Centro per l’Artigianato Digitale
Faire: Rome
Maker: Medaarch s.r.l. s.t.p.
Back to Maker Faire Rome, the extraordinary space dedicated entirely to artisans, manufacturing processes, and the digital revolution! Following the success of 2018 and 2019, Medaarch - in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mec - by popular demand, reintroduces the Center for Digital Craftsmanship for the 2023 edition of Maker Faire Rome. A 145 m² space designed as a public lounge where live demonstrations showcase how the connection between Italian craftsmanship, experimentation, and digital technology is contributing to the revival of Made in Italy, the enhancement of talents, the regeneration of territories, and the creation of an innovation ecosystem.
This space is dedicated to the new Renaissance, where one can admire high-impact and commercially successful design solutions achieved through a skillful combination of traditional processes and the use of new digital technologies.
The project's protagonists are the new artisan workshops: innovative and competitive enterprises operating in the excellence sectors of Made in Italy, such as fashion, ceramics, wood, and glass. These enterprises will guide us on a special journey into the new era of expertise, where creativity and technological innovation merge to generate large-scale innovations.
So, mark your calendars from October 20th to 22nd at Fiera Roma in the Life Pavilion. Over the three days, eight enterprises will demonstrate their processes and the ways they have chosen to use new digital tools, showing how technological solutions can already find fertile ground in Italian production chains, creating strong opportunities for manufacturing and Made in Italy talent.
There will be a chance to experience the most interesting virtual reality applications for craftsmanship, presented by Sautech, Medaarch, and Enco with the Artista project. You'll encounter the history and art of master Giuseppe Cicalese, who will create ceramic and sculptural works through live demonstrations involving 3D printing and virtual reality. You'll meet the talent of designer Marianna Capuano, who will showcase Tiffany glass works created with digital fabrication support.
You can admire wooden design pieces by master Luca Colacicco, created through digital manufacturing and designed by Medaarch. You'll witness the creation of fashion products by designer Giulia Scalera, expertly combining 3D printing processes and art couture.
Furthermore, you can discover how 3D printing can be applied to sustainable design, admiring 3D-printed ceramic objects and green furnishings from the Mediterranea collection by Medaarch.
Last but not least, Medaarch has dedicated space to professional training opportunities for students, startups, companies, and makers looking to grow through digital innovation and hands-on training based on experimentation, research, and digital innovation.
In summary, it's an immersive experience to explore the beauty and charm of Made in Italy 5.0 talent, complemented by the integration of digital technologies through which the involved companies have found a unique and innovative way to engage.
The space at Maker Faire Rome, created by Medaarch in collaboration with WASP and Lab Mac - who have provided their cutting-edge technologies for the three days (particularly, WASP brings the 40100 Clay Production and the 3MT HDP) - reproduces the structure of the Center for Digital Craftsmanship in Cava de' Tirreni, the first in Italy entirely dedicated to revitalizing Made in Italy through the digital transformation of businesses and artisans.

Syntesi – Semantic Summarization
Faire: Rome
Maker: Babelscape
Syntesi is an advanced summarization solution based on semantic understanding, designed specifically for the newspaper industry. This system not only recognizes and semanticizes the main concepts of an article, but goes further by identifying named entities, deciphering the emotions inherently expressed in the text (such as joy, anger, and admiration), categorizing the content according to specific domains (e.g., sports, politics, entertainment), and detecting the tone of the language (whether it is offensive, vulgar, etc.). In addition, the system generates a summary with the key content of the article. The end result is an incisive and multifaceted summary that captures the essence of the original article in its various facets.
At Maker Faire we will present an interactive demonstration of Syntesi in action on various newspaper articles. Our goal is to highlight how semantic analysis can serve as an important tool for the newspaper industry.

Ternary Computer System
Faire: Rome
Maker: Claudio La Rosa
We design a new type of microprocessor, which works with ternary logic (instead of the usual binary).
The immediate benefits of the ternary are:
Compact information much better (than binary system);
It reduces the size of the chips (especially the memory, which today occupies most of the surface).
Our idea offers technological advantages that enable a great leap forward in traditional processing and supercomputing.
It is optimally applied to the emerging fields of artificial intelligence and the brain-machine connection. Some neurobiological research groups are implementing neural networks with modeling of neurons using three states, because this better matches the activity of neurons.
We design, write specifications (ISA) and implement ternary microprocessors.

SANITRON, SANIFICATORE AUTOMATICO PER CARRELLI DELLA SPESA
Faire: Rome
Maker: Cristian Vendra
Innovate is an innovative start-up operational since 2020, one of the projects created is sanitron, a device that automatically sanitizes the shopping trolleys used in supermarkets, warehouses, shopping centers and all points of sale that use trolleys to make purchases. The handles of shopping trolleys, in use at points of sale, are a real receptacle for germs and bacteria, this is because they are touched by many people every day, and are rarely cleaned, all this is ascertained by numerous scientific studies which highlight the danger. Today there are systems where the operator manually inserts the trolley inside a box, sanitizing it entirely; alternatively, we proceed through manual sanitization with disinfectant products by an operator.
Sanitron is the effective solution for sanitizing trolley handles, an easy-to-apply system that will be positioned in the areas where shopping trolleys are stored in warehouses, on the separation structures of the various rows of trolleys, with height-adjustable supports. The device is composed of an external aluminum casing in which the sanitization units are contained and a panel, inside which the logic control (PLC) and all the electrical, electronic and hydraulic components are contained. The device is applied directly where each user places the trolley together with the others, having a sanitization unit for each available trolley; when the user puts the trolley away and hooks it with the chain, a sensor, through the logic control (PLC) will detect the continuous presence (for more than 20 seconds) of the trolley handle, the continuous presence and the timer serve to avoid accidentally starting a sanitization in the event of a simple passage in front of the sensor; once a continuous presence has been detected, sanitisation will be activated by spraying the disinfectant solution precisely on the handle of the trolley for approximately 3 seconds. Once sanitisation is completed, a green LED will light up to indicate that the ready-to-use trolley is disinfected , the trolley handle will also be dry in a few seconds; this procedure is repeated for each trolley available in the area and will be activated through the consent of a safety sensor, detecting that there are no people in the sanitization area, in case there is the presence of one or more people who should keeping trolleys in the area will disable the operation of the sanitization cycle (in order to avoid accidental spraying in the presence of customers and operators); This device has undergone numerous safety and durability tests with positive results, and is also close to CE marking.
Customers of supermarkets and sales outlets are the protagonists of this idea, and will be very satisfied to see how one of the objects in common use most contaminated by germs and bacteria can finally be disinfected in the most effective way on the market.
