Startups

Real Time OCM is a SanChip Innovation (SCI) project, an innovative start-up with the objective of helping companies who own industrial machinery, means of transport (e.g. ships), machines for producing energy (e.g. wind turbines, gas engines, etc.), and OEMs to implement predictive maintenance for their machine assets.

ReFuel Solutions was born out of the urgent need to decarbonize the transport sector for goods and people. A functioning vehicle with a number of years of life remaining cannot simply be scrapped due to the substantial environmental impact of scrapping and the expense of substitution.ReFuel has invented a product for such vehicles, instead adapting them to satisfy the new environmental requirements: BiodieselKit.This innovative technology guarantees maximum exploitation of the potential of biofuels.

MaCh3D is an innovative Material Testing (MT) platform designed for those who transform raw materials into finished products (for example, plastics, and additive manufacturing).MaCh3D is made up of:

Roboprint was born out of the fusion of the two apparently remote worlds of the versatile and well established tampographic printing method, and robotics, which is able to extend the potential of the former in fully customized integrations.Our comprehensive knowledge of the main printing techniques including tampographic, screen, and transfer printing, hot stamping and all the associated production issues, makes Roboprint an ideal professional partner.

A startup with the mission of designing and producing Integrated Electric Propulsion Systems for marine and eventually land-based ecosustainable vehicles.

Vectra Automation is a organization specialized in the automated guided vehicles (AGV) sector and automated logistics systems. The company designs and constructs customized AGVs for all types of industrial setting, also developing proprietary software (AGV-TM and AGV-SV) for traffic control, plant supervision, and integration with the customer's production systems.

PMFACTORY srl offers industrial support for the development of new products.We take care of the product's style, mechanical planning, simulation, production, operations and project management. We work indipendently to develop the product from its concept phase to its production; or by collaborating with the internal teams on specific tasks.

The corporate purpose is the development, production, and marketing, also by e-commerce, of innovative products and services. More specifically this means the development, production, and marketing of a web platform designed to facilitate commercial/production interactions between operators in the mechanical products market, aiming to improve the interface between sellers and potential customers, with special attention to the bearing and pneumatics sectors.

AlmaPlasma is a company that aims to design, manufacture and market advanced technological solutions in the field of atmospheric pressure thermal and non-thermal plasmas, developed by the Industrial Applications of Plasma (IAP) group at the University of Bologna.

SERENGEO is an innovative startup that provides consulting and design services in the field of geoengineering. Its goal is to transfer to industry the skills and knowledge gained in university research in the fields of mining engineering, environmental engineering, rock mechanics and geothermal energy. 

Established in July 2010, Be.Tube combines the professional experience of three mechanical engineers who have developed an innovative method for the production of bimetallic pipes destined for heat exchangers used in power plants for the treatment of corrosive fluids and for the generation of energy. This method - patented in Italy in 2008, expanded internationally in 2009 and deposited in Europe, USA and India in 2010 - allows for production savings in terms of time, energy costs and raw materials. Be.Tube's products and services include:

GQenergy was born with the aim of designing and manufacturing eco-sustainable products. Thanks to its technology, GQenergy aims to change the way of supplying energy to any device with a battery, thus significantly reducing costs and pollution while providing greater autonomy. 

PRES-X is a company that studies and industrializes innovative new methods to support additive manufacturing processes. It was born out of 20 years' experience in materials and processes, and profound know-how in the aeronautical and biomedical sectors where 3-D metal printing is constantly gaining ground. However, the technical and management needs of companies in these fields are currently not adequately served by traditional technologies, which are proving inadequate for manufacturing the most recent products.

3D4MEC Srl is the first entirely Italian company in terms of capital and know-how that produces and markets systems for metal additive manufacturing, specialized in the processing of specific alloys. 3D4STEEL is used for processing steel, and 3D4BRASS is the first 3D printer in the world capable of processing brass.

ASTRACEC SRL is a mechanical engineering firm designing, manufacturing, and marketing industrial quality control machines for the pharmaceuticals sector.ASTRACEC SRL produce automatic machines for testing the airtightness of medical bags (also called leak testing) for intravenous infusion fluids.We apply an innovative patented technology that offers considerable advantages compared to other technologies available on the market:

SystemItalia offers services for the maintenance of any machine with internal lubrication.In particular, it has developed a machine called MIS - Maintenance Intelligence System - capable of performing online, real-time monitoring of all the main lubricating oil parameters (such as viscosity, temperature, electrical conductivity, relative dielectric constant, percentage of water saturation and size and number of metal particles) without the need for any intervention or for the machinery to be stopped during installation.
