Be safe, always

Senior S.r.l. is an innovative startup founded in 2016 with the main goal of creating high-tech products and services. Senior has distinguished itself in these last years for creating highly innovative products in the fi eld of sensor systems, implementing solutions that can be applied in different contexts. In addition, Senior takes care of inspections, controls and field installations by specialised personnel.

ELECTRONIC NOSE

Senior has developed an innovative electronic nose called MASTERSENSE. MASTERSENSE is able to detect different families of volatile compounds released by food through an array of four MOS (Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensors. The combination of the output values of the four sensors in the array determines which of the three classes of freshness the samples belongs to. The final objective is to classify meat and fish samples into three classes according to freshness: unspoiled, acceptable and spoiled.

Smart Sensors

Senior is currently developing systems for the alimentary sector, using portable devices equipped with biochemical sensors. These instruments are able to obtain information on the type and concentration of chemical compounds present in a given sample. Data collected by the various biochemical sensors are processed through the implementation of proprietary algorithms, using advanced methods such as Machine Learning and Deep Learning. Our algorithms enable the digitalization of the sense of smell though cloud platforms, apps, and software.

Monitoring

Senior has developed SafeWork, a service that helps to assess the state of safety in the workplace. The system makes it possible to: check whether safety regulations are being applied, report any non-compliance, raise awareness of the implementation of existing regulations, monitor companies' commitment to compliance. With a dedicated application, the auditor will carry out the check quickly, initially compiling the detection report, then the Risk Assessment report if non-conformities are found, and finally documenting everything by attaching photos.

ALICE CONSELMO

I'm Alice and I'm part of the Senior team as a project manager. After a university course dedicated to humanistic studies, I became passionate about project management and team management. So, I attended different training courses for this role and once I arrived in Senior, I was able to put my skills at the service of this company. Our team here is composed of people with expertise in different fields, ranging from IT to chemistry, from software development to mathematics. So, my job is to try to help them combine their different skills in order to create innovative products and I’m trying to make their job as easy as possible by solving any problems that may arise during the course of the projects. I’m also in charge of managing our Help Desk Team, and I deal with our customers’ requests directly, so I’m always ready to help them with any issue that they may have.

CHRISTIAN ALLEVI

Program Manager
I’m Christian Allevi, I’m an expert in database management in a Microsoft SQL environment, development of Windows and Web interfaces, and development of vehicle tracking applications. I have developed the applications AxLight, an advanced system for remote control and management of public and private lighting systems, AxGreen, a Fleet Management system, and programs for programming ZigBee and DALI lighting systems.

ALESSANDRA GIARDINIERI

I’m Alessandra and I’m part of Senior R&D team as a chemist. I have a degree in Chemistry and Advanced Chemical Methodologies, and I obtained a PhD in Agricultural, Food and Environmental Sciences. During my PhD, I researched bioactive compounds in raw and cooked food, comparing the cooking treatments. For that reason, I’ve developed a strong interest in food applications. Moreover, in the meta-analysis and processing of scientific data, I had the opportunity to use PCA and PLS-DA, fundamental tools for chemometric analysis in our electronic nose, Mastersense. I am currently studying in depth the research work carried out for the creation of the Mastersense prototype in order to find new solutions to optimize its functionality, in particular, I am studying how to extend its field of application in the food sector.

CECILIA MESSI

I’m Cecilia and I’m part of Senior R&D team as a biotechnologist. I have a biology background, as I hold a bachelor of science in biology and a master of science in industrial biotechnology. For this project, I had the task of researching and studying sensors, specifically MOS sensors, capable of detecting a certain family of chemical compounds, to use them in the Mastersense, our electronic nose. The working principle of this kind of sensors is based on the variation of conductivity due to chemical reactions between the sensitive layer of the sensor and gaseous molecules. They are electrochemical sensors, non-specific sensors and provide a short response time, are robust and durable, and have good resistance to corrosion and moisture. I have a strong bias towards solutions that are environmentally sustainable, which is why I am now researching new approaches and methods that will make our products match up better with the circular economy principles.

CATERINA ALESSANDRINI

I'm Caterina, I am part of the Senior R&D team as an algorithm developer. I have a mathematical background, with an orientation towards mathematics applied to engineering. In the company I mainly deal with the analysis and processing of data, and the study and implementation of machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Recently I am developing a cross interest in quantum machine learning. In particular, the study is currently aimed at supervised learning algorithms, such as k-NN, implemented in our electronic nose, Mastersense. The k-NN is one of the most used algorithms in classification problems, thanks to the meeting between ease of implementation and computational efficiency. This is why it is also an excellent basis from which to start for the enhancement of the algorithm in a quantum context.
