Elaphe Wins the I4MS Disruptors Awards at the Digitising European Industry Stakeholder Forum 2019
BARCELONA, Spain, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
- The EU award recognizes the power of technological disruption, awarded by the European Commission initiative for digitising the EU manufacturing sector, I4MS
- The prize was delivered at the Digitising European Industry Stakeholder Forum 2019, in Madrid, on the 14th of November.
- I4MS Disruptors Award aims to illustrate SMEs' ability to innovate and implement ICT technologies, bring radical innovation to their sector and reach new markets.
- The Digitising European Industry Stakeholder event offered the competing SMEs the opportunity to connect with other members of the ecosystem, visibility in an international level and participation in joint projects.
Elaphe Propulsion Technologies is the winner of the 2019 Disruptors Award, delivered by the European Commission's Initiative ICT for Manufacturing SMEs (I4MS). The awarded company is a developer and producer of high-tech propulsion technology based on the premise of multiple-motor propulsion.
Elaphe benefited as an SME in faster processing with HPC-based simulation tools, as well as evaluating more complex coupled physical models, resulting in products with better NVH characteristics saving time and resources.
The winning experiment focused on acoustic evaluation of a motor concept in early phases of design. Reducing and modulating acoustic noise emissions of electric vehicles improves the soundscape, especially in the urban areas, so the experiment brings about very relevant solutions to market needs. This new methodology was implemented and evaluated on the next-generation prototypes of Elaphe passenger car in-wheel motors.
