innovation
In many sectors, innovation depends on a continuous search for novelty. This requires collaborative efforts between individuals and the interaction of individual and collective creativity. In this sense, innovation represents an “organized and organizational activity” that involves collective and collaborative forms.
It is estimated that industrial robotics devices have increased by about 16% annually since 2010, with 60% of industries expected to employ them by 2025. Today, robotics applications range from rehabilitation to precision agriculture, from assisting vulnerable individuals to handling delicate items.
Compared to 30 years ago, road safety has improved due to mandatory seatbelt use and technological advancements in vehicles, leading to a reduction in accidents. Autonomous vehicles powered by artificial intelligence could reduce accidents from 20 per hour to fewer than 2 per day across Europe, saving millions of lives each year.
Training
The visit to Feralpi Group provided students with a firsthand look at the excellence of Italian steelmaking. Featuring advanced technologies, sustainable solutions, and career opportunities, the sector remains an economic and social pillar, blending tradition and innovation.
Students from the Industrial Engineering program at the University of Trento visited the Röchling Automotive plant in Laives, exploring injection molding technologies and innovative production processes. This formative experience connected theory and practice in the automotive sector.
In the world of metals, ductility emerges as a fundamental characteristic. It represents a metal's ability to deform plastically before fracture occurs. In other words, the higher the ductility of a metal, the greater its capacity to undergo deformations without breaking. This property plays a crucial role in engineering and the production of metallic artifacts.
COMPANIES
Students from the University of Trento visited Aquafil Spa, discovering the production processes of synthetic fibers and the company's commitment to sustainability. This formative experience connected theory and practice, demonstrating how innovation and environmental respect can coexist.
Imagine an industry where nothing is wasted, and every byproduct becomes Raw Material for a new production process.
This is the concept behind industrial symbiosis: when waste from one industrial process becomes the raw material for another.
stories
“Who made me fall in love with metallurgy? The professors I met in high school. They instilled in me the desire to deepen my understanding of this discipline. And to think that in middle school, I told myself I would go straight to work instead of university!” Martino has come a long way since then and has never stopped challenging himself or gaining experience.
“Every day, you learn something new. Although difficulties are not lacking—because you can’t know everything and the feeling is often one of never being fully competent—it’s rewarding to see how the path becomes clearer over time.”
