1. SPIRE 1 – 2014: Integrated Process Control Proposal: Cross-sectorial demonstration project of a new Process Analyser Technology (PAT) based on low cost sensors for energy and ambient real time monitoring Acronim: PAT_Ball

2. PAT_Ball: Technology The Department of Electronic Engineering of the Universitat de València has developed a new technology for monitoring energy (active, reactive, frecuency, voltage, electric current,…) and ambient variables (temperature, pH, pressure, turbulence, magnetic fields, electric conductivity,…) based on autonomous miniaturized wireless motes. On top of the wireless motes, system’s architecture contains a hub that analyses data coming from motes and that acts as web server in order to make that information available to any terminal (PC, PLC, mobile phone, tablet,…) thanks to a star network. The Those devices contain a transceiver, a microcontroller, a power supply and the specific sensor to control the target energy / ambient variable.

3. Those motes contain a transceiver, a microcontroller, a power supply and the specific sensor to control the target energy / ambient variable. Main advantages of the technology are: Reduced size and easy to transport in industrial fluids (if necessary) Energy autonomous (possible to use industrial equipment vibration as power supply) Software for recording, analysis and prediction based on neural networks Possibility of integration of multiple ambient sensors Good resistance to industrial environments Low cost They can be integrated into a plug, connected to power panels or even embedded in a sphere that can be carried by the process fluid. The sphere is able to acquire data and download when required. PAT_Ball: Technology

4. PAT_Ball: Partners Search REQUESTED PARTNERS: Industrial companies interested in monitoring their processes in order to improve resource and energy efficiency as pilot plants for the demonstration project. Main sectors: – Chemical industry – Pharma – Oil industry – Paper mills – … Sensors manufacturers keen to integrate their products into the mote Engineering companies specialised in energy efficiency projects Electronic equipment manufacturers interested in technology transfer
