SUPPORTING THE TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION

Digital offers limitless power in this Industry 4.0 era Digital resources let us manufacture faster and with enhanced security. They can anticipate potential breakdowns, simulate a factory’s operation and management before it is built, and even virtually develop new materials. Our portfolio of solutions fulfill manufacturers’ need to adopt 3D printing technologies and the exponential demands of the electronics market.


1. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IMPROVES QUALITY

With AI, our cameras learn to recognize manufacturing defects on our products.

2. PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE

Extremely reliable tools anticipate the probability of failures in our manufacturing facilities.

3. LETTING THE DATA TALK

Analytical tools interpret millions of pieces of information generated by our production units in just a few clicks.

4. SMART CLOTHING

Smart work clothes mean our operators can work more safely at more ergonomic workstations.

5. VIRTUAL REALITY

Using 4D simulators, our operators can experience virtual plants to improve the design of production facilities before they are built.

6. SIMULATING PRODUCTION OPERATIONS

We can train our operators by simulating the operation of a plant before it even exists.

7. MODELING FUTURE MOLECULES

Our software can virtually design molecules and materials, letting us anticipate their properties.

8. SAFETY IN GAMING MODE

We train our operators on safe working methods using virtual reality systems.

9. TECH FOR INDUSTRY 4.0

All these digital manufacturing tools are brought together in an incubator showroom to encourage their adoption throughout the Group.

10. RETAIL ELECTRONICS

Our polymers and resins improve the performance and longevity of smartphones and tablets.

11. FUTURE ELECTRONICS

Our electroactive polymers will be used to design smart objects with incredible properties, such as articulated gloves for medicine, flexible screens and smart labels.

12. and 13. 3D PRINTING AND COMPOSITES

Our wide range of materials and resins for 3D printing, along with our targeted partnerships, help manufacturers adopt the revolutionary production method of 3D composite printing.
