Persico spa and the CAL started a collaboration for a research projects that involves the development of a fast and simple procedure for tuning the controllers of Persico thermo-forming presses. The project is thus divided in two stages: Modeling of the machine using ADAMS and Simulink, also called co-simulation (Figure 1 and Figure 2) Design of the strategy for tunin...

This project is born from the collaboration between Unibg and BFT company. BFT is a company that develops innovative systems for the automation of residential, commercial and urban contexts. The aim of the project is to automatically estimate the mass of a sliding gate from measured signals by onboard sensors. The problem is well motivated: infact, for safety reasons, regulatio...

Leakage in the water supply networks is becoming one of the largest resource waste of the system, ranging from the 10-20% of the total water for the newly updated infrastructure up to nearly 60% in remote places like mountain villages. Since water is a fundamental and limited resource in the society, the supplier of the province of Bergamo, Uniacque s.p.a, has started a projec...
