ID4MetroXrAi 2025

SPECIAL EVENT

The concept of a sustainable and resilient digital factory requires a reliable human-machine coevolution relationship enabled by AI, digital technologies, and collaborative robotics. In the context of digitalization and the circular economy, one of the key challenges for policymakers and managers is to adopt profitable technologies while prioritizing and safeguarding human well-being.

This approach embodies the principles of the Industry 5.0 paradigm, focusing on the integration of digital technologies and automation with strategies centered on digital twins and Human Digital Twins in future manufacturing systems.

The ID4MetroXRAI event will highlight the critical role of measurement science and address the challenges faced by researchers in characterizing measurement systems equipped with AI-driven algorithms. These systems, powered by smart sensors, are designed to support both digital twins and Human Digital Twins.

A special focus during the event will be placed on productivity, sustainability, and enabling technologies within the framework of funded projects such as the Italian PNRR or other financing fund. The event will facilitate discussions between experts from both industry and academia, fostering an exchange of ideas and perspectives.

Loredana Cristaldi (S’91–M’01–SM’06) received the M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Catania, Catania, in 1992, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy, in 1995. In 1999, she joined the Dipartimento di Elettrotecnica, Politecnico di Milano as an Assistant Professor of electrical and electronic measurements. She is a Full Professor with the Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria, Politecnico di Milano.
Her current research interests include the measurements of electric quantities under nonsinusoidal conditions, virtual instruments, and measurement methods for reliability, monitoring, and fault diagnosis.
Prof. Cristaldi is a Counsellor of the IEEE Student Branch of the Politecnico di Milano and a member of the TC 315 CEI (WG6) and TC56 CEI.

Flaviana Tagliaferri graduated in 2008 with the best score in Mechanical Engineering at ‘Tor Vergata’ University, Rome (Italy).
Between 2006 and 2009 she worked for IACOBUCCI HF Electronics S.p.A. company, operating in the aerospace sector. After achieving her doctorate in 2012 at the University of Naples ‘Federico II’ (Italy) she won a Post-Doc grant (funded by DAAD - Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst) to work at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes (IWP) of Chemnitz University of Technology, (TU Chemnitz, Germany). Her focus was on innovative cutting technology. From 2012 to 2017 she worked as a research fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering University of Naples, Federico II. At the same time and until 2018 she was a research associate at IWP of TU Chemnitz. Since July 2017 she has been a lecturer at Niccolò Cusano University, Rome (Italy), teaching ‘Manufacturing materials and technologies for the food industry’. Since October 2018 she has been a researcher at the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, under the chair for Systems Electronics, and a lecturer , teaching ‘Industry 4.0 - Responsible Consumption and Production’.

Chiara Tagliaferri graduated in International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs at the Orientale University, Naples (Italy) in 2003. She has been a Technologist at the National Research Council of Italy (CNR), the largest Italian research organization, since 2006. As an expert in promoting, managing, and disseminating scientific research activities, she currently works for public relations, communication, dissemination, and training at the Institute of Intelligent Industrial Technologies and Systems for Advanced Manufacturing (STIIMA). She delved deeper into the topic of European and national policies and research programmes in Advanced Manufacturing. Currently, she is involved in several funded projects on the Industry 5.0 topic.
