DESIGN

What’s plant design about?

Plant design is the core of our business. Poweren delivers to customers a full palette of services: from operational management running professionals, to simulation of the whole machinery life cycle (planning, building, maintenance etc.) thanks to the creation of a smart 3D template. This kind of modus operandi ensures to monitor each step maintaining awareness of the desired final outcome and the chance to consider alternatives ways. Realizing a plant follows a specific and proven process.

1.Planning: a status quo must be analysed combining real data and hypotheses of data to establish a starter template.

2.Designing: this is the most challenging phase when ideas take shape and each detail is perfected. All professionals, from in-house technical designer to external consultants, are requested to get involved to solve any concern.

3.Building: implementation of project procedures, sharing information with professionals and contractors to ensure compliance with requirements in order to achieve the outcome.

4. operational management and maintenance of assets: our model fits all steps from the beginning to all possible future adjustments. Project analysis can also be used in a later stage, for example for an adjustment post construction, a plant revamping or expansion, maintenance or efficient dismantling (if required as per principles of circular economy).

WHAT IS DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL MACHINERY?

Design of industrial machinery is the core business of our company: we aim to optimize technique and method of production of each item, enhancing our level of quality in terms of efficacy, safety, costs and profits while in the meantime reducing the environmental impact.

First step consists in screening: determining the feature set that the machinery will have to guarantee all his life long.

The designing process foresees the study of structural features, type and amount assessment of material in order to identify a solution preventing any waste and allocating resources to best effects, in accordance with the principles of circular economy.

Designing need to consider all aspects related to maintenance, as being essential.

Eventually we must be able to guarantee the free movement of the machinery within the single market and at the same time ensure safety of people; this can happens only by knowing and applying all current standards and regulations, first and foremost the Machinery Directive.

WHAT IS CURTAIN WALL DESIGN?

Curtain wall design is a service that we supply to our partners: we cooperate to the development of exterior curtain wall realized with light building envelope, like glass panels.

We can count on the expertise of several teams specialized in different sectors ranging from designing 2D rooms to the development of 3D parametric models, from carpentry design to structural verification.

Thanks to this approach, we offer a continuous support in every stage starting from its first steps, that is, development of 2D architectural plan, to detailed drawing defining each production phase, passing through 3D modelling of all items which will compose the curtain wall (whether panel units or glass panels).

Meanwhile we provide a development and structural verification service on carpentry systems.

WHAT IS TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION?

Design of industrial machinery is the core business of our company.

By technical documentation, we refer to all materials accompanying items, machinery and plants which are required to explain their functioning.

Poweren is charged in drafting the technical documentation for any project developed within our studio, and more: we have the required know-how to draft operator’s manuals and technical files for products and equipment which have been previously realized by our customer.

Thanks to Use and Maintenance manual, customer can learn more about safety and intervention procedures, can examine the different phases (design philosophy, transport, installation, assembly, usage, maintenance and dismantling after using) which have to be jointly developed with company managers. Use and Maintenance manual has to list:

• Explanatory details of the product on how to operate safely;
• Correct behavior instructions to follow, with particular attention to caution/restriction and indication of residual risks not solved in designing;
• Understandable language for all users, especially for the final one thanks to user-friendly guidelines.

Drafting of Technical File, of which the Use and Maintenance manual is part of, is a documentation process that progresses as the product generates during its designing, testing, assembly and delivery to the end user.

It includes several documents jointly developed and collected through different phases from drawing to risk analysis, from maintenance procedures to statement of compliance etc.

WHAT’S FEM STRUCTURAL ANALISYS?

FEM structural analysis (Finished Elements Method) allows us to test how a system acts while being subjected to external condition of stress such as constraints and loads.

This analysis process embraces 3 different moments:

• Pre-analysis process: thanks to the knowledge of our Engineers, we are able to switch a real physical situation into a mathematics model.

• The analysis process: it consists in effectively solving the problem.

• Post-analysis phase: we elaborate and provide the solution.

WHAT IS PROTOTYPING?

Realizing a scale prototype means realizing a veritable prototype. Designing gives birth to an object: the whole staff gets involved first in realizing and then in executing functional tests.

This is the highest expression of one of our values: teamwork!

It represents a Team Building experience, essential for our company growth.

Our consciousness stems from a path beginning with the draft of a technical drawing and leading to a real item: our lab becomes a workshop where our designers and partners work side by side. An item is given to birth: it is such a magical moment.

But prototyping is not only finalizing a work: it is a starting point to come up with new ideas and to solve any issues.

WHAT IS PROTOTYPE DESIGN?

Designing a prototype means realizing a new model: our target is finding new solutions through cross-contamination due to different skills and technologies employed, contemplating ideas arising from various business sectors as suggested by the Open Innovation model we draw inspiration from.

Prototype Design is a challenge: you can rarely refer to an already existing similar case, you need to figure out a possible strategy and envision the results, thinking out of boxes.

Comparing to different reality ensures you to have a wider vision and to assess the most various prospects.

WHAT IS DESIGN AND SUPPLY OF SERIES PRODUCTS?

We provide to our customer Design and supply of series products service. Our open-mindedness allows us to face new challenges: our passions, our contacts, acquaintances or partners are a creativeness source.

Sometimes customer may need an improvement to the existing product or may wish to have it customized. At other times, a brand new item may be requested.

Our Research & Development department gets a request for a new prototype designing and its subsequent realization; the said prototype may become a series product.

The items we currently realized range from stainless steel tanks for food industry to mounting kit Easy Oven, from food truck PanePizza to generator for sanitizing and cleaning solutions like Neboolar.

We dispose of a range of defined template that can be realize upon customer request. If custom production is required, our designers use to consider the best solution and set a project, which will be submitted to the manufacturing department.

As per our working method, we provide to our customer all certification concerning the materials and components used in the process.
