TXT Group: DigitaliA launches to strengthen the competitiveness of industrial supply chains through the adoption of Artificial Intelligence

Milan, June 8, 2026 – TXT Group presented today the project DigitaliA – Artificial Intelligence Applications (CUP: E29J25002650004) to strengthen the competitiveness of the agri-food and pharmaceutical supply chains on the occasion of a visit by Alessandro Fermi – Regional Minister for University, Research, and Innovation of Lombardy Region to the Group's headquarters in Cologno Monzese. The initiative, realized with the contribution of the Lombardy Region Regional Program of the European Regional Development Fund / PR ERDF 2021-2027, under the "Strategic Technologies - STEP" call, for an investment of approximately 5.5 million euros over 3 years, of which about 42% is for TXT e-tech, aims to support the resilience and digital transformation of two strategic sectors for the Lombard, Italian, and European economies.

In line with a broader European effort to enhance technological autonomy and the competitiveness of the continental industrial system through digitalization, the project entails the development of AI-based solutions designed to make production chains more efficient, flexible, and capable of responding to operational disruptions and critical issues along the value chain.

TXT will coordinate a consortium of Lombard companies to develop an integrated technological platform, engineered to overcome the data fragmentation typical of complex industrial environments and capable of supporting faster, more accurate, and sustainable decision-making. The platform will be built on an AI engine combining predictive, prescriptive, and generative functionalities, integrating advanced sensing – including e-nose sensors –, computer vision systems, deep learning, and edge computing. The project will project will allow TXT to leverage and scale its proprietary industrial solutions by introducing them to the market.

Development activities will include analysis, architectural design, testing, and industrial validation within real-world use cases across the pharmaceutical and dairy supply chains, with the participation of iSS and Caseificio Sangiovanni. Working directly within concrete operational contexts will enable the development of solutions that are already market-oriented and industrially validated.

In the pharmaceutical sector, DigitaliA will integrate clinical, operational, and commercial data into unified platforms, bridging information gaps among research, production, and distribution. The solution will support operational planning, demand forecasting, and supply chain management, helping improve forecast accuracy, optimize inventory, and streamline the entire life cycle of pharmaceuticals.

In the dairy supply chain, the platform will be applied directly to production processes via a smart dairy factory model based on continuous data collection and analysis. The system will monitor critical processing parameters and guarantee product traceability by integrating data from sensors and production plants, using predictive models to anticipate quality anomalies, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance quality control across the entire supply chain.

«As an international group deeply connected to its roots, we are proud to make a tangible contribution to strengthening manufacturing, a strategic pillar for our region, our country, and the European Union», stated Daniele Misani – CEO TXT Group. «The project – Daniele Misani continued – emerges at a time when industrial digitalization and AI adoption have become crucial levers for Europe’s growth and technological autonomy, where the continent still faces a significant lag compared to the United States and China. A gap that threatens to reduce the competitiveness of manufacturing companies, particularly SMEs, which are called to operate in increasingly complex and dynamic markets. With DigitaliA and thanks to the support of Lombardy Region, we will deploy and develop innovative, replicable solutions within the European industrial framework, accelerating digital transformation and bolstering competitiveness».

«I decided to organize this tour of Lombard enterprises to see firsthand how the resources allocated by Lombardy Region through its calls for tenders are being utilized», said Alessandro Fermi - Regional Minister for University, Research, and Innovation of Lombardy Region. «Today’s visit was the fourth of ten stops, and I must say I have been extremely impressed by the innovative capacity of our companies across highly diverse fields. Today, TXT Group demonstrated an application of Artificial Intelligence that I had not seen before, and I am very pleased – especially because, as the entrepreneurs emphasized, regional funding helps Lombard companies keep pace with global giants like the United States and China».
