Robotics, Italy is growing

Italy and Europe are growing in terms of robotics.

Within the next three years, in Italy, 87% of production companies will use second-generation robots.
This is what emerges from the recent study of the BCG Advanced Robotics in the Factory of the Future, concerning the degree of diffusion of robotics in manufacturing companies.
Europe, and in particular Germany, France and Italy have shown a propensity for the integration of this technology, superior to those that traditionally are first movers in the process of spreading technological trajectories, such as the USA (80%) and Japan (72%).

Action plan

The same study showed that most of the companies interviewed do not have an action plan that allows their integration in the short to medium term. In fact, only one in five companies in the sample analyzed established a strategy aimed at digital reconfiguration of the production process.

Strength points

Also according to the BCG, a critical success factor is represented by the presence of high specialized skills, both as regards the initial integration process of the robotic units in the single production context, and to maintain constant efficiency and use in the long run period.

Automated Solutions

The solutions of Automate and the ways in which they are proposed are constantly innovated in order to offer the most technically efficient solution, without neglecting the passage of tacit knowledge which, once explicit, can increase the value of the workforce and consequently of our customers.

Italian Automation Fair: Automate present

Italian Automation Fair: Automate this!
Also this year our company has participated in forces to SPS Italia, the Italian innovation fair, held in Parma.
The fair was a great opportunity to discuss and discuss issues related to Industry 4.0 and the digitalisation of companies with various stakeholders in the sector.

The numbers

The increase in terms of exhibitors (+ 6%) and visitors (+ 18%) compared to the previous year testify to the strong growth that is characterizing the world of automation.

The news

The potentials of different technologies have been put on display, the skills and skills necessary for companies to be able to implement the most innovative applications have been highlighted. Furthermore, we discussed the technical characteristics of the most experimental products. We have thus analyzed the technological opportunities and at the same time we have been able to identify false positives.

The Automate experience

Automate solutions and the approach with which they are customized around the needs of their customers fits perfectly with current and upcoming industry trends. Our value pro position consists of offering services and products that can generate a clear competitive advantage in the short to medium term.

SPS Italia was an opportunity to consolidate our relationships with the biggest providers and operators in the sector, partners and friends with whom we share experience and success for many years now!

Road to SPS2020!

Industry 4.0: Automate intermediary in technology transfer

The term Industry 4.0 indicates a trend in industrial automation that integrates some new production technologies to improve working conditions, create new business models and increase productivity and production quality of the plants.

An interesting investigation carried out by Shell Italia on a sample of 400 companies in the production sector, he highlighted how companies are increasingly acquiring digital awareness in an industry 4.0 perspective.
94% of the interviewed actors declared that they use at least one enabling technology of the new technological paradigm, against a European average of 86%.

Innovation yes or no?

However, obstacles still persist in the innovation process of many realities.
One of the major difficulties for the companies surveyed is the training of personnel directed towards the use of new technologies, as well as the lack of trusted experts to whom to ask for support.

In accordance with the literature of the sector, the in-depth analysis shows that the purchasing determinants in technology are changing, not involving mere technological products, but projects and processes aimed at satisfying specific needs.

The role of Automate

Automate, in this sense, is aware of its role as intermediary in technology transfer.

Our offer, in addition to including a highly personalized service, includes a training activity tailored to the needs of our customers, aimed at a continuous collaboration through which to share knowledge and core competences. With a strong innovative spirit, we always adapt our proposals to the current and upcoming needs of our customers with the aim of offering constantly updated solutions in line with industry developments.

It is a challenge that we carry out in the awareness that industrial automation that integrates new technologies is fundamental to make companies perform in any sector of activity.

Automate is pleased to announce its membership of the CSIA association.

Archa: The future of the construction world

The future of the world of construction and cultural heritage comes into Automate house thanks to the close collaboration with ARCHA srl, a company specialized in the use of virtual and augmented reality technologies at the service of the world of architecture and cultural heritage.

Future projects see the two company fronts involved in the creation of products that project visitors into cultural spaces in virtual reconstructions of the ancient world. An example of this is the virtual reconstruction of the medieval city of Ninfa, today the most known as the most beautiful garden in the world. The integration of virtual reality technologies with remotely controllable automation systems for the realization of exhibition spaces is in the final design phase. At the end of the guided tour of the garden, visitors can be virtually transported in 1381, the year of the destruction of the ancient medieval city. They will once again be able to admire the 40-meter bell tower of Santa Maria Maggiore in Ninfa, virtually restored to its former glory and then stroll through the reconstructed ancient course of the city.

Other brilliant initiatives will come to life from the close and fruitful collaboration of the two companies, which aim to strategically position themselves on the market spaces offered by the digital world.

Automate and Callipo

Agreement for the development of the performance analysis and plant monitoring system

New challenge for Automate which was chosen by Callipo for the development of the data acquisition system and performance analysis of its plants.
The Automate solution will be developed on a platform Wonderware System Platform, responds to the customer's need to centrally manage several factories, distributed throughout the territory, guaranteeing the customer the acquisition of data from the machines and their presentation via the web ..

The solution will allow timely tracking of the tuna steak cutting process with the help of RFID technology, with over 5000 tags to be installed and 350 antennas to be arranged.

It is an ambitious and innovative project in which the choice of Callipo, rewards Automate's ability to offer state-of-the-art "global" solutions.
