pollution by introducing novel serrated trailing edges |
| |
An aerofoil blade design that reduces trailing edge noise by means of a saw-tooth serration filled with a porous material. The serration and porous material work constructively with each other to significantly improve the aero-acoustic performance. An optimal choice of the porous materials has been identified, where it can achieve broadband noise reduction whilst completely suppressing the vortex shedding tone. This new device is more industrially-ready than the conventional “add-on” type serration due to its superior structural integrity. In addition it produces an aerodynamic performance similar to that of the baseline aerofoil. Applicable to a wide range from applications from drones, UAVs, aircraft engines, wind turbines and fan blades. |
New non-destructive method for “in situ” monitoring of anticorrosive protection of organic coatings |
| |
Paint coating is one of the most used methods to delay corrosion process in metallic structures. Metal corrosion is the main reason of metallic infrastructure deterioration (bridges, boats, planes…) causing failures in numerous industrial areas. The economic loss due to corrosion is estimated at about 4% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in industrialized countries. Due to the serious consequences of this phenomenon, it is essential to develop effective methods for early detection of coatings failures and establishment of deterioration mechanisms. However nowadays, most of the inspection methods are indirect, destructive and based on deterministic or probabilistic models, which limits the coatings performance assessment on the in real operating conditions. The Corrosion Engineering and Materials Research Group (ENCOMAT) proposes a solution to this problem with a new device and a direct and non-destructive test based on electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The main novelty of the device and procedure is the new portable sensor adaptable to any surface. The device, fixable by vacuum to the surface under study, makes possible the measurement of the electrochemical interfacial impedance. That is the main parameter of interest for adherence quality and anti-corrosion performance. The procedure reduces testing time and allows in situ assays to be performed. |
