Ucima joins Digital Industries World

The Community studying and working for the digital transition of the industrial sector has been expanded, thanks to the collaboration of a strategic department like that of automatic machine manufacturers.

The entrance of UCIMA (the Italian Association of Automatic Packing and Packaging Machinery Manufacturers) into Digital Industries World (the association committed to promoting the digital transformation in industry) comes at the culmination of a collaborative journey that started in 2022 with participation at the “Connected Machines” event. It then continued in 2023 with its presence and patronage at Macchine Protette e Macchine Connesse (Protected Machines and Connected Machines), as well as with its participation at “Digital Servitisation in the machinery sector”, DIW’s first Monitoring Centre for Industry 4.0. This last initiative, in particular, intends to measure the extent of industry’s digital maturity in our country and involves numerous representatives of the sector, including also partner associations of UCIMA (Acimac and Amaplast).

Despite coming from different contexts, DIW and UCIMA share a number of fundamental objectives in their daily activities: to promote digitalisation and exploit the innovations that Italian companies are able to develop, as, moreover, underlined by the UCIMA’s President Riccardo Cavanna:

«We decided immediately to join Digital Industries World because the themes of digitalisation, cybersecurity, servitisation and artificial intelligence are very important to us. We have, moreover, always promoted collaboration between associations, precisely to favour the evolution of our factories, allowing us to maintain the technological leadership of the Made in Italy manufacturing chain».
