CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY74 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 1 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comThe strategy aims at turnkey systems, tailor-made for prefabrication plants and large infrastructure works. This approach has transformed Oli into a true technical partner, involved from the early design phases, no longer a simple supplier of components but a central player in the definition of the process.To support this evolution, Oli has chosen to invest significantly: a substantial part of its EBITDA is allocated to research and development, fueling (today) five new product projects in the study and engineering phase. These are solutions that look at greater efficiency, sustainability, digitalization and intelligent integration with customers' production processes.Artificial intelligence as a strategic leverAmong the most innovative strands is the use of artificial intelligence, considered by OLI to be one of the decisive levers for revolutionizing industrial vibration. AI, integrated with existing systems, will make it possible to:%u2022 automate vibration management in the most delicate phases,%u2022 reduce downtime and energy waste,%u2022 improve the quality of the finished product, thanks to continuous and adaptive controls,%u2022 optimize the working conditions of operators, reducing manual interventions and repetitive activities,%u2022 reduce overall production and maintenance costs.In a sector such as infrastructure, where production rates require precision and continuity, the impact of artificial intelligence can be considerable: systems that learn from the behaviour of concrete, that regulate the frequency autonomously, that communicate with precast plants and report critical issues before they turn into defects.It is a future in which vibration will no longer be just a phase of the process, but a set of data, algorithms and sensors, capable of giving continuity and added value to each jet.A look ahead to 20262026 promises to be a crucial year for Oli, marked by significant growth and a strategic expansion of its technological offering. The new products currently under development %u2014 the result of investments in research and innovation launched in recent years %u2014 are set to substantially strengthen the company's presence in two key global markets: the United States and India.In the North American market, Oli will introduce a product designed specifically for the needs of the United States, tailored to meet the operational characteristics of the local industry. This new solution will offer significant benefits in terms of efficiency, reducing energy consumption, running costs and waste.Also used in the production of concrete tunnel elements
