Nordmeccanica continues its path of technological innovation in the converting and flexible packaging sector through the development of advanced solutions dedicated to the optimization of production processes and the experimentation of new materials and applications.
Among the main development guidelines are aNDRomeda, the artificial intelligence system applied to coating and laminating lines, and the new Innovation Hub, a technological space dedicated to the development and validation of innovative materials and processes.
aNDRomeda: artificial intelligence applied to converting
aNDRomeda represents the evolution of automation systems for coating and laminating, thanks to the integration of machine learning algorithms and predictive analytics capable of optimizing production processes in real time.
The platform makes it possible to transform production data into an advanced operational tool, helping to improve efficiency, process stability, and final product quality.
Among the system’s main features:
- continuous optimization of process parameters to ensure consistent performance;
- reduction of waste through proactive defect prevention;
- predictive maintenance through intelligent equipment monitoring;
- advanced quality control with automatic detection and correction of anomalies;
- advanced management of the CWM system for even greater coating uniformity.
The objective is to support converters with tools capable of increasing production reliability and improving process sustainability, while maintaining high quality standards even in the most complex applications.
Nordmeccanica’s Innovation Hub: a partner for development
At the Piacenza Headquarters there is a dedicated Innovation Hub: a facility designed to support the development, testing, and validation of new products and processes before the transition to large-scale production.
The Innovation Hub is equipped with advanced coating and laminating equipment, enabling complete trials on new materials, adhesive systems, and sustainable packaging structures. From the study of paper-based substrates, to testing barrier performance for new applications, up to process validation for regulatory compliance purposes, Nordmeccanica’s technical team collaborates with Clients and Partners to identify the most effective solutions.
Why it is important:
The transition toward new materials or processes inevitably involves technical risks. The Innovation Hub makes it possible to reduce these risks through rigorous testing and validation in a controlled environment, using the same technology employed in production. This allows to do investments in new equipment or materials on the basis of concrete and verified results.
How it works:
Clients can present their specific requirements to the Innovation Hub. Nordmeccanica’s engineers collaborate with technical teams to design the trials, test different variables, and jointly analyze the results. At the end of the process, validated data, optimized parameters, and a clear path toward production are provided.
For companies engaged in the development of new packaging solutions, sustainable alternatives, or performance improvements, the Innovation Hub represents a concrete tool for technical and industrial support.
With aNDRomeda and the new Innovation Hub, Nordmeccanica confirms its strategy focused on concrete innovation, combining advanced digitalization, artificial intelligence, and applied research to support converters in addressing the future challenges of flexible packaging.
In an increasingly competitive and sustainability-oriented market, Nordmeccanica provides technologies and expertise capable of accelerating the development of new solutions, improving production efficiency, and ensuring increasingly high quality standards.
