The inauguration of the BlueTechHub was an opportunity of meeting and sharing, two days dedicated to innovation and to Industry 4.0 towards the new horizons of automation.

Live again the topical moments of the event through the shooting of the two days of “open factory”.

A sort of small exhibition to discover the most modern automated solutions for the factories of the future with the setting of six big CNC multi-spindle transfer machines by Buffoli Transfer, two Abb robotized lines, an artificial intelligence for crack control, a Twins assembly and testing machine; and moreover, components for automation and palletization by Buffoli Meccanismi and Electro Engineering, 3D printers and scanners by 3D Evolve, simulation of Microsoft glasses for virtual and augmented reality, an intelligent factory model interconnected with Mes system and data collection software for Industry 4.0 from machines of various manufacturers.

BlueTechHub is the BUFFOLI INDUSTRY’s competence center for the advanced manufacturing, the additive manufacturing and the automation. The Hub is located in Brescia (Italy) at only 400m from Buffoli Transfer Spa and is able to offer turnkey solutions and integrated services through companies belonging to the same industrial group with specific identities and skills.
