Smart Manufacturing
Manufacturing companies have historically focused on improving the efficiency of their production processes to produce more, faster, all while reducing costs. Circular economy requires a new manufacturing approach that leverages technology to collaborate more effectively with the entire ecosystem.
Our Capabilities
Digital transformation creates profound opportunities for manufacturing - from the integration of business processes with human activities and data from work centers and machines, to more tight collaboration with supply chains. Our services take into account clients' needs and help create a strategy that leverages technology to create competitive advantage.
Industry 5.0
Industry 5.0 is a well-known concept, yet only a few companies have taken action despite seeing its potential value. Digital technologies are completely remodeling industrial production processes, providing greater flexibility, increased productivity and higher quality.
We guide companies in the transition towards their “Future Factories”, starting with people across the enterprise and, only then, focusing on the technologies that could be more helpful to support employees working with complex equipment and processes and ultimately, to do more with less.
Plant-Level Data Tracking and Work Center Integration
Effective strategic decision making depends on the ability to extract and analyze the data from different sources at different levels. Providing data and information to key stakeholders both at the plant level and at a global consolidated level is essential to analyze performances so that production steps can be optimized, reducing waste and production costs.
We help companies starting from data integration, to the design of the reporting model and front end implementation, leveraging the best in class of the shelf software solutions.
Manufacturing Performance Optimization
Efficiency is one of the most important goals in the production environment. Keeping the system running effectively, optimizing the usage of resources and materials is only possible through the support of the digitalization of production processes and the integration with work centers and machines.
We help our customers optimize the performance of their production by leveraging our experience in MES and data-to-machine integration combined with process and functional capabilities.

To stand out in today's highly competitive market, having an effective make-to-order approach is essential for ensuring that each company's products are distinct and unique.
Our team of experts provides a well-rounded combination of advisory, process, and technical skills to help our clients create the most effective strategy to meet the demands of the market while maintaining a customer-centric approach.
As a service Business Model
Servitization is a primary enabler of Circular Economy, and surely one of the top strategies for companies who are willing to increase their profitability while being sustainable. As-a-service business models allow the shift from selling a product, to selling the value of that asset to users in need.
We help companies explore this opportunity - from the analysis of their current business models and operations, to the design and actual implementation of new as-a-service models, leveraging digital technologies and our proprietary methodology to activate new revenue streams.
Industry 4.0 Transition
Industry 4.0 is a well-known concept, yet only a few companies have taken action despite seeing its potential value. Digital technologies are completely remodeling industrial production processes, providing greater flexibility, increased productivity and higher quality.
We guide companies in the transition towards their “Future Factories”, starting with people across the enterprise and, only then, focusing on the technologies that could be more helpful to support employees working with complex equipment and processes and ultimately, to do more with less.
