Alcantara S.p.A. is an Italian company specialized in the production of the eponymous technical and design material, renowned for its versatility and quality.
Alcantara faced the challenge of modernizing its business processes to meet growing demands for quality, efficiency, and sustainability. The lack of an integrated digital management system limited the company’s ability to innovate and optimize its internal operations.
The project aimed to assess the organization’s digital maturity and develop a strategy for adopting artificial intelligence, identifying the areas with the greatest potential impact for implementing advanced technological solutions and building a digital transformation roadmap.
The AI assessment by MADE4.0 is structured into four phases:
Analysis of the business context and mapping of existing processes
Identification of the most promising use cases for AI application
Creation of a digital roadmap to implement the identified solutions
Sharing and validation of recommendations with company teams
Significant reduction in development and time-to-market
Greater control over product quality and regulatory compliance
Complete digitalization of technical documentation, reducing the use of paper-based media
Optimization of team collaboration through centralized data access
Identification of opportunities to strengthen market leadership
Creation of a framework for AI adoption across all business areas
Development of internal skills for the implementation and management of AI technologies
