Something is changing inside Italian factories, and those who work in the sector notice it every day. These are not major revolutions announced with fanfare, but transformations advancing within processes: in the way the quality of a part is checked, a team is managed, or decisions are made when something goes wrong. Artificial intelligence is already part of this shift, and the MECSPE 2026 trade fair is one of the most important events where all of this takes shape, is showcased, and discussed. We’ll be there.
Where to find us
From March 4 to 6, 2026, we’ll be at Bologna Fiere for the twenty-fourth edition of Mecspe, in the Digital Factory section, hall 29, booth B68. The Digital Factory is the area of the fair dedicated to those in manufacturing who don’t just follow change, but want to understand how to steer it with concrete and measurable tools. It’s exactly the context we work in every day, and it’s what we’ll bring to Bologna.
What we’re bringing to the fair
At our booth, you’ll be able to see three of our solutions in action, live. We developed them starting from real problems that manufacturing companies face every day, and this adherence to operational reality, in our view, is what distinguishes a useful technology from an interesting one.
AVA – Aidia Virtual Assistant is our virtual assistant and agent, integrable into any company system. It automates repetitive tasks, supports decision-making processes, and adapts to the context in which it operates without requiring infrastructural overhauls. It’s a tool designed first and foremost for people: it frees up time, reduces cognitive load, and allows teams to focus on what truly requires human attention.
HR Agent is a multi-agent system developed with AVA Engine to digitize processes related to human resources, from talent acquisition to daily people management, in direct integration with the company’s existing management systems. At a time when human capital management is increasingly central to business competitiveness, HR Agent offers a way to do it with greater precision and efficiency, without starting from scratch.
Aidia Control is our patented solution for quality control in production. It combines Machine Learning and Computer Vision to detect anomalies and defects in real time along the production line — reducing waste, improving process reliability, and giving the operations team more precise control over what happens in production. We will showcase it in operation together with industrial cameras from Alkeria, a Tuscan company specialized in developing machine vision systems for production environments. The collaboration stems from a genuine encounter between two companies working on the same problem from different angles, and at Mecspe it will take shape in a demo that combines the visual capabilities of Alkeria hardware with the intelligence of Aidia Control. The result is an integrated system that detects, analyzes, and responds: in real time, along the line.
At the booth you’ll find not only demos, but our team, ready to discuss and explore how these technologies can integrate into a specific industrial reality. A rare opportunity: to talk about technology with those who develop it, know it from the inside, and understand where it truly works, and where it doesn’t.
See you soon in Bologna
MECSPE is Italy’s leading trade fair dedicated to advanced manufacturing, reaching its twenty-fourth edition in 2026. Three days of exhibitions, demonstrations, and discussions among companies, professionals, and innovators — one of those moments when you pause, look around, and understand where the industry is heading. For us, it’s also a chance to meet in person those who face the same challenges we work on, and to concretely share how we’re trying to address them.
See you in Bologna.
