SAFETY IN PRODUCTION PROCESSES AND CARE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: THESE ARE THE REAL 4.0 INNOVATIONS





The term sustainability, which should have as its primary objective to act in the present with a projected vision to what will be "the productive tomorrow", is increasingly in use in the industrial sector.

It is therefore essential to think about the medium and long term and give the word sustainability two different meanings: a broader one, which includes social development, as well as economic and ecological, and a narrower one, which instead refers almost exclusively to the aspects of environmental management and resources, which are feared to be exhausted over time. Sustainability rhymes with responsibility and not only by assonance.

In fact, the conceptual “company that keeps its priorities straight” is one of the most recent topics on management and corporate policy. The business model of the company, traditionally structured to handle a small universe of known and "safe" issues, is now facing a much broader and more diversified scenario, where everything is faster, where reputation and credibility are influenced by variables often independent of the mere production mechanism. What matters then is to have an inclusive overview and a perception aligned to the global market.

Despite strong competition and a major problem of counterfeiting, Italy covers over 50% of European production and over 15% of global production (source: Unic, Unione Nazionale Industria Conciaria). The entire local manufacturing system is strongly influenced by territoriality, which represents adds to its credibility and represents a high added value of Made in Italy, thanks to a strongly ”artisanal" tradition.

However, this should not lead us to underestimate the necessities and perception of a global market that seeks quality, competitiveness but also products that are safe and environment-friendly. This brings eco-friendliness to become an important factor of competitiveness, a further immaterial added value for the Italian industry.

Technological innovation linked to topics such as environment and safety is, in fact, a reasonable goal for responsible entrepreneurship and is an element that contributes to the perception of quality that is usually associated with Italian manufacturing productions. However, while it is true that environmental sensitivity begins to spread among some consumer groups, it is equally true that much remains to be done so that "green" investments translate into an economic return on the market and an effective competitive asset for companies in the sector. In the last two decades, even under the pressure of increasingly stringent regulations, the coating sector, for example, has invested in various initiatives aimed at reducing the impact on the environment.

Aircom, an Italian company specialized in the design and production of automatic spray guns for the leather, plastic, wood and glass industries, has long since understood this, investing its resources on design, research and development, the fundamentals for the production of pieces not only evolved and aesthetically beautiful, but safe and durable.

Nothing represents this line of thought better than the latest addition to their catalogue, Aircom Eco, a spray gun designed to meet two fundamental objectives: attention to the ecological factor of industrial processes and their environmental impact and consequent, important, cost reduction during the painting phase.

To achieve this,the product has been developed in order to allow processing at very low atomization pressures in order to obtain both a high saving of coating products and a significant reduction in atmospheric emissions (value certified according to UNI EN 13 966-1).

Aircom is synonymous with reliability and safety, thanks to the values that have always distinguished the company and which translate into a dynamic production, in commercial offers never standardized but calibrated on the needs of individual customers and in a maximum level of guarantee for the final customer, proven by the most important certifications in terms of efficiency and transfer.
