MAC AND THE AZURE SPHERE PARTNER PROGRAM
On November 13th and 14th MAC participated to the “Azure Sphere Partner Program” organized in Frankfurt by Microsoft. During these two training days, Microsoft presented Azure Sphere, the project for the production of a new class of microcontrollers (MCU), certified and able to guarantee safe end-to-end communications for IoT applications. MAC was identified as one of the two leading Italian companies in electronic engineering (hardware and software), using avant-garde technologies and implementing IoT solutions. Through this meeting, Microsoft has laid the foundations to create the first selected, global community in possession of Azure Sphere’s skills and know how. Participants were able to discover the most recent class of microcontrollers, operative systems and cloud technologies which make Azure Sphere a reliable yet extremely avant-garde project.

CONFERENCE HUMAN EXPERIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
An in-depth analysis day, dedicated to new technologies supporting quality of life and the development of “well-being”. Luigi Mandolini, CEO MAC, illustrated MAC vision and the characteristics of the strengthen collaboration between MAC and University of Macerata. To follow, Dr. J. A. Paradiso, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) of Boston, showed an interesting research on “Responsive Environments”. Specifically, how humans will connect to their environments in the Post-App age. T-shirts, bracelets, shoes, watches are everyday life objects that will become more and more smart and “hidden” in next future. The conference continued with several research groups that illustrated similar interests, with the intent to create new business developments and collaboration’s projects.The conference has been the occasion to illustrate 2 projects that MAC manages, having an active role both in collaboration with other companies, and in realization of them.The first project is NUS-NILM (Non-Uniform Sampling – Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring) regarding the indicators of energy. The second project is SINC (System Improvement for Neonatal Care), an important research in collaboration with Ospedale Salesi of Ancona, that allowed the construction of smart cribs to monitor the vital parameters of preterm patients.

European Utility Week 2018
MAC is very pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming European Utility Week Trade show in Vienna from November 6th to 8th. EUW 2018 is in its sixth edition and represents the most important European event for the Utilities of gas, water and electric energy. EUW facilitates networking and content sharing opportunities across the entire energy spectrum from latest generation in energy to end the user. MAC will be present in the Italian Pavilion (stand A.k8), organized by ICE, the agency for the internationalization of Italian companies. The aim is to promote companies involved in the Smart Energy and Energy Awareness market. In fact, MAC will be presenting Chain2Gate, the innovative, intuitive device which communicates with the Open Meter 2.0 by e-distribuzione. Through Powerline Technology, the device acquires data directly from the Open Meter, enabling users to monitor, manage and plan energy consumption. Chain2Gate is compact, connected and yet compliant with the IoT ecosystem.

Innov-Aging
From June 21st– 23rd, 2018, the city of Ancona hosted “Innov-Aging”, the first Expo Meeting completely dedicated to Silver Market innovations, particularly focused on Economy & Finance, Health & Wellbeing, and Technology. The Silver Economy refers to economic activities dedicated to the needs of people over 50, which includes products, systems and services. Among the areas of Innov-Aging, MAC participated in the Laboratorio Abitare 4.0, dedicated to new digital technologies applied to the building and residential sector, an initiative organized by the Chamber of Commerce of Ancona and Fermo, as well as the Università Politecnica delle Marche. MAC’s ability to design, create and manage Smart Home systems, has allowed for the automatization, control and optimization of tasks in a domestic environment (like thermo-regulation, lighting scenarios, safety and entertainment), guaranteeing efficiency and reduction of costs. Furthermore, MAC’s commitment to research and development has resulted in promoting and improving the social, psychological and physical wellbeing of the Silver Generation.

CHAIN2GATE
We are living in the Era of Energy Awareness, regulated by the Italian Law L.D. n°102 of 2014, which refers to energy saving and efficiency. Consequently MAC has created Chain2Gate a user-friendly device which uses Powerline Communication to connect with the second generation Open Meter by e-distribuzione, a worldwide leader for the supply of energy. Thanks to Wi-Fi, data is available through APP, so the user can constantly monitor, manage and plan energy consumption throughout the day. The Chain2Gate interface is very intuitive: a visual LED indicator shows the status of consumption, equipped with an acoustic signal to warn the user in advance of any imminent interruption. Its activation is immediate: just connect the device to the socket, and Chain2Gate will be ready to use. Chain2Gate has passed the required integration test (becoming compliant with TS CEI 13-82, 13-83 and 13-84) and the residential test phase proving to be ready for the IoT ecosystem. Moreover, the device guarantees total security of the consumer’s privacy regarding the data transmission. MAC created Chain2Gate by focusing its attention on people’s desires and needs. The device is functional, intuitive and helps families to find immediate solutions for energy saving and energy awareness.

MAC at MIT
Technology and Wellbeing, MAC and the University of Macerata (UNIMC) present their research project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, MA. The project “Analysis of human behavior in everyday life contexts, to develop new technologies supporting quality of life and the development of “well-being”, was created by Luigi Mandolini (CEO of MAC) and has been under development for the past two and half years together with the University of Macerata, under its EUREKA program, co-funded by MAC. MAC and UNIMC have always shared an interest in the study of human behavior, particularly regarding the needs and desires of people. The study focuses on technology as an instrument to create wellbeing and comfort for the end users, in particular, users who are most vulnerable, for example non-self-sufficient elderly people. Imagining the end user as a sensor has been the principle guide of the project and the focus for the realization of smart objects. The goal of the project is to create systems able to provide personal comfort to people with different needs, including temperature, light, sound, etc. On March 8, 2018, Professor Paola Nicolini and PhD student Margherita Rampioni presented the project at the Media Lab of MIT, one of the most important, and esteemed Centers in the field of technological research. Dr. J. A. Paradiso, the director of the research group “Responsive Environments” welcomed our team, and has since outlined new meetings and potential future collaborations between MAC, UNIMC and MIT.
