Muzi and Magistrato near the new production line

Two young workers manage Ponte Giulio’s new production line

The future of the industrial production requires not only a careful planning of investments in machines, but a careful selection and training of the human resources involved too.

For its industrial challenge Ponte Giulio relies on young forces with a consistent experience and knowledge of the dynamics of the company: Samuele Magistrato (25 years old) and Francesco Muzi (31 years old).

To be able to manage complex interconnected machinery, capable of producing stainless steel articles in shorter timescales and at competitive prices, the two young men took a course in management of the "Manufacturing Execution System", the software used to optimize the production activities: this new system makes possible to manage all the manufacturing phases.

“It is not enough to set up the work - explains Muzi. Even though it is an automated system, human presence is essential. After placing the order, we must do some preliminary checks and then start the production. Everything must be constantly monitored".

“That's why we must attend the courses emphasizes Magistrato. The robots cut, polish and bend, but our contribution is essential: first of all we have to load the bundle of tubes; then we have to introduce a series of codes to cut and drill and to pre-polish or pre-satin the products. Other codes for bending are sent to the computer and, if necessary, we proceed with the 5-axis laser system that trims them. The process includes the polishing or final satin-finishing and then packaging. But not all articles follow the same phases: for this reason, our supervision is essential, as well as the management of automatisms that will allow us to operate at the highest technological and work quality levels. It is a very interesting activity: we refine all the processing facets to obtain an offer that is the best expression of Made in Italy".

"We would like to thank Ponte Giulio - end Muzi and Magistrato - for believing in us giving us this great opportunity of professional growth and advancement. The company has always invested in modernizing its plants and optimizing its work, to reach the best quality of the production. This new plant s the proof “.

"When one stops, one ceases to be modern. It is like a river that is no longer a river if it stops flowing, or the wind that is no longer a wind if it stops blowing. To modernize or to modernize oneself means to change continually, that is, not to accept things as they are and to change them".
