Organized alongside industry partners Pemamek, Pietro Carnaghi, and HGG, and with strategic market perspectives delivered by AIPE (Italian Association for Pressure Equipment), the seminar served as a platform for collaboration and technical exchange across the entire heavy fabrication value chain.
Real-World Perspectives: Case Histories
A highlight of the seminar came from leading global fabricators who shared real-world fabrication challenges and breakthroughs during the case history sessions:
- Walter Tosto: Highlighting heavy-wall fabrication excellence and the quality standards required for next-generation nuclear components and critical pressure vessels.
- Baltic Group (Gdansk Shipyard): Showcasing large-scale manufacturing capabilities and execution strategies in demanding energy infrastructure environments.
- Energy Dome: Providing insights into non-traditional, innovative energy storage systems and the fabrication requirements essential for long-duration energy storage technologies.
Live Demos: Heavy-Duty Rolling and Metrology in Action
Attendees joined a tour through Davi workshops and logistics facilities, concluding with a live demonstration that highlighted both heavy-duty capacity and smart, sensor-driven automation:
- Heavy-Duty MAV Demonstration: Rolling a heavy plate of 120 mm (4.72 in), proving the force, precision, and structural rigidity of Davi variable-axis geometry under demanding forming loads. This setup featured the Roundness measuring system for real-time dimensional verification during bending.
- AI-Vision on Fully Electric MCE: Installed on the MCE fully electric plate roll, demonstrating how smart vision algorithms streamline automation and process control on electric-drive machinery.
- AI-Readius on MCB: Continuous radius tracking and dynamic control on a 4-roll MCB plate roll, ensuring adherence to target geometric profiles.
- Elongation Measurement: Performed on a round thick shell already present in the workshop, demonstrating laser-precision tracking of material stretch and deformation under high-stress conditions.
These live showcases illustrated how integrated artificial intelligence, electric drives, and dynamic measuring systems reduce cycle times, eliminate manual templating, and guarantee micron-level repeatability for critical energy components.
Powering the Future of Nuclear and Clean Energy
Together with technical presentations from Pemamek (welding automation), Pietro Carnaghi (large-scale vertical turning and milling), and HGG (3D profiling and cutting automation), the seminar underscored the role of integrated manufacturing ecosystems.
Davi extends its appreciation to all guest speakers, partner companies, and attendees who made the 2026 Power Generation Seminar a success. We look forward to continuing these collaborations and supporting our partners worldwide as the energy sector advances into a new era of performance and sustainability.
