General information
- Short Summary
- Italian ICT company with more than 20 years’ experience in asset management solutions, developed a software to optimally manage all production processes. The company is looking for new foreign partners under commercial agreement with technical assistance.
- Full Description
-
SME located in North-West Italy, founded in 1995 as internet solution and web related services provider (such as website development, e-mail and hosting), progressively expanded its business to the asset management sector (i.e. management and optimisation of corporate assets).
In this context, the company has developed a Manufacturing Execution System (MES) software aimed at fully managing and controlling industry 4.0 production processes. The software addresses production planning needs by ensuring a bidirectional exchange between machines and factory IT systems in order to monitor and optimize the production process. In details, the company’s solution allows to interconnect machines, manage orders, automatically detect and correlate operational data, providing real-time indicators.
Main target sectors and related software features are:
• Wine/vinegar/oil production plants and bottling machineries manufacturers: grape collection and pressing systems; winemaking systems (autoclaves, equipped with temperature, pressure or level control systems); weighing systems; bottling/packaging line machines; electrical panels for measuring consumptions (electricity/water/air and gas);
• Manufacturing industries: amortization of the purchase of new machineries; bidirectional data exchange between company Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and plants; production line digitalization; reduction of plant downtime and waste batches, traceability of production batches, efficiency of production and energy consumption;
• Pharmaceutical: monitoring of production and systems for real-time identification of energy consumptions for each machine in the production area; tracking and tracing of individual packages avoiding production or plant downtime;
• Transport/logistics: Optimization of internal logistics (recorded data allows to identify the start of a manufacturing order, calculate times and anticipate the transport order); optimization of external logistics (stock levels monitoring and forecasting and anticipating supply needs); direct assignment of transport orders.
The technology is already on the market; about half the projects implemented so far by the company have involved wineries, oil mills and vinegar factories and their bottling lines with production capacities ranging from 20.000/30.000 bottles to few millions. Company business is therefore well established in Italy, where direct relationships with the major manufacturers of bottling machineries have been established.
The Italian SME now wishes to further expand in the EU and beyond and establish new partnerships under commercial agreement with technical assistance. Ideal partners are system integrators active in the above mentioned sectors, as well as distributors with technical background and specific market knowledge. Countries with consolidated wine/vinegar/oil production (France, Spain, Portugal, Greece etc…) are the company’s main target, but requests coming from other EU and extra-EU countries will be also evaluated. - Advantages and Innovations
-
• Data collection and historicization in a single platform (e.g. history of production times, quantities and waste to enhance production efficiency; history of consumption and plant processes etc.);
• Integration with other enterprise software;
• Development of a predictive maintenance policy;
• Digitization and reduction of paper use. - Stage of Development
