Comer Industries: Innovative Industrial Choices with a View to Sustainability, Industry 4.0, and Coating Technologies Integrated in a High-Efficiency Plant Alessia Venturi ipcm®
In the era of interconnectedness, global competition, and just-in-time production, the industry can only remain competitive if it continuously innovates. The successful combination and integration of process engineering, product know-how, innovation, sustainability, quality, and efficiency were the winning factors that enabled the pool of Italian companies CMV, Verind, CMA, and Inver to meet the important requirements of sustainable industrialisation placed by Comer Industries, a global player in the sector of power transmissions for agricultural and earthmoving machinery, with the aim of enhancing the company’s technological competitiveness.
P
lant digitalisation is now standard for the surface technology
is a set of tools, machines, and equipment managed in an integrated
industry. The Industry 4.0 concepts are perfectly implemented
way and interconnected through a supervisory and control structure
in coating lines, allowing constant monitoring of operating
and through on-site sensors. What matters, therefore, is no longer just
parameters, complete traceability of products, and an ever-watchful
the digitalisation of the machines that make up the coating plant, but
eye on necessary maintenance. The latest lines installed, however, saw
rather their integration into a superior system that guarantees efficiency,
a positive move away from pure digitalisation, which is becoming just
operational and environmental sustainability, cost control, and material
one component of increasingly “smart” systems. A smart coating plant
flow efficiency.
