Digitalisation, Energy, and Sustainability: Key Drivers for the Future

In the face of today’s complex economic challenges, Davide Lucca, CEO of Rosa Ermando, believes that businesses must leverage digitalisation, energy efficiency, and sustainability to gain a competitive edge. "European machine manufacturers have excelled at designing and producing high-quality machinery," said Davide. "However, to remain competitive on a global scale, we must go beyond just manufacturing products. We need to focus on integrated solutions that combine innovative machinery, services, and processes."

Master Abrasives shares this vision and is excited to bring these innovative solutions to the UK market, highlighting how Rosa and Favretto’s technology can drive both operational efficiency and sustainability.

Energy Saving: Optimising Consumption for a Greener Future

One of the standout features of Rosa and Favretto machines that were presented at the 34th BI-MU exhibition is their focus on energy saving—an essential consideration for businesses aiming to reduce operational costs and their environmental impact. At the exhibition, Rosa Ermando presented an advanced energy management system that is now available on all Rosa GrindTech and Favretto GrindTech machines. This new feature allows users to measure energy consumption in real-time, providing detailed insights into energy absorption across different components and processing steps.

Davide explains: "Our new system not only tracks overall energy usage but also enables differentiation by monitoring the energy consumption of specific parts of the machine. The next step is to modulate machine functions based on actual energy requirements, which helps optimise consumption and enhance overall system efficiency."

This real-time energy management system offers manufacturers the opportunity to closely monitor their energy usage, identify areas for improvement, and forecast future consumption. The ability to make informed decisions about energy efficiency can significantly reduce costs and contribute to a more sustainable production process.

A Vertical Production Process Ensuring Uncompromised Quality

Rosa Ermando’s commitment to excellence extends beyond energy efficiency. With its strong vertical production process, the company ensures the highest quality in every machine it produces. From the initial casting of the machine foundations at a foundry in Romania (in which Rosa Ermando holds a 30% stake), to machining, assembly, and rigorous testing in the company’s Rescaldina plant, Rosa maintains full control over every phase of production.

This vertical approach guarantees exceptional build quality and precision—elements that have earned Rosa and Favretto machines a reputation for durability and performance in the global market.
