i-MAAT: Mathematical Analytical Application Tool
Project co-financed by the Tuscany Region and carried out by Configuratori.it s.r.l in partnership with Nuovo Pignone Tecnologie Srl (project leader) and other Tuscan companies as Ergon Research and BigFlo.
POR CREO 2014 – 2020 – Azione 1.1.5 sub – azione a1) Bando 1 “Progetti strategici di ricerca e sviluppo”, D.D. n. 7165 del 24.05.2017 e ss.mm.ii. CUP:D51B17002410009
The project makes it possible to make a significant contribution in terms of skills and technologies in the field of 3D Modeling, Cloud and Big Data services, developing tools for the formal management of technical knowledge. This is a fundamental requirement for the implementation of the Model Based Enterprise, an integral part of the new Industry 4.0 approach to production, including the phase of product pre-engineering and configuration management (digital thread).
Currently, commercial systems capable of managing complex problems through a set of knowledge-based rules, large amounts of data (both from the field and from simulations), invocations of commercial and proprietary applications, are not available either nationally or internationally. , all through distributed services and cloud-based collaboration.
The i-MAAT project therefore aims to fill this gap with the development of a platform capable of:
- Organize a systematic collection of knowledge to build a set of rules that can guide the design process (knowledge based engineering)
- Develop an intuitive environment with a friendly interface that can facilitate human interaction during the capture and use of technical knowledge
- Inject all those tools and rules that characterize a Model Based Enterprise (MBE) approach in a very preliminary phase of the design
- Organize data in a shared database, no matter where it comes from, efficiently and economically
- Manage the passage of incoming data to applications in a transparent manner for the user (this is one of the most frequent causes of human interaction in digital processes)
The i-MAAT platform will be applied to the selection and offer process of Nuovo Pignone products and in the future other companies which, due to its multidisciplinarity, is a sufficiently complex scenario to represent an excellent use case for the development of the platform.
