of innovative products, such to determine competitive advantages on international markets. Amongst the most recent accomplishments by Pavan Group, the first mechatronics application is undoubtedly interesting, whereby a logical approach (PLC), Motion and display view (HMI) are combined in an only device for motion control, centralised through the EtherCAT network. This automation architecture defined ”controller based” has been adopted for the development of a new machine for pasta sheet kneading (MS800),
commissioned by a prestigious French producer. This required synchronisation of cutting, piling, handling of piles in a dynamic way, with the flat pasta production line speed which had recently been installed. With the use of electronic cams, it has been possible to increase productivity and dynamics in all the non linear movements, transforming the data of the linear path in profiles of curvilinear motion. Thus, the right cycle speed has been achieved on a continuous production cycle such as that of pasta sheet, ensuring a correct performance of the product pile, ready for sale.
Technological innovation With the awarding of the Mechatronics 2013 Prize, innovative leadership as well as the ability to take technology into the world was recognised for Pavan Group during the seminar ”The Factory of the Future and Internet of Things – innovating boundaries of mechatronics technologies” Reggio Emilia – Italy.

Strength in commercial relationships The Italy – Mexico 2013 prize awarded to emerging food industry Herdez, the Mexican partner of Barilla Group, which is a pasta symbol trademark for a firm that has always been using Pavan Group production technology, highlights an activity of close cooperation, which has favoured 64
the creation of strong commercial relationships. This excellent alliance ensures utmost visibility for Pavan’s presence on the market, thus contributing to providing a winning image and support for future commercial activities in the Americas.
