Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
Irrom Industrie finalised the construction of a production hall for tubular steel radiators in Iclod (Nord-Vest region, Cluj county). Production here began in April 2005, though according to company estimates full capacity will not be reached until 2007, when it will employ 200 people.
Irrom Industry is a member of the Italian group Irsap, a producer of steel radiators.
The factory will have a new production line, as part of an investment worth €400,000.
‘The new production line forms part of our development plans for this year. We currently work on a single production line using three shifts and 50 employees – 30 more than at the beginning of the year. Assuming there are no problems, we expect the new line will be operational by September 2005’, Irrom general manager said. He added that the number of employees at the plant will rise to 100 by the end of 2005
Irrom is also planning to establish a national sales network during 2005. 90% of the company’s current production in Cluj is exported abroad.
