The Oro della Stampa event are back. In November, the event to award the prestigious recognition to the excellence of the printing and converting industry in Italy, will return.
This year Logica will again be the sponsor of the special Oro Process Innovator award.
This award reflects the commitment of those who believe in future and innovation: in fact, it recognizes the company that not only demonstrates a willingness to adopt cutting-edge tools and strategies to remain competitive, but also stands at the forefront as a promoter of a new era in the industry.
In this article we will explore some of the most relevant trends that are driving this transformation and how softwares are becoming essential partners in this evolution.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is now a priority for the printing industries too, driven by growing consumer environmental awareness and increasingly strict regulations.
Eco-friendly technologies, such as low-impact printing and the use of recycled materials, are becoming market standards. At the same time, companies are looking for solutions to reduce energy consumption and minimize waste, focusing on processes that optimize the use of resources.
How can software be a key support to this issue?
These tools monitor production processes, track resources used and energy consumption, and, in general, offer a complete view of the flows on which to intervene to support a transition to more sustainable practices.

Also with this in mind, the integration of Artificial Intelligence algorithms offers an additional level of optimization and sustainable interpretation. By intervening, in this sense, in specific processes, A.I. makes them faster, saving time, energy and resources and is able to suggest timely and targeted improvements.
In parallel, they can represent retrofit solutions that allow older machinery to be updated, bringing it in line with current technologies and potential, thus reducing obsolescence and environmental impact.
ADVANCED AUTOMATION AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Hyperautomation – as well as the use of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, process automation software and other advanced technologies to simplify operational procedures – will inevitably enable business leaders to bring about a virtuous revolution.
Through these technologies, companies can automate repetitive and time-consuming tasks, allowing professionals to focus on more value-added activities.
“The future belongs to those who are ready to innovate. In Logica, we not only strive to keep up with the times, we anticipate them.”
DATA CONTROL MONITOR
Logica sets the foundation for this near future with Data Control Monitor: a solution that can recognize and report time and quantity mismatches against the system’s expected range for each component and production process.
The result? A timely and reliable database on which to train A.I. algorithms to take full advantage of the potential offered by this technology.
In order to make this happen successfully, it is essential to start with one key element: the data and its reliability.
BLOCKCHAIN: SUPPLY CHAIN TRACKING AND TRUST
Although not yet widely used in the graphics industries, blockchain is becoming known as an emerging technology, especially in related fields such as logistics and manufacturing.
But what is a blockchain? Read an in-depth discussion of it: what it is, how it works and its applications.
This technology offers advanced data protection thanks to its decentralized and encrypted structure. It is perfect for those who focus on sustainability as their workhorse because it provides more transparency in the tracking of raw materials: in this way, every step in the life cycle of materials is immutably recorded, from production to assembly to delivery.
This inevitably translates into higher trust for customers, as well as an guarantee of conformity to environmental and quality regulations.
These trends represent only a small percentage of a bigger industrial and technological revolution that is leading the industry to evolve toward smarter and more responsible production models.
Logica is proud to support and work alongside our clients in tracing this new path, offering them advanced tools to help them make the most of the new possibilities and prepare for the challenges of tomorrow.
