Technologies that respond to market challenges
Innovation for Ocrim
In the milling industry, innovation is not merely about technological advancement but a necessity to proactively address market challenges and meet customer expectations. We continually invest in research and development to ensure that each solution not only meets but anticipates industry needs, combining sustainability, efficiency and technology.
Investments
Each year, over 3% of our resources, in both personnel and revenue, are allocated to R&D projects.
Expertise
At least one technical specialist per team is directly engaged in research and development activities (including a miller, a mechanical designer, an electrical designer, and a lab analyst).
Collaborations
We collaborate continuously with research centres and universities to explore new technologies and methodologies, contributing to talent development in the sector (e.g. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, FMB Engine srl).
Our Research and Development department is the driving force behind innovation at Ocrim.
Ideas take shape and become projects thanks to a team of engineers, technicians and researchers working together to develop cutting-edge milling technologies based on the needs identified by our clients in the field. Our objective is clear: innovate in order to optimise processes and enhance the efficiency and sustainability of our facilities.
Our R&D projects
Milling Hub
Milling Hub. Innovative milling centre created by Ocrim and Bonifiche Ferraresi. Since its launch in 2021, it has been used as the basis for testing new Ocrim machines and technologies.
Virtual reality
Project started in 2017 and implemented until 2022. Through the use of 3D immersive reality technologies, we created a virtual experience in the ‘heart’ of the mill, the roller mill, allowing users to perform machine adjustments and simulate maintenance interventions.
Applied artificial intelligence
Since 2024, Ocrim’s Intelligent Machines department has been investing in the development of applications based on Artificial Intelligence, aimed at maintaining and enhancing the efficiency of the plants.
