Each year, Morello invests significant resources in research and development. Keeping pace with new technologies and integrating them into our products is a continuous process.
Morello has built a global reputation based on solid engineering expertise. Applying advanced technologies to custom-build projects requires analysis, planning and experience, and is a strategic priority for Morello’s engineering team.
This approach to industrial R&D and engineering allows the company to develop customised heavy-load handling solutions that respond to the real operating needs of its clients, combining technical feasibility, safety, reliability and long-term performance.
MORELLO’s R&D process: from design to testing
Morello’s R&D process begins with the analysis of the customer’s application. The engineering team evaluates the load, dimensions, center of gravity, operating environment, route, safety requirements and level of automation needed for the project.
This first phase is followed by mechanical, electrical and software design, with the support of advanced engineering tools. In the field of heavy-duty cart engineering, every detail must be studied carefully, because the machines are designed to move very heavy loads in demanding industrial environments.
When required, the design process includes FEM simulation to analyze structural behavior, verify critical components and optimize the machine before production. This helps support the development of reliable solutions for high-capacity applications.
Prototyping and testing are also part of the development process. Morello validates new components, new technologies and customized functions to ensure that each solution meets the expected performance, safety and productivity requirements before being delivered to the customer.
Custom design R&D for advanced industrial machinery
Given the highly customized nature of Morello’s machinery, custom design R&D is essential. Every project can involve new developments, new components, sustainable technologies and improved productivity standards.
Morello’s Technical Project Office is at the forefront of these developments. The team is composed of engineers specializing in different fields, including mechanical, electrical and software engineering.
As clients seek greater productivity and higher safety standards within tight cost constraints, Morello responds with continuous innovation. Client challenges motivate the company to develop its technology on an ongoing basis, focusing on practical solutions that can improve the efficiency and safety of heavy-load handling operations.
Applying new technologies to heavy-duty applications
To maintain its leadership position and reputation, Morello has extensive experience in applying new technologies and performance standards to its custom-built machinery.
The challenge lies in knowing how and when to apply a specific technology to ensure reliability and safety in the context of heavy-duty industrial applications. Morello has developed strong expertise in this area over many decades. In fact, the company’s technology timeline has progressed steadily since it was founded in Italy in the 1940’s.
This continuous industrial product development allows Morello to integrate advanced technologies into its machines while keeping the focus on operational reliability, safety and real benefits for the customer.
Productivity And Cost
MORELLO’s Technical Project Office is at the forefront of all new developments. The team is composed of engineers covering different fields from mechanical to electrical to software engineering among others. As our clients push for greater productivity and safety standards within tight cost constraints MORELLO must respond to the challenge. Our clients’ challenges motivate us to develop our technology on a continuous basis. Given the extremely customised nature of our machinery we respond by focusing on new developments, new components, new sustainable solutions and new productivity standards on a weekly and monthly basis.
R&D Focus & Commitment
Morello is committed to investing resources in several key technology areas:
– AGV’s and Automated material handling
Automation has always been a key driver of productivity. Depending on specific project requirements, automated solutions can deliver significant benefits to customers. Morello is equipped to deliver complete automation solutions, analysing the client’s working environment and proposing a suitable automation project. The company has numerous success stories in which its proprietary software and on-board technology have delivered excellent value to customers.
– Green energy: electric traction motors, latest-generation batteries and hydrogen power
Manufacturing companies are increasingly moving towards greener solutions. The factory of the future will be a zero-emission environment. Morello has built its machinery strategy around reducing emissions and delivering increasingly sustainable solutions. The latest development projects focus on hydrogen power and the benefits it can provide.
– Latest Safety Technologies
Reducing accidents and eliminating operator errors are key priorities for Morello. Applying the latest sensor technology is therefore of critical importance. The objective is to achieve zero damage to both people and infrastructure, and Morello is at the forefront of the drive towards higher safety standards.
– IoT and Industry 4.0
Connected machinery and data management are at the centre of Morello’s latest developments. The application of smart technologies and the integration of Morello’s solutions into a client’s digital transformation process are now a standard part of project development. The benefits are numerous, ranging from remote assistance and AGV project management to improved machine productivity data, to name just a few examples.
R&D - at the heart of MORELLO
Research, development and new technologies are part of MORELLO’s DNA. From the very beginning, the company was founded on engineering excellence. Today, the new MORELLO generation ensures that new technology development remains at the heart of the company’s success, strengthening its global position and reputation for the future.
