Inoltre, vorrei rilanciare il progetto delle aggregazioni tra
aziende, che considero un’esigenza stringente se vogliamo
mantenere la nostra competitività a livello globale. E
cercherò nei prossimi anni di promuovere una connessione
ancora più stretta con il Cluster Fabbrica Intelligente,
che ha avuto un ruolo primario nella definizione del Piano
Nazionale Industria 4.0. Credo che AIdAM debba essere
un elemento chiave all’interno del Cluster.
Pensa che si possa fare qualcosa in più sotto l’aspetto
della comunicazione, per diffondere in modo ancor più
capillare la portata delle iniziative promosse e dei risultati
raggiunti dall’associazione?
Sicuramente sì. Uno dei punti che porterò avanti riguarda
una diffusione più capillare delle informazioni,
sfruttando i mezzi che la tecnologia ci mette a disposizione.
È importantissimo comunicare quello che facciamo,
non solo agli associati e ai potenziali associati, ma
anche all’esterno. L’ultima assemblea, celebrata il 16
marzo scorso, per esempio, è stata straordinariamente

Michele Viscardi, Managing Director at
Cosberg, is the new president of AIdAM,
the Italian Mechatronics Automation
Association founded almost 20 years ago by
Cosberg along with other forward-looking
entrepreneurs. Between continuity with the
good things done so far and an inevitable
push for change, Mr Viscardi shows us his
vision to stimulate growth not only of the
association but also of the Italian process
automation industry.
President Viscardi, how did you receive the news of
the election?
Being president of AIdAM is a big honor for me. I
believe that, over the years, the automation, robotics and
mechatronics industry has become increasingly important
for Italian manufacturing, as it provides added value.
Being part of this industry, we perhaps do not fully realize
its centrality and, in reflection, the value of being part of
an association that can defend our instances even at the
highest levels. I hope I will do my part for the development
of the entire industry.
As a member of the Board of Directors, you have actively
participated in defining the strategies and initiatives of the
association over the years. During your mandate, will you
act in continuity with what has been done so far or do you
think a radical change is needed?
I generally do not like talking about radical changes.
I prefer a continuity that, however, implies a change.
We cannot forget that what has been done so far is very
positive; however, new activities are needed to make the
association more recognizable and prestigious, as well as
to participate in important discussion boards to make the
voice of everyone working in this area heard.
In addition, I would like to relaunch the project of
aggregation between companies, which I consider
to be a strict requirement if we want to maintain our
competitiveness globally. And, in the next few years, I
will try to promote an even closer connection with the
Smart Factory Cluster, which has played a leading role
in defining the Industry 4.0 National Plan. I think AIdAM
should be a key player within the Cluster.
Do you think that something more can be done in the
aspect of communication in order to further broaden the
scope of the initiatives promoted and the results achieved
by the association?
Definitely. One of the action points I will pursue is the
widespread dissemination of information, by exploiting
the means that technology makes available to us. It is
very important to communicate what we do, not only
to associates and potential associates, but also to the
outside. For example, the last assembly, celebrated
