The green soul, digital brain
Today sustainability and digital transformation are two sides of the same coin, capable of having a positive impact on business and environment.

About Digitalization on show

The machines speak Digital and tell of the IMA Smart Factory. They are connected, data collected in real time are sent to the Control Room present at the fair and then displayed on the various dashboards. An actual simulation of what happens during production: data analysis, potential implementations and the increase in production capacity, with the support of the industrial metaverse etc.
On show, it will be possible, by reserving an appointment, to get a first-hand look at all the products and services that IMA offers now available on the market.

About Sustainability on show

The green element comes to life, bringing a part of OPENLab on show: a small-scaled laboratory to illustrate the analysis and research on packaging materials that the IMA Group carries out in its worldwide network of laboratories.
During the event, visitors will be able to run tests on their materials’ samples thanks to our OPENLab instruments present:

Perkin Elmer Infrared Spectrometer, to identify the material’s chemical nature through the absorption of the infrared radiation;
Leica Optical Microscopy, to count and measure the layers of which a material is made, analyse surface and defect with potential measurement of elements of interest.

Thanks to the IMA’s Experts in the OPENLab on show, customers will be able to bring their own packs or materials and analyse them in real time, directly on their Stand.
