Supplement of ipcm® - International Paint&Coating Magazine n. 67
COVID -19 has set the pace for the transition to a digitally-driven economy. The year 2020 has taught us that everything (or almost everything) can be done “remotely” or online. The question, however, is: can everything be done as well as with a traditional approach? The answer is no (or at least not everything). On the other hand, opening digital channels and investing in flexibility, dynamism, and the possibility to reinvent oneself are not only ways to survive in the current context, but also the key to corporate development in the future post-Covid environment.
The protagonists of this first 2021 issue of ICT_Industrial Cleaning Technologies are precisely companies that have not given up. On the contrary, they have focussed on innovation and sustainability, implementing new technologies devoted to a process phase as important as it is delicate, namely the cleaning of parts after machining.
Whether these are turned components, small metal workpieces, jewellery and fashion accessories, or pumps for agricultural machinery, there are three new commandments for industrial cleaning: treatment precision, process flexibility, and environmental sustainability. This does not necessarily only refer to the contrast between water and detergent versus solvent. It rather means that every company should choose the most effective and efficient technology for its own products and production cycles, in order to optimise resources.
