Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
FTI-Fast Track to innovation: SCOUT - Maintenance cost reduction and fuel waste reduction.
A Spanish SME is preparing a full proposal to the Horizon 2020-Fast Track to Innovation program, project: "Smart Monitoring & Control and User interactive ecosystem for improving energy efficiency and economic maintenance of Medium-Weight Ships".
The company is looking for a partner with expertise in the maritime transport of passengers and cargo to implement the technical support services necessary for the maintenance cost reduction and fuel waste reduction.
- Research cooperation agreement
The technology system, installable in vessels of any age, with relatively low cost of installation and maintenance, performs a thorough in depth analysis of the working conditions of the vessel and fleet. Based on the data captured a set of very advanced algorithms is applied in order to infer patterns of behaviour, both mechanical or staff, which can predict a mechanical fault or a misbehaviour.
The partner will be fundamental in the following stages:
? WP1: Product improvement (from TRL6 to TRL9)
? WP2: Industrialization of production
? WP3: Road to market and operation
? WP4: Great scale demonstrators
? WP5: Strategic and operational management
? WP6: Dissemination and communication activities
The deadline for the project submission is 23 May 2019.
The deadline for EOIs in this profile is 23 April 2019.
- Specific area of activity of the partner: A company dedicated to the maritime transport of passengers and cargo. The mission of the company should respond to the needs of transport by offering its customers a quality and environmentally friendly service.
The desired fleet would be composed of small and medium sized vessels. The type of vessels could be tugboats, ferries, dredges, offshore work-boats, and similar ships operating intensively with high consumption rates.
It is worth noting that the project is focused on vessels of any age, even taking into account that more than 57% of vessels (small and medium sized, mostly operated near the coast) are more than 15 years old.
