Fincantieri has acquired a stake in the startup Decision Intelligence for in-Depth Optimization

Fincantieri explained that the platform will allow from one side significant cost savings, on the other a greater efficiency of systems and processes that will result in a increase in profits from production activities and service, with a decrease in risks, both operational and employment, and the generation of new opportunities to business. To this end, some modules of the platform will concern the efficiency of purchasing processes, the reduction of consumption energy, the optimization of prosuming policies (i.e. those aimed at consumers who are in turn of the manufacturers), the identification of optimal maintenance strategies predictive and prescriptive, the optimization of the management of the logistics of spare parts and related warehouse.

Fincantieri has specified that subsequently, starting from 2023, the platform will be made available on the market, addressing both the world of industry and that of Infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Fincantieri and the French Naval Group, with their joint venture Naviris, and the Spanish Navantia, in the framework of their cooperation for the Modular Multirole Patrol Corvette program (MMPC), presented on 9 December a proposal on the MMPC call of the European Defence Fund (EDF). The objective of the proposal is to maximize synergies and collaboration between the European shipbuilding industries. In particular - they have specified the shipbuilding companies - developing together a new unit, the European Patrol Corvette (EPC), the most important naval initiative within the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), the purpose of which is to ensure European sovereignty in the field of second-line ships. Fincantieri, Naval Group and Navantia have highlighted that this proposal, which will give impetus to the PESCO project, involves the participation of four countries (Italy, France, Spain) and Greece) in the PESCO project of the EPC, six nations involved in the co-financing (Italy, France, Spain, Greece, Denmark and Norway) and, in addition to the three European shipbuilding industries (Fincantieri, Naval Group and Navantia) coordinated by Naviris, 40 companies for marine systems and components.

Fincantieri, Naval Group and Navantia explained that this proposal is also the first key step in preparing the future production of a prototype unit in case of issuance of a second EDF call as part of the planning multiannual.
