Transizione 5.0: production innovation and energy efficiency

Florim continued to innovate its production processes through a project combining technological development, improved quality standards and energy efficiency.

The project involved upgrading the squaring and lapping department, replacing 10 mixed-use lines with 6 new specialised production lines designed to separate the different processing stages. The equipment upgrade improved the quality standards of the finished product, increased production efficiency and reduced energy and water consumption.

The project also included the installation of new photovoltaic systems on the roofs of Plant 1 and Plant 3 in Fiorano Modenese, covering a total area of 48,000 m² with a capacity of approximately 3 MWp. The systems were complemented by a 5 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS), designed to store the energy generated but not immediately consumed.

The project combined technological innovation and energy efficiency, marking a further step in Florim’s progress towards a more efficient and technologically advanced production model.

Project information

Project title: The project involves replacing 10 mixed-use lines, which carry out both polishing/lapping and squaring, with 6 separate lines to ensure higher production standards and superior quality. The project also includes the installation of a photovoltaic system at Plant 1 and Plant 3 in Fiorano Modenese, complete with an energy storage system.
