Innovative Solutions from the Solver Team

The Solver Team developed a semi-automated solution for coil assembly, presenting a prototype capable of reducing cycle times, improving operational efficiency, and enhancing operator working conditions.

These achievements earned the team first place in the Teaching Factories Competition 2024, reaffirming the potential of collaborations between industry and academia.

A Winning Collaboration

“The Teaching Factories Competition allowed us to work closely with young academic talents, gaining access to fresh ideas and innovative approaches,” said Alissa Zaccaria, EU Project Manager at Intellimech. “The students’ creativity and enthusiasm led to practical and original solutions that we are now refining to adapt them to Vinservice’s operational needs.”

The collaboration did not end with the competition: Intellimech recently signed an agreement with the team to further develop the proposed automation system. The project’s next phase involves defining the system in detail, including evaluating the return on investment (ROI) for potential implementation.

“This project is a concrete example of how collaboration between industry and academia can bring mutual benefits,” added Alissa. “Thanks to the Teaching Factories Competition, we have created a replicable model for tackling complex industrial challenges, fostering innovation, growth, and long-term competitiveness.”

With this initiative, Intellimech reaffirms its role as a leader in technological innovation and building strategic synergies between companies and universities, actively contributing to the advancement of the manufacturing sector.
