The dosing of raw materials: CEPI’s method

Designing a dosing system is a complex process that requires a close analysis of the customer’s processes. With repeatability, traceability and precision in mind, detailed information is needed about raw materials and consumptions, building evaluation, humidity and temperature effect, cross contamination and sustainability. The customer’s experience during this process is rarely discussed but for a project to be successful, the ability to fully involve them before and during planning is fundamental. tracciabilità e gestione del magazzino.

Emiliano Leonardi: Installations grow like plants

World Productivity Day fell this week on June 20. We took a moment to chat with Emiliano Leonardi, who heads one of the most productive departments in CEPI: Electronic and Electrical Automation. Among other things, they manage the development of the software running the panels controlling production in our installations. Emiliano had a lot of insights to share on how to incentivize productivity, both individually and as a team. Tools are fundamental, but so is office culture.
