Since he arrived at the top of Leonardo Roberto Cingolani he immediately made it clear that the limits of technologies can be reached and even overcome.
Lead a group from 50 thousand employees it is a pride and also a great opportunity. Particularly when working with partners like Boeing and wanting to conquer other spaces.
For the historic Pomigliano d'Arco plant the CEO had no doubts in focusing on the NEMESI project (New Engineering & Manufacturing Enhanced System Innovation) of 420 million euros.
Artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, to challenge the future and win it. Innovation is the winning currency and if combined with strategies that involve workers the path is clear. The internal and external environments of productions count as much as good social peace. Together with the Minister of Business Adolfo Urso and the Group's managers, Cingolani presented the project, inaugurating ahead of time a 2024 restart.
A smart factory plus Industry 5.0
Before now the workers had not seen or heard anyone who explained to them the meaning of a bet. There was the production collapse and the depression due to Covid. The aeronautical industry paid a very high price for the vertical fall of flights and Leonardo's turnover fell to 480 million euros.
With NEMESIS sI build one smartfactory , sustainable, eco-innovative, to put the result of aerostructures on the global market digitalisation, virtual reality, robotics. People ? They don't go home, automation is a value, not a threat, says Cingolani.
In the Pomigliano factory, where everything around recalls the post-war birth of a glorious aeronautical hub, there will be Industry 5.0 in the coming months. 4500 direct employees plus an additional 10 thousand workers will be the force for change for new products. If it is not rhetoric in favor of the promotion, times and costs will be reduced by 15%, to reach 46 thousand planes in 20 years. “We already have orders for 5-6 years,” says the division head Stefano Bortoli.
From the rooms next to the departments, 70 young students who graduated from the Aerotech Academy created together with the Federico II University found work in the Group. Bets are also won in the South.
