Councillor Brandoni visiting Cantiere delle Marche: 'Proud of our 'Made in Marche' in the world' - Innovative platform for large yachts built with ERDF resources presented
A multifunctional stern platform with carbon structure, hydraulically moved to lift loads, people or even a jet ski on mega-yachts, remotely controlled, managed by APP for Android and iOS systems, with adaptive artificial intelligence algorithm and safety sensors.
The project, realised by a chain of Marche enterprises and financed by the Marche Region under the POR MARCHE FESR 2014/2020 and the Action “Promotion of research and development in the areas of smart specialisation”, was illustrated this morning at the headquarters of the lead company, Cantiere delle Marche of Ancona, world leader in the steel and aluminium displacement Explorer Yachts market. In attendance were Budget Councillor Goffredo Brandoni, MP Stefano Benvenuti Gostoli and Regional Councillor Carlo Ciccioli, welcomed by Cantiere delle Marche President Ennio Cecchini……”
“The project was illustrated in detail by Cantiere’s technical director Eng. Vasil Truja: “We detected a market need,” he explained, “The platforms of this type available to date in fact presented certain reliability and performance problems known to all operators in the sector. Thanks to research, study and experimental development, we have created an innovative platform through the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in order to create a unique product ‘best practice’ that has also generated the production of 3 patents filed by AMS’.
The supply chain is made up of Cantiere delle Marche S.r.l. of Ancona (lead company); Advanced Mechanical Solutions S.r.l. of Ancona, a company operating in the design and supply of custom products in the luxury nautical sector; Ennegi S.r.l. of Pesaro, specialised in the production of moulds for thermoforming and RRIM technologies in the Automotive and Aerospace sectors; Furlanetto International S. r.l. of San Benedetto del Tronto, dedicated to the design and construction of naval electrical systems, construction of electrical switchboards up to the installation of control and automation systems; SAILADV S.r.l. of Senigallia, specialised in sea tests and trials, analysis, surveys and specific technical measurements.
The project was realised with the collaboration of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Universitari e Perfezionamento Sant’Anna (Institute of Mechanical Intelligence).
More than 50 people were involved in the realisation, for a total of more than 38,000 hours between engineering and production, and 14 people were hired, compared to the 12 envisaged in the application. The new hires are mainly engineers.
