ENGINEERED ANTIVIBRATION SYSTEMS FOR ON-BOARD VIBRO-ACOUSTIC COMFORT

To improve comfort on board yachts and ships, Pantecnica® has developed specialized technical skills to design and supply effective systems to mitigate both structural and secondary airborne noise in cabins and on deck. The wide range of certified anti-vibration systems, also in the tear-proof version, can meet every application requirement to improve onboard comfort. Furthermore, the focus on protecting the marine environment has always been one of our priorities, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 14 of the UN 2030 Agenda. Not only have we been supporters of the One Ocean Foundation since its inception, but we have also developed innovative systems to avoid antifouling treatments, which are known to be polluting, and acoustic shieldings in 100% recyclable material.

Italy’s historical heritage new allies: Pantecnica® and Phononic Vibes

Cultural heritage is protected thanks to NoViDamp® panels made by Pantecnica and Phononic Vibes

Between 3% and 5% of turnover is the share that Pantecnica invests in Research and Development, believing in new projects and patents, in particular by cooperating with Politecnico di Milano, but also with other research bodies and institutions. The themes of sustainability and the circular economy also play an essential role in the mission and vision of Pantecnica, which has never had any doubts about embracing projects related to environmental protection. “True to our orientation towards research and circular economy, with Phononic Vibes – a Politecnico di Milano start-up responsible for the patent I am going to describe and some other partners – we have developed the innovative NoViDamp ® anti-vibration panels suitable for multiple applications, either in infrastructure, civil and industrial environments”, says Davide Fatigati, executive chairman of the Rho-based company. These panels were developed as part of the “Simp Tram” project, an innovative system for comfort from vibrations from railway traffic based on periodic metastructures, co-financed by the Lombardy Region, and are innovative because, as Fatigati specifies, “they are easy and quick to install, they are easy to inspect and replace, and they are made of a high and easily separable percentage of recycled and recyclable material”. This solution is highly effective, for example, in protecting cultural assets such as monuments, churches, museums, and historical buildings from vibrations caused by vehicular and tram traffic. In a country like Italy, whose artistic heritage is of unparalleled value and vastness, NoViDamp panels have endless applications. In fact, they were recently successfully installed in the square in front of the Basilica of San Marco in Florence. This is a great job, whose remarkable effectiveness has also been appreciated by the Ministry of Culture. “Technology in Italy has to adapt to various sites under the protection of Cultural Heritage, and in these first applications, our NoViDamp panels have definitely passed the test, bringing benefits to the area of their application”, Fatigati emphasizes…..go on reading

Pantecnica® is confirmed as an ethical, transparent and with proper business management

With reference to the certification of its modus operandi by the AGCM (the Italian Competition and Market Authority), we are pleased to announce that in 2023 Pantecnica® has improved its rating compared to the previous assessment, and has achieved the score of “2 stars++” out of a maximum obtainable of three stars. This concise indicator of a company’s compliance with high standards of legality and the degree of attention paid to the correct management of the business, takes the form of an assigned score from one to three stars, based on the level of compliance with requirements that are partly regulatory and partly non-regulatory. The assignment of a score higher than the first star depends on the number of bonus requirements met, including, for example, adherence to legality protocols, adoption of payment traceability, the presence of proven Corporate Social Responsibility systems, and enrolment in white supplier lists. Having improved the result is a spur to continue in the direction undertaken, with ever-renewed energy.

The third dimension of transport

Hybrid Electric Vertical Short Take-Off and Landing (Hevstol) aircraft and vertiports enabling environmentally friendly point-to-point connections, intra-city and inter-city, decongesting inter-regional and partly urban car traffic. Vehicles capable of optimizing travel times, reducing fuel consumption. This is not science ﬁction, but the reality of the third dimension or Advanced Air Mobility, which will characterize the near future. This is a real cultural revolution in the ﬁeld of transport that will affect the strategic conception of territories, offering a fundamental alternative to land transport, under the banner of technological innovation, environmental sustainability and time saving, and connecting geographical areas that are currently difficult to reach. In this context, Manta Aircraft’s ANN family of vehicles stands out, starting with the Ann2, the advanced air mobility aircraft that is the result of the work of a pool of high-proﬁle engineers from different sectors of specialization. We spoke to Lucas Marchesini, CEO of Manta Aircraft, Andrea Pavone, founder of the Advanced Air Mobility Hub, and Davide Fatigati, Executive Chairman of Pantecnica. “We started working on the ANN2 prototype at the end of 2019, combining the fast and ﬂexible mindset and technologies of Formula 1 with the aviation background. This is quite different from the traditional, institutional approach of aeronautics: the speed of design typical of the motorsport sector has been fully embraced in this case.
ANN2 is a perfect example of the integration of excellence from the automotive and aeronautical worlds” says Lucas Marchesini, who also emphasizes how technological transitions today are much more dynamic and faster than in the past, thanks in part to the contribution of fresh ideas, linked to open innovation, from start-ups and companies like Manta Aircraft.
Considering the ease of piloting and performance – 300 km/h with a range of 300 to 1,000 km – the ANN2 is reminiscent of a ﬂying sports car, with an ergonomic and winning design. “The aircraft, with hybrid propulsion, recharges its batteries in ﬂight and features a canard conﬁguration, with two empennages and a total of eight ducted fans, four of which can be tilted vertically for take-off and landing, and horizontally for translation and cruise ﬂight. Everything is controlled by a new generation of software.
Thanks to the hybrid propulsion, there is no need for heavy batteries onboard or recharging ground infrastructure, and the aircraft is
also ready to switch to hydrogen, therefore totally avoiding CO2 emissions. Moreover, thanks to the electric ducted fans, noise pollution is also reduced”, Andrea Pavone enthusiastically explains. The project is still in the development phase, but the prototypes will soon be completed thanks to the contribution of excellent companies such as Pantecnica and Powerﬂex. “We are partners with Manta Aircraft to contribute to the development and supply of anti-vibration systems and acoustic shielding to improve vibro-acoustic comfort onboard, further mitigating the residual noise generated by the occasional operation of the generator, whether it is powered by “biofuel” or hydrogen. Powerﬂex, on the other hand, will contribute to the structural analysis using the ﬁnite element method (FEM) and to the execution of the necessary environmental qualiﬁcation tests for the aeronautical sector,” explains Davide Fatigati of Pantecnica.
“The aim is to involve in this project the companies that represent the best Made in Italy technology to develop an ecosystem of Italian excellence to be exported abroad. The Advanced Air Mobility sector is incredibly promising and will enable us to take aviation to a more personal level, halfway between automotive and aerospace, opening the doors to the future,” concludes Lucas Marchesini.

Business for Ocean Sustainability: Focus – Fashion industry

One Ocean Foundation, in collaboration with SDA Bocconi Sustainability Lab and under the patronage of Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, continues to analyze the relationship between ocean sustainability and the business world, with a new report that deep-dives into a specific industrial sector: “Business for Ocean Sustainability: Focus – Fashion industry”.

This report is based on an in-depth analysis of the sustainability reports of 28 fashion companies, academic publications, statistical data, government reports and practitioner-based literature.

The fashion industry is one of the world’s biggest manufacturing industries and, at the same time, it is considered one of the most polluting industries in the world.

The study offers a snapshot of the fashion industry’s main pressures on the environment and, more specifically, on marine ecosystems, and provides a clear view of sustainable best practices along the value chain for sustainable transformation.

Pantecnica® is proud to be partner of OneOcean Foundation.
