ComoNext Innovation Hub, partner di Spoke 3 - Industria del Turismo e della Cultura ha organizzato per martedì 3 dicembre 2024 a Villa Del Grumello (CO) un evento dal titolo: L'evento "Intelligenza Artificiale nel Settore Tessile – Human in the Loop or Changing the Loop?".   La conferenza esplora il ruolo rivoluzionario delle tecnologie di frontiera, con particolare attenzione all'intelligenza artificiale generativa nella trasformazione del settore tessile. Nel corso della giornata verranno trattati i temi della digitalizzazione dei processi produttivi, della sostenibilità aziendale e dell'innovazione nel design, evidenziando come l'AI contribuisca a ottimizzare l’efficienza e ridurre gli sprechi. Si illustrerà un'applicazione pratica dell’AI nel settore tessile riferita alla gestione intelligente degli archivi dei prodotti, supportata da moduli di computer vision e AI generativa. Sarà discussa l'importanza di un approccio di Governance, Risk & Compliance per gestire i rischi associati all’introduzione di tecnologie disruptive, garantendo una trasformazione digitale armonica e sostenibile.    Le nuove tecnologie di frontiera stanno rivoluzionando il modo di comunicare, di produrre e di vivere qualsiasi processo di business. Grazie all’iniezione armonica della digitalizzazione, le aziende ottimizzano i processi produttivi, migliorano l'efficienza e riducono i costi. In particolare, l'AI generativa e altre forme di intelligenza artificiale stanno trasformando il modo in cui i prodotti vengono progettati, realizzati e distribuiti. L'adozione dell'intelligenza artificiale, anche generativa, può portare a innovazioni radicali nel design dei prodotti, consentendo una risposta più agile e flessibile alle esigenze del mercato.  Inoltre, l'intelligenza artificiale può migliorare la sostenibilità delle operazioni aziendali.    Attraverso l'ottimizzazione delle risorse e la riduzione degli sprechi, l'AI contribuisce a creare processi più ecocompatibili, che sono sempre più richiesti dai consumatori e dai regolatori. L’introduzione di tecnologie innovative ci pone il problema di come ridisegnare un processo di business mantenendo l’uomo con un ruolo nel loop (human in the loop). D’altro canto, l’innovazione cambia il “loop” e questo aspetto deve essere governato, tenendo l’uomo al centro e lavorando, in maniera armonica, sui tre assi della Trasformazione Digitale (Persone, Organizzazione/Processi e Strumenti). Cambiando il loop cambia la richiesta di hard e soft skills in ambito professionale rendendo quindi necessario un approccio digitale alla formazione. Tra le varie applicazioni, oltre a quelle focalizzate all’ottimizzazione dei processi produttivi, la narrazione dell’evento si concentrerà su un caso tipico del mondo tessile che soddisfa la necessità di gestire, in maniera smart ed efficace, il proprio archivio di prodotti. Grazie a una soluzione innovativa, si gestisce in maniera più efficace l’archivio (AI Computer Vision) e si arriva in tempi più rapidi, grazie al modulo di AI Generativa, al disegno di una proposta basata sull’analisi della storia (interno ed esterno), dello stile (interno ed esterno) e del sentiment del mercato.   - Sessione 1: ore 9.30 – 13.00 - Sessione 2: ore 14.30 – 18.00     La partecipazione all'evento è a titolo gratuito   Iscriviti qui

Spoke 3 presents the TOEP Platform. On November 29th at 5:00 pm, in Omegna (VB), at the Parco della Fantasia Gianni Rodari (Parco Maulini, 1) on the occasion of the conclusion of the advanced training course "Territory and surroundings", the University of Eastern Piedmont (UPO) will present the web and mobile APP created as part of Spoke 3 Tourism and Culture Industry of the PNRR NODES Project (Digital and Sustainable North West).   The heart of Spoke3 is human creativity, a fundamental element for innovation in the tourism and culture industries, also in light of economic transformations, globalization processes and climate change. It is in this framework that a SaaS infrastructure is being implemented that can provide research, training and development services for the analysis of structured and unstructured data for tourist flows, as well as tools for the best positioning of the tourist offer on the web through the integration of different applications in a collaborative platform.   It will be possible to discover TOEP Tourism Open-ended Experimentation Platform with all its active features by connecting online on the GOTO platform to the following link

The University of Eastern Piedmont has organized a meeting entitled: The prized white truffle of Alto Monferrato as a driving force of the economy and symbol of the territory for November 23, 2024 at the Trinità auditorium in Nizza Monferrato (AL).   The prized white truffle of Alto Monferrato is a spontaneous product, typical of the area of ​​the Municipalities straddling the provinces of Alessandria and Asti. Historical documents attest to its fame since the end of the eighteenth century and the high quality that qualified it to be honored even at the Court of Savoy, as an expression of the territory and its culture. The Nodes project aims to develop initiatives around this product for the cultural and social enhancement of the Alto Monferrato territory. Slow gastronomic tourism, made up of the rediscovery of natural environments and social traditions, has, in fact, become central to the economic development of the internal areas, especially in the era of the so-called "overturism" in which the classic destinations of global tourist flows are now congested and overexploited.   The conference aims to take stock of these aspects, as well as to highlight further profiles of scientific interest in the relationship between the product and the territory. The nutritional profiles of truffle consumption will therefore be examined in the context of food lifestyles; the contribution of new technologies to ensure product traceability and authentication; the results of research also in the chemical and biological fields for the characterization of local truffles, with a view to building a real tourism driver for the territory.   Speakers: Maria Cesarina Abete, IZS Piemonte Liguria e Valle d'Aosta with a presentation entitled "Presence and concentration of heavy metals in truffles: a research project funded by the Ministry of Health to guarantee the safety and exportability of Italian truffles", Marco Guidi, UniTelma Sapienza - Rome "The Blockchain to guarantee the traceability of the prized white truffle of Alto Monferrato", and Guido Lingua and Maurizio Aceto, University of Eastern Piedmont with "Results of the research on the analytical traceability of the prized white truffle of Alto Monferrato".   Conclusions by Vito Rubino, University of Eastern Piedmont; at the end of the meeting there will also be an award ceremony for guests and testimonials 2024. Participation is free. For organizational reasons, confirmation of attendance is required by email to cedisa@uniupo.it
