New scenarios for developing cooperative platforms for local manufacturing

This paper analytically connects the theme of collaboration, with an emphasis on the historical production structure of the Emilia-Romagna region and the increasing spread of cooperative platforms. This analysis gives rise to reflections on the characteristics and processes that distinguish the object systems from research. The multitude of instruments that appear in the research underlines the partial coverage of the area of the specific project, which is characterized by the complex process that relates raw materials to the logistics of distribution by the systems and the companies based on cooperative platforms. Within this research area, this contribution aims to elaborate some guidelines for the development of these systems on the subject of welfare, the relationship between collaborative and cooperative forms and the future application of artificial intelligence in the assessment processes that are crucial for the design of innovative models of cooperative platforms for processes of product creation and management.
