Smart Buildings & Appliances is the focus which will define the 51st F.A.R.O. Club Meeting scheduled on July 5th and 6th in Fabriano. The event will be held in the headquarters of Elica, the multinational company world’s leading manufacturer of cooker hoods for household use..
The Meeting will be subdivided into two days focusing on different topics.

The aim is to probe the magnitude of the impact which IoT will have on electrical appliance manufacturers and the opportunities which will derive from this new, highly technological approach.
Italian manufacturing companies are more and more often forced to relate to a context teeming with important technological changes. In order to talk about this and many other topics the Discussion Panel was reinstated, during which the development and outlook of the industry will be analysed through the contribution of new important names and great comebaks, such as the Ducker Worldwide experts. During the debate great attention will also be paid to the impact of new lifestyles (connected life) and the possible effects on the metal segment, on components and on commodities being used.
