(EN) From size to automation in industrial control networks, virtual PLCs help overcome many of the limitations of conventional ones. These devices represent a further step forward in the industrial digitalization process, as they are software-based and do not require physical hardware.

(EN) The Minister of Business and Made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, announced during the Family Business Forum that the government aims to allocate at least 4 billion euros to the Transition 5.0 program, the evolution of the Transition 4.0 program.

(EN) In the era of Industry 4.0, the role of industrial robots, particularly Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMR), has significantly strengthened. These intelligent devices, capable of moving independently and performing various tasks normally assigned to a human operator, are revolutionizing the industrial world.

(EN) The synergy between the Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a highly relevant technological paradigm. The metaverse, a vast network of interconnected virtual worlds with real-time interactions, powered by technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR), AI, and blockchain, is having an increasingly significant impact in the industrial field as well.

(EN) With the blockchain, the industry is moving from the Internet of Things to the Internet of Value. In other words, from the exchange of information to the exchange of value. The IoT is based on integration with other technologies and thus allows the creation of an industrial ecosystem that can always be improved and adapted according to the context. Among these technologies we find the blockchain, thanks to which it is possible to switch to the IoV.

(EN) From 12 to 16 June 2023, ESA participated in GIFA, the reference fair for the foundry industry. For the occasion, we presented our finishing cell, a solution that guarantees total flexibility for the foundry.

(EN) Artificial Intelligence (AI) has undergone considerable evolution over the past decades, with significant advances in research and industrial applications. The heart of AI, and particularly Machine Learning, lies in the training of models, a process that imitates human learning to make predictions or decisions based on data.

(EN) The advent of the fourth industrial revolution transformed manufacturing processes through automation, the Internet of Things (IoT) and data exchange. Industry 5.0 takes another step forward in this evolution through greater man-machine integration.

(EN) The fair for industrial automation and digital, held in Parma from 23 to 25 May 2023, concluded with excellent results. 38,713 visitors, 800 exhibitors and over 130 conferences, round tables and meetings organized in the five District 4.0 arenas.
