As part of its innovation strategy, IMA has announced the creation of a formal and operational structure – within the Research and Innovation Area – for the enhancement of artificial intelligence in concrete, scalable and high-impact applications.
The task of expanding the use of AI in different directions is entrusted to two new competence centers, the IMA AI LAB and Embedded Data Machines.
Their mission is to consolidate and expand the use of AI across several fronts - from integrating intelligent functionalities into machines and plants, to advanced data collection and analysis, to the development of predictive algorithms and advanced tools for support and technical assistance. Special focus will be given to enhancing advanced troubleshooting through intelligent systems capable of anticipating, diagnosing, and resolving anomalies with increasing speed and precision.
“Artificial Intelligence for IMA is not an experiment, but a clear direction - says Dario Rea, director of Research and Innovation at IMA Group - We have decided to structure our expertise to accelerate the development of solutions that improve the performance, reliability, and service quality of our technologies. We are moving along multiple axes: connectivity, automation, troubleshooting, training. And we do so with a key principle: AI must serve work, not complicate it. It must generate value, not overhead. It must be responsible, useful, and transparent”.
