Bilateral Contracts with Industry
PhD CIFRE with EDF
Participants : Nassif Berrabah, Qinghua Zhang.
A joint PhD project between Inria and EDF (Electricité de France) has been started since December 2014. The purpose of this study is to develop methods for the monitoring of electrical instruments in power stations, in order to prevent failures caused by aging or accidental events. This project is funded by EDF and by the ANRT agency for three years.
Contracts with SVS
Participants : Laurent Mevel, Michael Doehler.
Annual agreement Inria-SVS 2381 + contract 4329
I4S is doing technology transfer towards SVS to implement I4S technologies into ARTEMIS Extractor Pro. This is done under a royalty agreement between Inria and SVS .
In 2014, the damage detection toolbox has been launched http://www.svibs.com/products/ARTeMIS_Modal_Features/Damage_Detection.aspx .
In 2015, SVS and Inria have earned an Innobooster grant to help transfer algorithms in 2016 Artemis Extractor Pro.
Contracts with A3IP
Participant : Vincent Le Cam.
A licensing work has been initialized at IFSTTAR in order to sold some licenses of PEGASE 2 to companies who would like to use, modify, extend and sell the functions in the Structural Health Monitoring world. Separate and non-exclusive licenses will be regarded to:
Contract with SNCF : DEMETER
Participants : Vincent Le Cam, Mathieu Le Pen.
Deployment of a set of PEGASE platform for SNCF: SNCF has just signed a contract in view of instrumenting 2 railways sites where the needs of wireless and smart sensors has been expressed. The overall objective is to evaluate the contribution of intelligent and autonomous sensors in rail uses-boxes. I4S next contribution will mainly focus on data processing and algorithms implementation.
Collaboration with SNCF
Participant : Jean Dumoulin.
SNCF as contacted us to assess the thermal monitoring of some of their railways walls.
Contract with GDF
Participants : Vincent Le Cam, Mathieu Le Pen.
GDF (national french Gaz company) has signed a wide contract with IFSTTAR relative to many items in Wireless Sensors Networks. One of the items will be prototyped on PEGASE 2 platform and consists in finding an accurate solution for WSN synchronization without GPS source and for an autonomy of 10 years. One of the identified solution will be prototyped on PEGASE 2 as wireless and generic development platform and as it offers an accurate 100 nanoseconds absolute time reference.
Collaboration with SIEMENS : NEOVAL Rennes
Participant : Jean Dumoulin.
Since 2012, a work has been initiated for thermal studies for SIEMENS about subway infrastructures. 2013 was dedicated to the study of thermal instrumentation of subway. 2014 was focused on the instrumentation of a rail mockup in Nantes.
