In today’s industrial panorama, the choice of which cooling equipment to purchase can no longer be based solely on traditional criteria such as refrigeration capacity or initial investment costs. The increased focus on energy efficiency, regulatory compliance and sustainability has led to new evaluation standards, which include the Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR).

High Temperature Heat Pumps (HTHP) are a key technological innovation, able to generate heat and produce temperatures of up to 200°C, thanks to their use of electricity and recovered latent heat. This characteristic makes them highly suitable for use in industrial processes involving chemicals, food products, pharmaceuticals and paper processing.

A Multi-Agent System is an advanced paradigm of artificial intelligence (AI), able to coordinate networks of autonomous agents within complex, dynamic environments.

The self-regenerative heat pump (SRHP) has emerged in response to the climate crisis and forms a key part of the current conceptual and functional revolution in the cooling sector. Global warming and the urgent need to switch to sustainable energy sources mean that innovative air conditioning and refrigeration solutions have become essential.

In recent years, data centre architecture has undergone a radical, systemic transformation, as a result not only of growing demand for digital services, but also as it adapts to face new technological, operational and ecological challenges.

Drinktec 2025, the most important event in the global drinks and liquid food sector, will be held from 15th to 19th September in Munich. It is a trade fair which has gradually become a point of reference for producers, technology suppliers, start-ups and other sector operators, establishing itself year by year as the place where the future of the beverage industry is shaped.

Febrava 2025 (the International Trade Fair for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, Air and Water Treatment and Refrigeration) is preparing to write a new chapter in the history of the HVACR industry. The 23rd edition of what is considered the sector’s biggest and most significant event in Latin America will be held from 9th to 12th September at São Paulo Expo, featuring a new, more comprehensive format with a wider range of content.

The SAP Executive Summit 2025 proved a turning point in the debate on technological innovation in business. Held at the historical Villa D’Este in Cernobbio, the summit brought together over a hundred leading Italian decision makers from both the public and private sectors.

In today’s digital scenario, with companies having to deal with increasingly complex infrastructure, as well as the continuous need for agility, cloud orchestration has emerged as a key strategy to ensure operational efficiency, control and scalability.

In recent years the Internet of Things has become increasingly relevant to Italy’s economy and society as a whole, emerging as a strategic element in the country’s digital transformation. Each connected item becomes a cog in a smart network, able to gather data, interact with other devices and generate market value in a range of contexts, from industry to mobility, in homes and in cities.
