AI Factory

Discover RINA's hub for digital transformation

RINA AI Factory

AI Factory is the engine of our digital transformation: a space where cross business experts explore, design, and validate solutions that enhance existing services and enable new ones, leveraging artificial intelligence and scalable data platforms. It is an innovation lab that experiments quickly and rigorously, with pilot projects aimed at proving feasibility and measurable value for the market. 

Aligned with our strategic plan, AI Factory accelerates innovation at scale and positions the company among the players driving the digital revolution in our industries. 

How we work 

We operate through “rooms”: dedicated workspaces focused on specific objectives (a service, a process, a capability), where multidisciplinary teams collaborate to design and deliver high impact developments. This approach ensures speed, focus, and clear accountability from ideation to deployment. 

Each room follows an end-to-end journey: 

- Scouting and discovery: opportunity analysis, technology benchmarking, and requirement definition. 

- Design and prototyping: solution design and prototype/PoC development.  

- Pilot and validation: controlled testing with business units to measure impact and readiness; 

- Scaleup and adoption: industrialisation on RINA platforms, performance monitoring, and continuous improvement. 

Continuous performance tracking and direct engagement of business units allow us to adapt roadmaps and priorities, ensuring sustainability and market relevance

Where we create value 

- AI enhanced services: automating repetitive, high-cost activities, improving analysis quality and consistency across sites and geographies. 

- Process efficiency: standardizing procedures, improving traceability, and enabling data driven decisions, reducing time and operational risk. 

- New digital solutions: creating digital native products and services integrated into client processes, addressing sustainability, efficiency, and competitiveness. 

What makes us different 

- Interdisciplinary expertise: technical, domain, and design skills combined to deliver value in production, not just in the lab. 

- Fast execution, solid governance: rapid experimentation with clear metrics and progressive validation, aligned with RINA’s industrial plan. 

- Trusted partner: acting as an enabler for clients, guiding them through industry dynamics and the adoption of emerging technologies.
