Innovation and Digital Transition in Biomass Management: The SuperUrbanity Project for Sorgenia Bioenergie
The goal of the project for Sorgenia Bioenergie is to identify, codify, optimize, and digitalize the biomass storage and internal handling processes at their facility in Finale Emilia. SuperUrbanity’s work focused on analyzing the existing processes and equipment in order to design a prototypical digital transition solution. This solution combines sensors, a management software for monitoring the performance of the entire biomass park, and a digital application for tracking movements by operators.
Prototypical Design for Dashboard and Mobile Application for Movement Tracking.
SuperUrbanity was involved in a crucial project for Sorgenia Bioenergie, aimed at optimizing the biomass storage and handling processes at their Finale Emilia plant. The primary objective was to enhance operational efficiency by making processes smoother, more monitorable, and digitalized, with the aspiration to support a transition to more modern and sustainable management practices.
The project began with a thorough analysis of the existing processes at the plant. SuperUrbanity studied the workflows, equipment used, and the logistical management of biomass, identifying areas for improvement in terms of efficiency, safety, and sustainability. During this phase, it became clear that digitalizing operations would bring significant advantages, not only for internal resource management but also for real-time performance monitoring, with the goal of ensuring maximum efficiency in resource use.
Following this analysis, SuperUrbanity’s team designed a prototypical digital transition solution, integrating an advanced sensor system that continuously monitors key parameters related to biomass storage and movement. This system was paired with a management software for monitoring the overall performance of the plant, allowing operators to maintain constant control over the efficiency of the entire biomass park. The mobile application, developed specifically for the project, enables operators to register and track all biomass movements, improving the management of daily operations and increasing process transparency.
The proposed solution allowed Sorgenia Bioenergie to implement a system that optimizes operational flows and collects real-time data, feeding detailed reporting useful for predictive maintenance and the timely identification of inefficiencies. The introduction of digitalization streamlined operational management, minimizing human error and improving traceability of movements—an essential aspect for ensuring maximum safety and compliance with environmental regulations.
The project demonstrated how digitalization can significantly improve operations, contributing not only to greater efficiency and transparency but also to cost reduction and resource optimization. The collaboration with SuperUrbanity enabled Sorgenia Bioenergie to take a step forward in adopting cutting-edge technologies, in line with its mission of sustainability and innovation in the renewable energy sector.
In conclusion, the project delivered by SuperUrbanity for Sorgenia Bioenergie aligns perfectly with the group’s digital transition and sustainability strategy, bringing tangible benefits in terms of operational efficiency, safety, and performance, and marking an important step toward a greener and smarter energy future.
