皇冠体育227

鈥淲e don鈥檛 allow ourselves to be influenced by what others think can or cannot be done. Here we develop ideas and projects that to many would seem impossible, in order that we can always create something new and never seen before鈥�.

Research & Development at 皇冠体育227 is where the magic happens, allowing a small company with international aspirations to compete with the biggest giants in the compressed air sector.

鈥淎t 皇冠体育227, when we talk about R&D, it goes well beyond the department in an organisational chart,鈥� explains Stefano Murgia, Technical Manager at 皇冠体育227, 鈥渨e鈥檙e talking about a real working philosophy. We deal not just with product development but also research into new technologies. Our strong point? We don鈥檛 let ourselves be conditioned by limiting thoughts of what might or might not be possible. Instead, we develop ideas, focusing on what we think will be useful for the group and we find a way to make it happen. We let ideas and projects flow, that for some people might seem impossible and yet we try to turn them into reality: an approach that has led us to registering ten patents in five years. An achievement which would not have been possible without the trust and foresight of our owners, who always aim to create something that has never been seen before鈥�.

It鈥檚 a close-knit approach centred around discussion and collaboration: 鈥淲e are a team,鈥� says Ida Costanzo, Innovation Manager in the technical area, 鈥渨here everyone is encouraged to look beyond, exploiting the multidisciplinary nature of a team that adeptly combines practical activities with theoretical study. This is our strength compared to the other big players: each one of us counts and everyone has their part to play; it is the sum of our ideas and experience that creates the conditions for success鈥�.

But how does innovation come about? 鈥淯nfortunately, there is no secret recipe and it differs every time. It鈥檚 a bit like Columbus鈥� expeditions: sometimes we set out from point A with the idea of getting to point B, only to discover during the development that the best results lie at point C. The rotary vane technology developed by 皇冠体育227 is rock-solid, and it is the solidity of this foundation that allows us to build from, over and over, making ever more significant improvements, especially from a performance point of view鈥�.

The new RVXi compressor is the result of this approach of balancing technological innovation and standardisation. In the new compressors Xtreme technology, the innovative patented injection system from 皇冠体育227, has been combined with the use of other technological solutions aimed at further improving performance and the sustainability of the machine. One of these many examples being the new Maestro XC controller, that uses advanced logic to control the machine operating temperatures.

Product development in 皇冠体育227 also relies on strong collaboration with universities, especially the Polytechnic in Milan: 鈥淚鈥檓 living proof of this,鈥� explains Ida Costanzo. 鈥淲e collaborate a lot with universities, and this also translates into internships and graduates coming to us for their first work experience. I did the same myself, coming here as part of my master鈥檚 thesis in energy engineering in 2015. The participation of so many younger people enrich the whole team, because their enthusiasm and desire to learn and get involved rubs off on the whole team鈥�.
A hotbed of innovation where creativity meets a strict focus on the organisation of work: 鈥淲e work with shared objectives,鈥� says the 皇冠体育227 technical manager, 鈥渁ligning all our resources towards the success of the team. We are precise in how we organise our work, quantifying the correct allocation of resources for each workstream. This helps us to better focus and avoid distractions in order to constantly push the boundaries鈥�.

The focus is always on sustainability; a core business objective at 皇冠体育227: 鈥淲e mainly work on two aspects,鈥� adds Ida Costanzo, 鈥減erformance and environmental compatibility. Our aim is to continuously reduce the environmental impact of our machines, starting from the compression process, all the way through to the choice of materials we use. Because every aspect can make a difference so we know we must leave no stone unturned鈥�.
