ARAMIS coordinated Algo-Grid, developing a platform for smart grid O&M management based on advanced algorithms under the SME Phase 1 instrument.
ARAMIS SRL
Milan engineering SME developing smart grid algorithms and railway traction systems with SiC power electronics and reliability expertise.
Their core work
ARAMIS SRL is a Milan-based engineering SME that develops algorithmic software platforms for power grid operations and maintenance management, and contributes specialized technical expertise to railway traction electrification projects. Their work bridges the digital and physical layers of energy systems — from algorithm-driven grid optimization to power electronics, SiC semiconductors, and wireless charging. In the RECET4Rail project they applied reliability engineering and multidisciplinary optimization to advance cost-efficient, energy-saving traction systems for rail transport. Their project history spans from independent feasibility studies under the SME instrument to collaborative R&D within large multi-national consortia.
What they specialise in
As a participant in RECET4Rail (2020-2023), ARAMIS contributed to designing a reliable, cost-efficient traction system for railway using SiC semiconductors and wireless charging.
RECET4Rail lists reliability and robustness engineering and predictive maintenance as core technical keywords, areas in which ARAMIS played a contributing role.
RECET4Rail explicitly identifies SiC semiconductors and wireless charging as technical pillars, indicating ARAMIS's direct exposure to advanced power conversion technologies.
Additive manufacturing appears as a RECET4Rail keyword, suggesting ARAMIS engages with this technology in the context of railway component design and optimization.
How they've shifted over time
ARAMIS's earliest H2020 activity (2019) centered on software-driven smart grid management — an algorithmic platform for power grid operations and maintenance. By 2020 they had moved into railway traction, a harder-engineering domain involving SiC semiconductors, wireless charging, additive manufacturing, and formal reliability methods. The shift suggests a trajectory from algorithmic and platform work toward physically embedded systems where multidisciplinary optimization and robustness engineering are the core differentiators.
ARAMIS is moving deeper into energy-efficient transport electrification and hardware-adjacent reliability engineering, making them an increasingly relevant partner for rail modernization and industrial maintenance projects.
How they like to work
ARAMIS has experience on both sides of the consortium table — leading a small feasibility project (Algo-Grid, SME Phase 1) and joining a larger multi-year RIA as a technical partner (RECET4Rail). Their 14 unique partners across 8 countries from only two projects indicates they enter well-structured, multi-national consortia rather than bilateral arrangements. There is no pattern of repeat partnerships yet, which is expected given their limited project history to date.
ARAMIS has built a notably wide initial network of 14 unique partners across 8 countries from just two projects, suggesting they join large, internationally diverse consortia. No strong geographic concentration is detectable at this scale of data.
What sets them apart
ARAMIS occupies an uncommon niche as an Italian engineering SME that connects grid-level algorithmic optimization with railway traction electrification — two domains rarely combined in one small company. Their dual capability (software platform development plus power electronics awareness) makes them a flexible, fundable consortium partner able to fill multiple technical roles. The Milan base also gives them natural proximity to Italy's strong rail and industrial manufacturing ecosystem.
Highlights from their portfolio
- RECET4RailThe largest project by funding (EUR 210,875, 2020-2023 RIA), it demonstrates ARAMIS's ability to contribute to complex multi-disciplinary consortia combining SiC semiconductors, wireless charging, and additive manufacturing for next-generation railway traction.
- Algo-GridAs coordinator of this SME Phase 1 feasibility study on smart grid O&M algorithms, ARAMIS showed the capacity to originate and lead an EU project — not only contribute to others' visions.
