IMA AUTOMATION Digital Twin at SPS Italia 2025

On May 14th, 2025, IMA AUTOMATION will play a leading role at the Smart Manufacturing Conference during SPS Italia, the key event for Industry 4.0 enabling technologies.

In the ARENA space (Hall 4 – Fiere di Parma), during the panel scheduled from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM titled:

“DIGITAL TWIN: BEYOND THE DIGITAL TWIN, TOWARDS SYSTEM INTELLIGENCE”,

Pier Luigi Vanti, ICT Corporate Director at IMA, will share the Group’s achievements and future outlook in the field of Digital Twin, with a focus on the evolution toward intelligent and integrated systems.

The Digital Twin, once a simple virtual replica of machines or plants, is now becoming a dynamic, predictive, and intelligent system. With its ability to process real-time data, learn from operations, support complex decision-making, and train Artificial Intelligence models, IMA is developing advanced digital solutions that can:

• anticipate operational issues,
• optimize maintenance,
• reduce downtime,
• and improve overall production quality.

IMA AUTOMATION is at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging Digital Twin technology across several development businesses to enhance innovation on high-tech platforms and production lines.

“For IMA AUTOMATION, the Digital Twin is not just a technological upgrade - it’s a strategic direction. It allows us to rethink design, operation, and service with a level of intelligence and foresight that wasn’t possible before,” Davide Azzolini, Technical Director & Site Manager, IMA AUTOMATION.

These results are made possible by strong collaboration between the ICT, R&D, and Operations teams, which has already led to the launch of pilot projects on various production lines. These initiatives integrate digital twins with AI algorithms, advanced simulation, and predictive modeling.

IMA’s participation in the conference will be a key opportunity to illustrate how the Group is shifting from a reactive to a proactive approach, where the intelligence of digital systems becomes a strategic asset for the competitiveness and sustainability of the entire production value chain.
