The issue of environmental sustainability is at the heart of the public debate: the need to adopt production practices that reduce the impact on the environment and preserve natural resources for future generations is increasingly urgent.
The food production sector is among those that have the greatest environmental impact: laying the foundations for the establishment of a new sustainable food system is one of the great challenges of our times. Ensuring a virtuous system, from production to consumption, that minimizes food waste is essential to promote environmental sustainability and safeguard the future of the planet.
Achieving this goal is certainly not easy: only through shared actions and joint strategies between consumers citizens, industries and institutions (national and not) It will be possible to transform food production into an activity that combines efficiency and respect for the environment.
In this context, technology is absolutely essential and has considerable weight. Thanks to research and innovation, it is possible to study advanced methods and design equipment and equipment aimed at supporting both a functional and eco-friendly production cycle. The integration of state-of-the-art machinery with robotics and artificial intelligence allows you to optimize processes, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency.
For a company like Digama, which has always been inclined to offer innovative solutions to its partners, research and experimentation are essential to best meet the needs of the reference market, comply with the latest industry regulations and satisfy customers. Investing in innovation allows, in fact, Digama to anticipate the needs of the market and to develop cutting-edge machinery, thus maintaining its role as a leader in the industrial sector and in the segment of machinery for the food industry.
Automation and robotics
The food industry is a sector in continuous evolution, whose production processes must adapt rapidly to market changes.
Climate change, the reduction of the resources available on the planet, the constant increase in the demand for food resulting from the increase in the world population are just some of the challenges that the food industry faces.
These challenges undoubtedly represent an opportunity for companies that are called to respond with innovative and technological solutions. This is precisely the mission of Digama: to design plants and machinery capable of combining efficiency and sustainability, responding best to market demands.
With a view to research and experimentation, Digama has developed a specific line dedicated to robotics and automation. Modern industry can not do without the latest
technology: in this sense, Digama offers innovative solutions using high-quality equipment and a highly qualified and specialized technical studio composed of mechanical engineers, technicians and maintainers.
Robotics plays a fundamental role in the optimization of production processes and is crucial for the sustainability of companies. With the use of robots and automated production, companies can increase their competitiveness by making their business more efficient, fast and accurate. Further advantages are the reduction of operating costs and the guarantee of the respect of fixed standards (in qualitative and quantitative terms).
The reduction of waste
The primary objective for all companies in the food sector is the containment and reduction of waste. This can also be achieved by automating production and using artificial intelligence.
With an automated production cycle, in fact, both production and delivery times are reduced (resulting in a reduction in energy used and all related costs); in addition, potential human errors are completely avoided and bypassed (see, for example, the packaging phase of products and materials).
Through intelligent management software it is then possible to analyze in detail the entire production phase to study any critical points and weaknesses on which the company can intervene to make improvements and proceed with the necessary optimizations to prevent and avoid identified waste.
Digama robots are specially designed, built and installed to increase a company’s productivity and efficiency. Robotization systems are fully automated and operate through the control of sophisticated management software that allows robots to perform a wide range of tasks and coordinate with each other.
The robotization line is a flagship of Digama production: this represents the company’s ability to offer cutting-edge solutions to solve the problems of the food industry.
Digama technology to reduce environmental impact: the latest machinery and plants
Thanks to the combination of forty years of experience and the constant desire to innovate, Digama designs and manufactures plants for the transport, handling and palletizing of food and non-food packaging. The entire production process is followed step by step by Digama that offers customized solutions according to the specific needs of customers. Thanks to a direct relationship with its partners, the company is also able to offer a 24-hour support service.
The anthropomorphic robots produced by Digama are programmable and multi-coptic. These are advanced industrial robots that guarantee precision and speed in loading and processing products. They operate by connecting to a computer that allows control through a dedicated software for easy-to-use automation.
This type of robot simplifies the last phase of the production cycle, allowing effective handling and palletizing of products.
In addition to handling lines and robotics line, Digama deals with the design, manufacture and installation of complete production lines for the processing of tomatoes and for the processing of legumes with plants and machinery of the latest generation.
Strategies for the future of sustainable food production: objectives and action plans
In the production processes of any sector, the issue of environmental sustainability has become increasingly central and relevant. The need to develop sustainable production models is now established and no longer postponed.
The environmental impact of the food chain, from production to consumption, needs to be reduced in the short to medium term in order to safeguard the environment and protect biodiversity.
Sustainable production is one of the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, This is an international action programme signed in 2015 by the governments of the 193 Member States of the United Nations in which targets have been identified in the environmental, economic, social and institutional fields.
With regard to sustainable production, the following targets have been defined:
•
achieving sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources by 2030;
•
halving the worldwide per capita waste of food waste in retail and consumers and reducing food losses along the production and supply chains;
•
achieve environmentally sound management of chemicals and all waste throughout their life cycle and significantly reduce their release into air, water and soil;
•
substantially reduce waste production through prevention, reduction, recycling and re-use;
•
encouraging companies to adopt sustainable practices;
•
promoting sustainable public procurement practices;
•
ensure that people around the world have relevant information and awareness about sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature;
•
implementing the ten-year framework of programmes on sustainable consumption and production, with the cooperation of all countries and with the initiative of developed countries, taking into account the level of development and the capacities of developing countries.
It is in this global context, characterized by a marked collective sensitivity and an ever greater interconnectedness and environmental awareness, that all the companies of the Italian food industry must act.
For these companies, which operate in the sector and have to comply with all current regulations, sustainability can no longer be considered just an ethical issue, but rather a new paradigm that requires an integrated approach between innovation, efficiency and social
responsibility. This approach not only promotes competitiveness on the international market, but also contributes to preserving natural resources and promoting healthier, fairer and more sustainable economic development.
Technology plays a crucial role in this regard: Digama is committed daily to designing and developing the latest generation of equipment that can adapt to new commercial and production models eco-sustainable.
