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 event aims to facilitate the discussions between experts from both industry and academia, fostering an exchange of ideas and perspectives.

With this purpose, a special focus during the event will be placed on productivity, sustainability, and enabling technologies within the framework of funded projects and initiatives, such as the Italian PNRR or other financing funds, through a poster session planned during the Welcome Party.

This poster session is an opportunity to disseminate projects and the research group's funded activities, which can be exposed during the event.

We warmly encourage you to join the event by submitting a poster, and invite you to register as follows.

EVENT CHAIR
Pedro M. Ramos received the Diploma, MSc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon (UTL) now University of Lisbon (UL), Portugal, in 1995, 1997 and 2001. Associate Professor with habilitation at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering from IST, UL, and member of the teaching and research staff since 1999. Senior researcher of the Instrumentation and Measurements Research Group at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT). Current research interests include power quality monitoring and measurements, impedance measurements, impedance spectroscopy, non-destructive testing and battery impedance spectroscopy. IEEE Senior Member and Member of IMEKO-TC4 Measurement of Electrical Quantities. Editor of Measurement from Elsevier and Metrology from MDPI.

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., a company operating in the aerospace sector.
She achieved her doctorate in 2012 at the University of Naples, Federico II (Italy). The focus of her research was the application of statistical methods to optimize advanced manufacturing processes.
From 2012 to 2017 she worked as a research fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering at the University of Naples, Federico II. At the same time and until 2018 she was a research associate at the Institute for Machine Tools and Production Processes (IWP) of Chemnitz University of Technology (Germany). Her focus was on innovative cutting technology. From 2018 to 2024 she was a researcher at the Mittweida University of Applied Sciences (HSMW), under the chair for Systems Electronics, and a lecturer, teaching ‘Industry 4.0 - Responsible Consumption and Production’ in the frame of the European alliance EURECA-PRO. Since October 2024 she has been an assistant professor at HSMW for Responsible Consumption and Production in the frame of the NextGen project, financed by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space.

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.
