Cruise giant Carnival Corporation has announced the rollout of technology upgrades across its fleet to improve energy savings and reduce fuel consumption.
The company said its upgrade programme, called Service Power, will deliver an average of 5-10% fuel savings per ship and is expected to reduce fleetwide greenhouse gas emissions by more than 500,000 metric tonnes each year.
The programme is also expected to generate more than $150 million in annual fuel cost savings.
More: Carnival Corp’s sustainability goal is ‘continuous improvement’
Developed over the past six years, the programme includes air conditioning upgrades to cabin and public areas and “major enhancements” to cooling, lighting and automation systems.
The upgrades are part of the company’s ongoing energy efficiency investment programme, which has seen an investment of more than £350 million since 2016.
Upgrade installations will be ongoing through 2023 on ships from the company’s nine cruise line brands: Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Holland America Line, Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Costa Cruises, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK) and Cunard.
Bill Burke, chief maritime officer for Carnival Corporation, said: “The Service Power program closely aligns with our long-term sustainability and decarbonisation goals and our highest responsibility and top priority, which is compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of our guests, the people in the communities we visit and our shipboard and shoreside personnel.
“Based on our improved fleet composition, including adding six industry-leading liquified natural gas (LNG)-powered ships, and our previous investments to increase efficiency and reduce emissions, our absolute carbon emissions peaked in 2011 despite significant capacity growth over the past decade.
“These tailored service power packages further build on those efforts as part of our comprehensive approach to sustainability.”

Your HVAC system uses a lot of energy. That is why if your unit is not as efficient as it should be, then you could end up spending a lot of money. Fortunately, there are things that you can do in order to make your HVAC system more efficient.
Change Your Filter on a Regular Basis
Most air filters need to be changed every one to three months. Your filter traps dirt, dust and pollen. If your filter is not changed, then those particles will be circulated throughout the air. A dirty filter can also reduce the efficiency of your unit.
Get Annual Maintenance
Many people believe that they do not need the assistance of a professional if there is nothing wrong with their unit. However, it is important to get professional maintenance at least once a year. This will make your unit more efficient. It will also help your HVAC system last a lot longer.
Do Not Close the Vent
Many people think that if they close the vents in the rooms they are not using, then they will be able to save energy. However, this can cause your HVAC system to work harder. If you want to select which areas of your home, then you will need to talk to a HVAC expert. They can create zones in your home.
Clean off Your Unit
Leaves and tree limbs can obstruct airflow. This can put a strain on your HVAC system by causing it to work harder. You will need to clean your outside unit off on a regular basis.
Upgrade Your HVAC System
Air conditioners are designed to last 8 to 10 years. If your HVAC system is nearing the 8-year-mark, then it is time for you to upgrade to one that is more energy-efficient. New HVAC systems are designed to do the same amount of work and use less energy. New HVAC systems are also better for the environment. Furthermore, a new HVAC system will last longer.
These tips should all help homeowners get the most out of their HVAC systems. Many of them apply to commercial and industrial HVAC as well. If you are looking to maximize the lifespan of your industrial HVAC system though you should probably work with a professional like ACSIS Air conditioning Warehouse or someone similar to ensure that your needs are met. Whatever your situation, remember that doing a little bit of maintenance every week goes a long way.


The Aulick family purchased the Bullet™ enterprise from Beall Corporation in January of 2013. To insure the same quality and designs that have been developed over the last 40 years, the newly formed company of Bullet™ Trailer by ShirAul, LLC. retained the entire Sunnyside factory work force along with the employment of the administrative staff, all comprised of longtime Beall employees.
In the mid 70’s, an era when only steel bottom dump trailers were prominent, the Bullet™ design was an extremely advanced concept for the day. Touted as a “Monocoque Design” (an Aircraft design term) the trailer was and still is truly a futuristic approach to trailer design. The concept offers much efficiency to the mode of hauling many bulk commodities. It’s light weight durable design brings greater payloads with lower maintenance costs. The body of the trailer resembles an air wing design in which the body panels become the primary structure of the trailer while the internal supports and braces work in unison with the function of the trailer to maintain its integrity. The roll formed, smooth side wall design not only delivers a second to none look, but it also brings you the benefit of fuel efficiency due to less wind drag when compared to trailers with external support ribs and members.
The curved upper hopper side wall design allows the product to unload from the center without abrading the side sheets thus reducing maintenance and prolonging the life of the trailer. The completely enclosed front and rear voids house all air and electrical systems and their components. With the exception of the gate cylinders and the air brake chambers, these components are housed out of harm’s way, reducing maintenance costs and preventing costly downtime. Resale value of the Bullet™ trailer in the secondary market typically is higher than what you would expect. Users want them no matter what the age. Since they are seldom available because of their long life cycle, their market value stays high. We look forward to working with you to build the Bullet™ trailer that best meets your needs while reinforcing your bottom line.
History of “The Bullet”
The Bullet™ aluminum bottom dump was designed by a group of aluminum tank trailer craftsmen in Billings, Montana at a small company called Billings Tank in the mid-1970s. Beall Corporation purchased Billings Tank in the late ‘70’s and began developing a market for the Bullet™ trailer concept first in the Coal industry. Throughout the ‘80’s the Bullet™ trailer became prominent in the Colorado, Montana, Utah and Wyoming coal markets. In the mid ‘80’s the Bullet design was further developed for use in the sand and gravel industry. The low side-height design proved to be a strong trailer that out performed most steel bottom dumps and became known at that time as “The Bullet” not only because of its general appearance but also because it was known to be “Bullet Proof” in its working environment. Continuous production of the Bullet trailers throughout the next 30 years allowed the design to improve, with numerous models for a wide array of applications. The Bullet™ trailer design now serves a multitude of industries ranging from Aggregates, Coal, Fertilizer, Fly Ash, Limestone, Mill Tailings, Mining Ore, Petroleum Coke, Salt, Sand, Sugar Beets, and more. Today many of the original trailers are still in operation daily, providing the same service they did when originally built.
The Aulick family purchased the Bullet™ enterprise from Beall Corporation in January of 2013. To insure the same quality and designs that have been developed over the last 40 years, the newly formed company of Bullet™ Trailer by ShirAul, LLC. retained the entire Sunnyside factory work force along with the employment of the administrative staff, all comprised of longtime Beall employees. The combined years of service with all of the employees totals over 200 years of Bullet™ trailer experience. ShirAul also acquired the registered trademark (# 1,622,364) for the Bullet™ design and will offer the complete model line to all of the industries who have previously utilized them.

The shift to universal digitalization and automation of production paves the way to the qualitative leap referred to as the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0.
The key technologies of Industry 4.0 include the Industrial Internet of Things, total digitalization and Additive Manufacturing (AM) . In relation to the engine manufacturing industry, AM is capable of replacing a number of traditional manufacturing processes in the long run, but in today’s engines we only see a limited share of AM parts.
In this paper we aim to define the direction of design and process adaptation of parts, units and assemblies that comprise gas turbine engines and gas turbine power plants.
The object of this study is a turbine wheel of a small turboshaft engine with a wheel diameter of 113 mm. The turbine is tested in a small turboshaft engine, as a part of its rotor that rotates at a rate up to 90,000 rpm, which dictates the need for the precise manufacturing of the said part .
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a very promising technique for manufacturing turbomachine turbine wheels, as it has a number of advantages that the traditional subtractive technologies lack.
The advantages of SLM relevant to manufacturing turbine wheels include :
• The ability to produce external surfaces of parts with highly complex geometry;
• The ability to construct internal cavities and passages;
• The ability to construct internal lattice structures;
• No need for extra equipment and cutting tools that are crucial to produce objects with similar structure using the traditional manufacturing techniques;
• Efficient use of the materials (up to 95%);
• No need to create program instructions for CNC machine.
At the same time, when using SLM to manufacture turbomachine turbine wheels, it is important to keep in mind a number of issues that appear in connection with the features of the technology:
• The necessity of using supporting structures;
• High internal residual stress that may lead to warpage and deformation of parts on the build platform;
• The design of internal cavities or structures should provide the ability to remove residual powder materials;
• It often happens that surface roughness of parts produced by SLM is unsatisfactory for the conditions of the working mass flow.
II. Basic SLM Principles
To deliver power to metal powders it is necessary to focus the laser beam in a spot of minimal diameter, which will align the focal plane of the optical system of the SLM machine and the plane of the build platform. When this condition is met, it creates the necessary surface power density to fuse the powder material. We distinguish several core processes that occur on the heated bed when a laser beam scans a layer of powder material deposited on the substrate. Absorption of laser radiation energy by the powder material, which forms a molten pool, is followed by transfer of the quantity of heat into the mass of the substrate, transfer of the quantity of heat into the powder material, as well as a loss of the quantity of heat through radiation and convection. Simultaneously to the mentioned processes the alloyed material on the heated bed experiences mass loss due to evaporation . The laser beam moves according to the target trajectory, which is predetermined by the choice of scanning strategy and the geometry of the object in production.
Overall, the trajectory and scanning speed determine the evolution of the molten pool on the surface of the layer, along with a partial overlapping of adjacent tracks with subsequent partial remelting, as well as fusion the material into the substrate.
The depth of the fusion determines the degree of track adhesion, which in turn affects the strength and porosity properties of the material. The geometric properties of the track are determined by the energy supply  per unit of powder materials:
Where E is the power density [J/mm3];
P is laser power, W;
V is laser speed, mm/s;
h is layer thickness, mm;
d is the diameter of laser spot, mm.
The level of energy density ranges from the lower bound of the powder material melting completely and upper bound, when the melt starts to flow over the surface of substrate. Keeping that range in mind, the values of the parameters mentioned above are selected by trial and error until the track forms a stable shape, that is to say, it does not flow over the surface of substrate and goes at a fixed height.
The producing of a molten pool that is followed by its rapid cooling causes internal stresses to build up in the material. Internal stresses can occur through a variety of mechanisms that include uneven heating and cooling of the layer of exposed material, shrinkage and structural deformation of the material, and overall are to a different extent characteristic of all the available metal powders.
Generally, internal stresses are the main reason why deformations occur and the parts get ripped from the build platform.
III. Design and Process Preparation of a Part to be Manufactured by Means of SLM
When manufacturing turbomachine wheels it is important to ensure that the geometry of the produced item is fully equivalent to the original model, which can only be achieved if there are no residual internal stresses. It is possible to relieve residual stresses by heating the part in inert atmosphere before removing it from the build platform.
Thus, the design and process task of preparing the model for manufacturing by SLM consists in rational combining of the following factors:
• The design of the product should support uniform distribution of areas with fused surfaces along the height of the model;
• Part orientation should be chosen in such a way as to require minimum support structures;
• The arrangement of supporting structures should draw heat away from the melt zone to the substrate (build platform);
• The model should have escape holes that allow removing powder from the internal cavities of the product during post-production;
• The model should have structural elements that ensure that thin-walled elements remain rigid during manufacturing.
Further, we comment on the adaptation of the axial turbine runner of a small turbojet engine for manufacturing by SLM.
The axial turbine of a small turbojet engine that we analyze (Figure 1) is a blisk consisting of a massive disk and thin-walled blades attached to its outer surface. Such design of a turbine disk is typical for most variations of small turboshaft engines, due to the fact that this component is compact and for economic reasons it is impractical to produce a turbine disk with removable blades. It is traditionally designed to be manufactured by casting [7, 14, 15], however, when the objective is to produce a construction of long and thin sharp-edged blades, the application of this technology is limited, since it is impossible to adequately fill thin channels with molten metal.
Figure 1. Axial turbine model.
Computational modeling of AM process  shows that when the object is being printed the temperature gradient changes in radial direction; the temperature in the center of the disk is at its maximum and cools down as it approaches its periphery.
Such temperature distribution is typical to all disk-shaped bodies manufactured through SLM, but in this case the temperature difference between the center and the periphery is more pronounced owing to the thin-walled elements of the part with extended surface (blades) that operate as heat transfer surfaces. Manufacturing a product like this without adapting it to the specifics of AM would result in accumulating periphery stresses and inevitably leads to deformations and ripping from the support structures on the periphery of the disk (Figure 2). In this example we have a turbine disk made of a heat-resistant nickel alloy, and it is shown in Figure 2, the blades of turbine are deformed, making it impossible to use.
Figure 2. Turbine wheel building defects.
One way to solve the problem of high levels of residual stress is to design a turbine wheel with reduced span of fused areas. In this case, we optimize the traditional wheel design (Figure 3) by adding a hollow section to it (Figure 4), which results in reduction of the cross-sectional area of the disk (Figure 7). This design solution allows reducing the temperature difference between the center of the wheel and its periphery through reducing specific energy supply.
Figure 3. Traditional wheel design.
Figure 4. Wheel with a hollow section.
However, this design solution requires introducing additional structural elements to the blisk design, namely, adding internal stiffeners. Stiffeners are directed in radial direction from the bushing to the periphery of the wheel to reinforce the structure, and also serve as elements that conduct heat from the upper edge of the wheel to the construction platform.
Figure 5. The distribution of the cross-sectional area of the turbine wheels by height.
IV. Arrangements for Withdrawing Heat from the Build Platform
The standard support structures are comprised of thin-walled cubic elements with a square side of 1–1.5 mm ,. During the process of printing an object, these elements are filled with powder material and their overall thermal conductivity is substantially lower than the thermal conductivity of solid supports. Such supports often do not adequately transfer heat from the melt zone to the substrate (build platform).
Figure 6. Standard support structures, ‘block’ type.
Excessive heat in the build platform leads to local overheating, deformation and warpage of the part.
Adequate heat transfer that does not increase the temperature gradient can be achieved by integrating solid supporting structures into the design of the product. Thus, in manufacturing a turbine blisk it is reasonable to combine such supporting structures as seen on Figure 7 with standard supporting structures, such as ‘block’.
Figure 7. Solid support structures.
Figure 8. Using holes in solid supports.
The solid supports that we are talking about are made in the form of thin concentric rings 0.15 to 0.3 mm thin. Increasing ring thickness over that limit is undesirable, as it also increases the complexity of post processing the part. Such placement of rings makes it possible to remove them through benchwork.
The number of such solid supports is not regulated; however, their placement in areas adjacent to the more massive elements should result in a higher quality result.
In order to reduce the consumption of powder and prevent it from sintering during heat treatment, we made tear-drop holes (angle max 60°) on the lateral surface of the rings. Use of this form (Figure 9) does not need support structures [] in this cross-section and leaves escape holes for metal powders.
Figure 9. Tear-drop hole.
V. Construction Elements that Help to Remove Powder Materials
It is unacceptable to leave unmelted powder in the cavities of the turbine blisk, as products of this class operate as part of a rotor that rotates at high angular speed. Therefore such products are to be balanced, which is impossible if there is any moving mass in the internal cavities of the product. To be able to completely remove the residue of loose powder, it is necessary to consider a number of construction elements that would not affect the strength and operating characteristics of the product.
Figure 10. Holes in the bushing and the top part of the wheel.
The position of the holes in the center and on the periphery of the wheel makes it possible to remove the metal powders completely; if necessary such holes can be plugged to exclude any effect on the aerodynamic properties of the wheel.
VI. The Rigidity of Thin-Walled Elements
The contacting parts of turbomachine wheels must meet criteria of preciseness of manufacture, roughness of the surface and tolerance of shape deviations [,].
It often happens that in the process of manufacturing the turbomachine wheels by SLM, developers take into account possible deformations of the main body of the product, but neglect the deformations of thin-walled elements (blades), which can lead to their deformation. In the mentioned example (Figure 2), the accumulation of internal stresses ripped support structures from the build platform, which subsequently deformed the blades. When the work of turbine wheel is affected by centrifugal and thermal load , residual internal stress can lead to off-nominal deformations and, ultimately, to an emergency. An increase in the number of support structures is a reasonable step when facing such risks.
However, extra support structures become impractical at the stage of post processing, as they ask for more labor input and ultimately require that the blade surfaces are finished by a CNC machine.
This problem can be solved by adding a thin-walled cylindrical shell on the periphery of the produced turbine wheel (Figure 11).
Figure 11. Turbine wheel with a thin-walled shell.
The shell is 0.25 mm thick, with a gap of 0.15 mm between its inner wall and the blades. The shell connects to the blades with a series of contact elements
Figure 12. The connection of a blade with the shell.
The shell serves as a construction element and is to be removed after heat treatment.
This solution serves to intensify the process of heat transfer from the melt zone and eliminates the possibility of deformation of the blades.
In this work we successfully confirmed the effectiveness of our design solutions by adapting a turbine wheel for SLM manufacturing and producing it. The blisk is made of heat resistant nickel alloy ПР-O8ХН5ЗБМТЮ, equivalent to Inconel 718. The alloy is widely used in aerospace, nuclear and other industries due to its stable mechanic properties at high temperatures [17–20].
Key process parameters:
• SLM setup: Concept Laser M2 Cusing;
• Max laser power, W: 400;
• Layer height, µm: 25;
• Build plate temperature, °C: 200;
• Scanning strategy: skin-core
The key process parameters of the machine correspond to those used to manufacture the part from Figure 2.
Support structures of ‘block’ type, 1.5 × 1.5 mm, allow reducing labor input to remove them and cut down the number of post processing operations.
Figure 13. Turbine wheel on the build plate.
Figure 14. The produced turbine wheel.
This resulted in creation of a turbine wheel with the given properties (Figure 14). After we removed the remaining metal powder and heat treated the wheel, its geometrical properties did not change, no warpage or deformation appeared. The product was ready to be tested as a part of the turbojet.
Design for manufacturing and assembly cycle included following operations:
• Aerodynamic calculation of the turbine performance and receiving the geometric properties of the wheelspace;
• Structural analysis;
• Adapting the model to AM;
• Creating program instructions for AM machine;
• Printing the turbine wheel;
• Heat treatment;
• Removing the print from the plate and removing supports;
• Post-processing the wheel.
The suggested ways of design and process adaptation of turbine wheels of small turbojet engines can be applied to designing a wide range of products with different application and adapting them to AM. The design and process solutions were verified by producing a number of parts with zero defects.
In the course of this research we did the following:
1) Analyzed the basic principles of SLM and identified the main factors that affect the quality of the product;
2) Determined the primary ways in which to prepare a turbine wheel for AM;
3) Analyzed the causes of defects that occur when manufacturing similar turbine wheels;
4) Based on calculated data and data found by experiment, developed a process that reduces the span of fused surfaces, found a way to intensify heat transfer from the melt zone, described the major technological means to remove powder residue from the internal cavities of the wheel. Additionally, we solved the problem of reinforcing the thin-walled elements of the turbine wheel.
The suggested ways of designing and adapting turbine wheels of small turbojet engines were experimentally verified, and the produced parts are currently tested as a part of small turboshaft engine units.

History and evolution of the model
Presented at the Turin Motor Show in the autumn of 1960, the Lancia Flavia sedan completes the Lancia range between the small Appia (1100 cm3) and the large Flaminia (6 cylinders, 2.5 litres). The numerous innovations that accompany the presentation of the model are due to the engineer Antonio Fessia, technical director of the brand since 1955; the Flavia allows him to implement his design of the automobile. An Italian apostle of the front-wheel drive since its 1947 Cemsa-Caproni prototype, the Flavia is not only a front-wheel drive, but its cantilevered engine is unprecedented: It’s a four-cylinder flat all light alloy and liquid-cooled. The braking, with four assisted discs with double circuit, is also very efficient. In the spring of 1962, the Pininfarina 2+2 coupé was added to the sedan in a very square style. The typical front of the sedan, with its pro
minent grille and double headlights is taken back with some alterations, while the treatment of the rear part reminds strongly of that of the Ferrari 250 GTE (of the same bodybuilder), with the exception of optical blocks that are horizontal on the Lancia. The Flavia coupé thus wins its name of «Ferrari of the poor», nickname more rewarding than really pejorative.
The coupe is first launched with a 1500 cm3 engine powered by two Solex carburetors (90 hp). This Solex installation proved difficult to fix and was quickly abandoned in 1963. As of this year, the engine has increased its displacement to 1800 cm3. The maximum power (92 hp), torque and flexibility are thus improved. The change of engine is accompanied by the introduction of a new dashboard with round dials on a wooden background, in place of the ribbon tachometer of the previous model. An indirect Kugelfischer injection will also be proposed from 1965 (102 hp), it will allow a significant drop in petrol consumption. The Pininfarina Coupe will be produced until 1969 before being replaced by the Flavia 2000 with a rejuvenated bodyshell. A convertible has also been marketed with a Vignale bodyshell designed by Michelotti as well as a Sport Zagato coupe with the least confusing lines. Let us also note that the modern technical design of the Lancia will also shine in competition, so the Flavia coupe will won the Rallye des Fleurs (ancestor of the Rally de San Remo) in 1963, the Alpine criterium and the Rallye de Lorraine in 1964. Second place at the Monte Carlo Rally 1966 is also a remarkable feat.
The history of our Lancia Flavia Coupé
Our Lancia Flavia Coupé came out of the Lancia factories in 1966 and is equipped with the 1.8 liters carburettor. It spent the first part of its life in its home country before arriving in France in the 1980s. Its original color was brown but its previous owner decided to paint it in a «Rosso Ferrari» which better highlights the lines of the bodyshell and blends beautifully with the rare yellow optics.

Suction-based end effectors are widely used in industry and are often preferred over parallel-jaw and multifinger grippers due to their ability to lift objects with a single point of contact. This ability simplifies planning, and hand- coded heuristics such as targeting planar surfaces are often used to select suction grasps based on point cloud data. In this paper, we propose a compliant suction contact model that computes the quality of the seal between the suction cup and target object and determines whether or not the suction grasp can resist an external wrench (e.g. gravity) on the object. To evaluate a grasp, we measure robustness to perturbations in end-effector and object pose, material properties, and external wrenches. We use this model to generate Dex-Net 3.0, a dataset of 2.8 million point clouds, suction grasps, and grasp robustness labels computed with 1,500 3D object models and we train a Grasp Quality Convolutional Neural Network (GQ-CNN) on this dataset to classify suction grasp robustness from point clouds. We evaluate the resulting system in 375 physical trials on an ABB YuMi fitted with a pneumatic suction gripper. When the object shape, pose, and mass properties are known, the model achieves 99% precision on a dataset of objects with Adversarial geometry such as sharply curved surfaces. Furthermore, a GQ-CNN-based policy trained on Dex-Net 3.0 achieves 99% and 97% precision respectively on a dataset of Basic and Typical objects.

Backed by its extensive industry experience and an international network, ACTIA supports its customers across all phases of a vehicle’s lifecycle, from the design stage all the way to the end of its service life.
Thinking ahead of tomorrow’s increasingly restrictive standards, particularly where safety and emission control are concerned, ACTIA makes electronics a powerful asset to reduce the cost of designing and operating vehicles and to increase their service rate.
For the past 25 years, the group has demonstrated its expertise in automotive, industrial and commercial vehicles industry and has established itself as a major force in the multiplexed architecture field. Far more than a product supplier, ACTIA works as a partner with its customers to develop high added-value systems.
Supporting the Arrival of the Emission Control Standards
In every sector, the upcoming emission control standards will deeply impact vehicle design and significantly increase the role played by electronics. The TIER 4 standard defines the maximum emission threshold for off-highway vehicles. Manufacturers must consider this constraint into vehicle design.
Interface solution for TIER 4 engines
Through its multiple CAN interfaces, the SPU product range provides a gateway between the CAN J1939 engine management network and user interface systems (clusters, display, etc…). This solution provides the means to define optimized electric architecture for TIER4 / Stage IIIB and also provides interface solutions between TIER4 engines and existing electric architectures.
ACTIA, the Bus-CAN J1939 solution specialist
For more than 25 years, ACTIA has developed specific know-how in multiplexed electronic architecture, an area in which our group is a true pioneer. Controlling these architectures to guarantee trouble-free vehicle operation requires a communications gateway to the vehicle’s CAN networks. ACTIA delivers a range of on-board or off-board CAN communication interfaces supporting different protocols plus software to retrieve vehicle data. This expertise is the core of the emission control system. In the passenger cars industry, ACTIA was the first equipment manufacturer to deliver vehicle communication interfaces that meet the SAE J2534 (Pass-Thru) standard for downloading data from emission control ECUs.
Boosting Vehicle Service Rates
Vehicle maintenance is necessary to guarantee optimum service rates. The increasing complexity of automotive electric and electronic systems now means that powerful tools must be used to perform vehicle diagnostics.
In 1985, ACTIA invented the first diagnostics tool and the group has since become the diagnostics partner to the big names in automotive, industrial and commercial vehicle industry. Backed by its extensive experience, ACTIA has developed solutions dedicated to serving the off-highway market.
ACTI-DIAG: the global end-of-line and roadside diagnostics solution
This solution package includes hardware, software and services. Diagnostics constraints are factored into machine design so that optimized maintenance solutions can be implemented from the production phase to vehicle maintenance roadside repair operations.
ACTI-DIAG is an innovative, scalable solution supporting standard industry protocols. Our diagnostics solutions can be delivered ready-to-go or developed by our customers using our authoring tool.
ACTI-DIAG lets you display information stored in ECU memory about preventive and corrective maintenance on your vehicle.
End-of-line solution for manufacturing factories:

After-sales diagnostics solution:
Our ruggedized PCs range responds to off-highway environment constraints and are equipped with the right communications interfaces, software suites and databases.
With ACTI-DIAG, after-sales technicians carry out ECU reprogramming and updating tasks in addition to troubleshooting and corrective action easily and independently.
Connected Vehicles, All the Time
Managing a fleet involves a lot of work for technicians including maintenance tasks, updating software at vehicle location…
To decrease maintenance activities on the machine in the field, ACTIA has developed a multi-function telematics platform to connect vehicles to a control center across existing communication networks.
This on-board TGU platform, compatible with the requirements of the off-highway market environment, supports vehicle connectivity and fleet management. The TGU features a GPS receiver and mobile communications (GPRS, UMTS) and can be connected to the vehicle CAN or Ethernet network to communicate with on-board ECUs and transmit information remotely.
ACTIA provides a back-office service package called ACTIA Fleet that processes all vehicle data remotely in real-time. The applications for this services are numerous:
- Vehicle tracking,
- Remote technical data exchange during preventive and corrective maintenance for remote vehicle diagnostics, in addition to the traditional diagnostics solution,
- Remote downloading for updating software via a secure VPN channel,
- Monitoring driver and fuel consumption data providing economy opportunities using an ECO-Drive feature,
- Downloading safety data stored in ECU memory in the event of an incident, etc…
These applications are accessible by users via a secure logon procedure across a standard internet connection anywhere in the world.
Controlling the supply chain and obsolescence
Products and systems delivered by the ACTIA group are designed in the group’s own engineering offices. They are manufactured, assembled and integrated in our production sites sized to short, medium and high volumes in full compliance with the quality standards prevailing in the automobile and aeronautics sectors. In this way, we stay in full control over the industrial and supply chain for all our products.
Over the past years, we have seen the product lifecycle becoming significantly shorter. Controlling the supply chain therefore means carefully monitoring obsolescence in products and electronic components so as to be able to guarantee the availability of components throughout the life of the vehicle.
Maintenance in Operational Conditions
In 2001, ACTIA created a department dedicated to dynamic obsolescence management to guarantee the maintenance in operational conditions and life duration extension for ACTIA group electronic systems, control / command systems, telecom systems – boards and components, and also for In-service Support to our customers in nuclear industry, power plant, aeronautics and military applications.
This know-how harnesses five skills centers providing support in obsolescence prevention or end-of-life product management.
- Expertise / Consulting
- Database and obsolescence management tools
- Component purchasing / long-term storage
- Component management
- Engineering / Production / Maintenance for replacement solutions


EcoEléctrica officials say facility is model for future power generation
PEÑUELAS, Puerto Rico—The island's first private powerplant continues to be its cleanest and most efficient, and after a dozen years in service remains a model for the island's future power generation, EcoEléctrica officials say.
The natural gas plant produces 16% of all power generated on the island, most of it at a cost of 5¢ per kilowatt hour, about one-fourth what it costs the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (Prepa) to produce power at its plants running on bunker 6 fuel. Yet it is the cleanliness of the plant, which emits 30% less pollution than Prepa's oil-fired plants, that is perhaps most striking to first-time visitors.
"We are the environmentally cleanest powerplant and have the best heat rate of any facility on the island," said Carlos Reyes, EcoEléctrica general manager of operations.
"The reliability of this powerplant is well above the island average and is one of the best in the industry," he added.
The plant began operations in March 2000 and has a 22-year contract to deliver energy to its sole customer, Prepa. EcoEléctrica is a stand-alone company owned by Gas Natural Fenosa of Spain, with a nearly 50% stake; International Power (GDF Suez Group) of Belgium, a 35% stake; and Japan's Mitusi, a 15% stake.
Its main line of business is the energy produced for Prepa through its 540-megawatt combined-cycle powerplant, but it also operates a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import facility, one of only 10 operating in the U.S., as well as a desalination plant producing two million gallons daily of potable water from the ocean.
There is still a dozen years left on its Prepa contract, which covers its entire power-generation capacity, but officials say the company will likely look to extend it and pursue other power-generation opportunities that arise.
"We are confident that if the right business opportunity surfaces, our partners will go after it," said Jaime Sanabria, EcoEléctrica general manager of finance & administration.
"EcoEléctrica, during its 12 years of operation, has been very reliable and very consistent, not only for the Prepa part of the equation but for the investors and the lenders, and that credibility we built up is important. So if EcoEléctrica decides to build another facility, it will be an attractive project because of the demonstrated performance of our operation and delivery," he added.
EFFICIENCY BEYOND NATURAL GAS
Much of EcoEléctrica's success stems from its use of natural gas for power generation, which has always been cheaper and cleaner than oil, but has become even more attractive since the plant commenced operations in 2000. A rise in new drilling techniques has helped untap enormous new natural gas reserves in the U.S., driving down and stabilizing prices even further.
Beyond natural gas, however, EcoEléctrica can serve as a model for future powerplants in numerous other ways.
In its contract with Prepa, EcoEléctrica has pledged to be reliable and efficient, guaranteeing 93% availability and a 45% thermal-efficiency rating. The plant is connected to Prepa more than 90% of the time, and it produces power at an average 80% of its capacity.
Prepa basically orders the amount of power it needs from the plant on a daily basis, and it is automatically produced without the need for operator intervention, according to Sanabria.
"We have to maintain really good standards on operations and maintenance through our contract. We have to be reliable and efficient, and if we don't comply, we are penalized through our payments," Reyes said.
The plant's combined-cycle technology also adds to its cost and environmental efficiency as it allows it to use one-third less fuel to produce power, which also works to hold down costs and emissions. The plant also provides additional antipollution controls and processes that further decrease emissions.
The plant's workforce totals 78, with 70 employees in operations and maintenance and 36 technicians who are members of the United Steelworkers union.
This is another key performance indicator for a powerplant, in which EcoEléctrica shines; a Prepa powerplant of similar size would have more than 200 employees, more than double what it takes the private plant to run.
The heavily regulated facility, which is overseen by nearly a dozen federal and local agencies, has also built up a sound safety record during its 12 years in service, with the LNG terminal having a perfect safety record and the powerplant without lost-time accidents over the past eight years.
The facility has an emergency response memorandum of understanding with local agencies, including the Fire and Police departments and other first responders.
The plant can burn natural gas, propane or diesel without affecting service to Prepa, but this additional capability is really for use in emergencies. Since commercial operations began, the plant has used natural gas 99% of the time, largely switching to alternate fuels only for annual tests.
EcoEléctrica doesn't just pollute less than Prepa powerplants, its environmental commitment also embraces protection of endangered species and fragile marine habitat as well as the south-coast's precious water resources.
The seawater desalination facility was part of the original design so the plant wouldn't deplete the fresh drinking water from the south-coast aquifer. Half the water it produces is used for internal consumption, and the other half is sent to the Costa Sur plant and neighboring communities for their use.
"Water is scarce in the south, so we had that in our original design so we don't impact the environment. The steam to evaporate the water is the costly part of the desalination process, but we have the steam for free from the exhaust of the gas turbines," Reyes explained.
EcoEléctrica also operates under a no-discharge permit, meaning it can't release any water from its facilities, and a retaining pond was constructed to capture storm-water runoff so it doesn't drain into the ocean, affecting coral and other marine habitat.
The LNG terminal's design, which extends from the coast along a narrow bridge, is also aimed at reducing the impact on coral reef and sea grass near the coast.
"From the onset of EcoEléctrica, we have worked very hard to assure the environment is not impacted in a negative way," Sanabria said.
The manatee, which lives off the coast where the plant is located, has been adopted by the plant as its symbol, but there are also sea turtles and other marine life that the plant has been careful about disturbing.
While permitting required five years of marine life studies, EcoEléctrica has continued funding them and providing "valuable information on coral and marine life" to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Students from the University of Puerto Rico's Mayagüez campus participate in the studies, which are overseen by EcoEléctrica Environmental Compliance Officer Damaris Negrón.
Many of these studies chart the return of marine life to the facilities and surrounding waters since the commencement of operations, and when LNG deliveries are made, harbor pilots monitor for manatees and other endangered species.
The company also funded a U.S. Geological Service study tracking the migration of manatees, as well as the largest pool at the Manatee Hospital & Research Center in Bayamón, developed by Prof. Antonio Mignucci of the Caribbean Stranding Network.
A BOON TO THE COMMUNITY
Sanabria said EcoEléctrica's commitment to the communities of Peñuelas and Guayanilla, where it is located, is also strong. Ninety percent of its workforce hails from the southwest region, officials say.
While the company could have sought an exemption from the municipal tax, it decided to pay the tax for the good of the communities and entered a deal with Peñuelas Mayor Walter Torres, of the Popular Democratic Party, to share the revenue with neighboring Guayanilla.
"Just in taxes, we pay around $4 million, about 33% of their annual budget, to Peñuelas and a couple hundred thousand to Guayanilla. That is not counting the other support or job creation," Sanabria said.
EcoEléctrica also runs a scholarship program, granting $1,000 scholarships for the top-20 high-school graduates in each town to cover costs related to their first year of university studies, and also adopted an elementary school in the mountains of Peñuelas, paying for uniforms, books and other necessities each year.
The company also donated $80,000 to the Puerto Rico Conservation Trust to buy private land where an extensive cave system is located, with a long-range plan to develop the natural asset into a tourism attraction.
EcoEléctrica's community-outreach and environmental-stewardship programs haven't gone unnoticed. It has won awards from the EPA and the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association and, in 2006, the prestigious energy publication Platts honored it with its community program of the year honor.
A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY FOR PUERTO RICO
When the plant was first built, workers built a natural gas pipeline to the edge of the property to facilitate the use of natural gas in Prepa's neighboring Costa Sur plant.
"It was a business opportunity for Prepa," Sanabria said.
It's an opportunity Prepa has finally taken after a dozen-year wait. Until this spring, the LNG terminal was only used to supply EcoEléctrica's needs, but with the conversion of Costa Sur to natural gas, it will now supply Prepa as well.
That means annual shipments of LNG are doubling to 24 from 12, and natural gas-power generation is also doubling to 30% of total energy production from 15%.
Right now, the EcoEléctrica facility has the capacity to feed both powerplants, and enough spare natural gas to supply perhaps one more, but the plant was originally designed to have two huge natural gas-storage tanks, but only one has been built. Constructing the second tank would double its capacity.
Even though the Puerto Rico government has scuttled plans to pipe natural gas from the facility to north-coast powerplants through the Vía Verde project, a second tank could still be built and used for other purposes, company officials say.
Sanabria and Reyes said it would be a smart move for Puerto Rico to maximize the use of the LNG terminal, given the high cost of energy here and the promise U.S. natural gas holds for the island.
While natural gas could be barged out of the facility to Prepa, natural gas could also be used on the island for other purposes, such as transportation or to provide cheap, clean energy to industry.
"The use of the LNG terminal could be maximized for the benefit of Puerto Rico. You have the storage facility, the capacity to supply powerplants and many downstream businesses, and you have a proven workforce with more than 12 years' experience," Sanabria said. "With power costs escalating, it is an element that should be maximized."
