A project that makes you proud:

Without a doubt, the most important project for me is the implementation of our SILO system in the power plant in Rybnik.SILO is a research and development project in which we have devised a method for optimising the combustion process using the measurement of combustion temperature distribution in the power boiler.

What has the project changed? What influence has it had?

SILO results in higher boiler efficiency with lower coal consumption, lower production costs and reduction of harmful CO₂ and NOx emissions.

Where has the project been implemented?

The SILO optimizer has been implemented in 50 power units in power plants all over the world (for example in Poland, Romania and China). The SILO system has received numerous awards and has been distinguished as one of the most interesting projects technology-wise (Expo Exhibition, Kazakhstan).

My proudest achievement was the “Connected Worker” project for Vestas, the undisputed global leader in wind turbine production. The mere fact that we worked directly with the giant that supplies a total of 108 GW of green energy in 80 countries gave us the feeling that we were making our contribution to the wider use of renewable energy sources.

What has the project changed? What influence has it had?

I like to quote a customer who said:“For the first time, technology does not stand in the way”. We provided solutions for wearable devices RealWear HTM-1. One of them is voice control that allows both hands to be free to work. Another solution helps the employees to get the information immediately, so that they can perform their duties more effectively and safely, speed up training or share knowledge with each other and between Vestas factories around the world.

Where has the project been implemented?

Our solutions are already being used by factory workers in Denmark and the USA, and soon they will appear in Russia, China and India.

The project I come back to most often – when I think about the most difficult but also the most rewarding project I have realised in Transition Technologies–is Intelligent District Heating Network for Veolia Warszawa, the operator of the largest district heating network in the European Union (the network is 1,800 km long with 19,000 substations!).

What has the project changed? What influence has it had?

The use of machine learning algorithms has reduced CO₂by 16,500 t per year, reduce heat loss by 3% in summer and 5% in winter, and save EUR 1M per year.It would be difficult not to be proud of such results.

Where has the project been implemented?

We have implemented the project at the Veolia Energia Warszawa S.A. CH&P Plant.

A project that makes you proud:

I am most proud of the HIRS project: National Registry of Familial Hypercholesterolemia Patients, carried out for the Familial Hypercholesterolemia Clinic at the University Clinical Centre (UCC) in Gdańsk.

What has the project changed? What influence has it had?

For the first time, information is gathered on patients with hypercholesterolemia (FH). This disease, when untreated, leads to accelerated atherosclerosis,results in premature coronary artery disease and increases the risk of heart attack before the age of 50. The HIRS project had a significant impact both on the health care system and on a significant improvement in the quality of treatment of patients with suspected FH. Thanks to the cooperation between UCC and TT, a tool was built to help the Polish health care system begin to monitor patients with FH in the long term.

Where has the project been implemented?

We have implemented the project at UCC Gdańsk and currently it operates as the National Register.

When we started working on two Seeing Assistant applications more than 10 years ago, we didn’t suspect that their family would grow into a large group of assistants over the next few years.The Seeing Assistant applications are first and foremost an expression of the TT’s principle that we must be responsible for our business and share our competences with people in need as best we can.

What has the project changed? What influence has it had?

The Seeing Assistant family of mobile applications supports blind and visually impaired people in many activities, such as: orientation in space and navigation, shopping, managing many everyday objects, and reading texts. For years, we have been receiving a lot of acknowledgement and gratitude for this project.

Where has the project been implemented?

At the end of May 2020, the Seeing Assistant applications were downloaded by nearly 80,000 users from nearly 130 countries.
