In 2023, the transition from a linear to a circular economy must be considered the mandatory starting point for designing and manufacturing a green product. This requires a paradigm shift within every sector, including the field of industrial automation. The data confirms the need: more than 80% of a product's environmental impact is generated during the design phase. Approving a solution based on the efficient use of resources and materials contributes to reducing the effects of production and [...]

The Genoese start-up Hiro Robotics was founded in 2018 by four young engineers, Davide Labolani, Jacopo Lottero, Tomaso Manca and Michele Oliveri, with the aim of improving classic industrial automation processes with collaborative robots, maximising the amount of critical raw materials and valuable materials recovered from discarded electronic devices. In 2023, their proposal to integrate core competencies in AI, machine vision and robotics for sustainability meets with Osai GreenTech, set up to apply automation in the world of [...]
