La scorsa settimana, presso l’𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐚̀ 𝐝𝐞𝐠𝐥𝐢 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐢 𝐝𝐢 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐨, facoltà di ingegneria, è stata discussa la tesi «𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘪 𝘍𝘌𝘔 𝘦 𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘮𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘢 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢 𝘥𝘪 𝘶𝘯𝘢 𝘨𝘳𝘶 𝘱𝘦𝘳 𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘰» di 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐨 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢, sviluppata in collaborazione con MELCAL e seguita in azienda da 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐧𝐚, Responsabile del Reparto Strutturale, con il contributo del 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐆𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢 e del 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟. 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐃’𝐀𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨. 🎓

⚙️Il lavoro ha analizzato il comportamento strutturale di una gru per ambiente marino attraverso un confronto tra analisi FEM (Finite Element Method) e validazione sperimentale mediante telemetria estensimetrica.

Un progetto che testimonia il valore della collaborazione tra università e industria.🤝

Last week, at the Faculty of Engineering of the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐨, the thesis entitled “𝘍𝘌𝘔 𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘌𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭 𝘝𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯-𝘎𝘢𝘶𝘨𝘦 𝘛𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘳𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘢 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦-𝘌𝘯𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘊𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘦” was presented by 𝐕𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐳𝐨 𝐑𝐚𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢. 🎓 The thesis was developed in collaboration with MELCAL and supervised within the company by 𝐀𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐨 𝐁𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐧𝐚, Head of the Structural Department, with the contribution of Prof. 𝐆𝐢𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐩𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢 and Prof. 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐃’𝐀𝐜𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨.

⚙️The work investigated the structural behavior of a crane designed for marine environments through a comparison between Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis and experimental validation using strain gauge telemetry.

A project that highlights the value of collaboration between academia and industry, fostering innovation, knowledge transfer, and the development of practical engineering solutions.🤝

Behind every buoy, light, and maritime signal is the daily commitment of the Italian Navy's Navigation Aids Maintenance Vessels, ensuring the 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐚. 🌊🛟

To support these specific operations, we designed our 𝐓𝐋𝟖𝟓𝟎𝐓𝟑𝐀𝐇𝐂 MELCAL, a crane developed specifically for the unique requirements of Navigation Aids Maintenance Vessels. Combining precision, reliability, and performance, it is tailored to handle the demanding tasks these vessels perform every day. 🔧⚙️

The crane is currently undergoing load testing at our outdoor test bench, a crucial step to validate its performance and reliability before delivery.

A purpose-built crane for a purpose-built mission: keeping navigation safe at sea.

La scorsa settimana la nostra Quality Manager, Jlenia Sanzone, è stata ospite dell' Università Degli Studi Di Palermo per presentare MELCAL prima della discussione della tesi di Francesco Palazzolo, sviluppata in collaborazione con la nostra azienda.

L'intervento ha raccontato il percorso intrapreso da MELCAL nell'ambito della sostenibilità, evidenziando come il lavoro di tesi abbia contribuito a sviluppare un metodo concreto per affrontare il primo percorso di rendicontazione ESG.

Per noi, questa collaborazione rappresenta molto più di un progetto accademico: è la conferma che il dialogo tra università e impresa crea valore, favorisce l'innovazione e offre ai giovani l'opportunità di trasformare il proprio talento in esperienza concreta.

Crediamo nei giovani e nel loro potenziale. Perché costruire un ponte tra formazione e impresa significa investire nel futuro.

Last week, our Quality Manager, Jlenia Sanzone, was invited to the 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐨 to introduce MELCAL before the thesis defense of Francesco Palazzolo, whose research was carried out in collaboration with our company.

During her presentation, she shared MELCAL's sustainability journey, highlighting how Francesco's thesis contributed to the development of a practical methodology to support our first ESG reporting process.

For us, this collaboration represents much more than an academic project: it confirms that strong partnerships between universities and businesses create value, foster innovation, and give young talents the opportunity to turn their knowledge into real-world experience.

We believe in young people and in their potential. Because building a bridge between education and industry means investing in the future.
