It is a ransom in the name of the 4.0 to which he stars mechanics Sacmi cooperative multinational. Closed a second consecutive record budget in 2015 to 1.35 billion in revenue – the Bolognese big specializing in ceramic machinery, packaging, food and automation prepares to fly himself this year for the third time. And between now and December is planning 60 million Euros in investments to expand and redevelop the headquarters of Imola in open innovation logic, within which is already leaving the Academy 4.0, a permanent structure for continuing education of employees, customers and suppliers.
store the last traces of the crisis and open the prospect of a gradual but solid growth driven by digitization and the international demand (exports exceed 85% of sales) Sacmi aims within a couple of years at the finish line and a half billion in revenue and does not accept lessons from the Germans when it comes to 4.0 Industry. “We work for 20 years on the supervisory systems of machines with sensors and online diagnostics, but no customers we asked them. Now that 4.0 is fashionable seem new, but it is not so, “says the general manager of Sacmi, Pietro Cassani.
Difficult to quantify because of the performance of 2015 and Sacmi future scenarios are related to interconnection and advanced lines of automation, “what is certain is that it was the approach 4.0 to allow the jump of the ceramic district of Sassuolo, our first target market, because digital printing technologies, which are one of the cornerstones of the recovery of made Italy tiles, require the total digitization of processes and the integration of all machines and applications in a single platform, “explains dg.
machines for continuous pressing – latest hi-tech success Bologna home – and in general, the capacities for the ceramic industry remains the horse to Sacmi battle, but “we are also investing heavily on beverage – adds Cassani – and a short ufficializzeremo big news for Cmh”. Ie Carle & amp; Montanari, the “factory of for Chocolate machines” was born in 2011 with great fanfare because joint venture between Sacmi and Ima group (the big cooperative and capitalist big Bolognese packaging), but since last December over 100% in the hands of Sacmi.
The Sassuolo ceramic district is the first customer of the coop Imola, but the horizon of the galaxy Sacmi – 80 companies, 27 manufacturing facilities and 4,200 employees – it is international, with a diversification of markets and increasingly pushing an increasingly extensive sales network worldwide: the US (where last year a new after-sales subsidiary in Tennessee) to Latin America, from Asia was opened (with the ‘India which offsets the drop in orders in China) to central Africa.
Meanwhile at the headquarters of Imola is all set to debut in domestic school dedicated to training in the round of new technical 4.0: “the training has always been our strong point and in front of the acceleration that has taken the industry 4.0 and the speed of evolution of robotics and digital technologies is necessary to act quickly to adapt human skills inside and outside the factory. Are human resources and time factor that makes the difference to get the complete integration and process control, ‘says Cassani, who created an area dedicated media within the Imola venue can accommodate over 200 people. “The first courses I am leaving now. In the chair technologists Sacmi with external researchers and professors who will offer training tailored not only to employees but also to customers and suppliers, because in the age 4.0 – concludes the dg – are working together on common technology platforms sharing along the language industry, information and processes. “
