SUPPORT FOR SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ARTISANAL ENTERPRISES FOR INVESTMENTS IN TECHNOLOGICAL MODERNISATION AND THE CREATION OF NEW PRODUCTION UNITS
3. PROJECT: EVA-REVOLUTION
The project supported the innovation drive at Tidei Agostino’s STEP division through an investment programme aimed at the technological modernisation of production processes and the development of advanced solutions for the moulding of EVA-based polymer materials. The project involved the introduction of a latest-generation 4-axis CNC lathe and advanced CAD/CAM software, to support the in-house production of strategic mechanical components and improve production efficiency, in line with the principles of Industry 4.0, energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.
OBJECTIVES
- Modernise production processes through the introduction of advanced machining technologies
- In-house the production of high-tech mechanical components
- Reduce production times and time-to-market
- Improve energy efficiency and reduce the use of resources and waste materials
- Strengthen the company’s know-how and the protection of intellectual property
RESULTS
Greater production autonomy in the manufacture of moulding machine components
Introduction of CNC technologies and CAD/CAM software for precision machining
Reduction in production waste and manufacturing costs
Improved energy efficiency and reduced consumption of hydraulic oil
Strengthening of the company’s competitiveness and technological positioning within the footwear sector
