After technology and digitalization, today competitiveness in the industrial depends on another differential factor: customer orientation. Product and service customization, as well as the complete experience that a brand offers its customers, has a key role, as important as innovation and quality. This is why ESA Automation has designed and developed its Esaware range of industrial automation solutions based on the specific needs of customers.

SPS Italia 2018 is over and ESA Automation couldn’t be prouder. Three intense days of technology and conferences, during which we have connected more than ever with the world of Italian industry.

Parma, May 22-24 2018 – just a few weeks left to the beginning of SPS Italy 2018 and ESA Automation’s participation to the event. This year’s focus: automation and digital solutions for industry. A theme perfectly in line with our philosophy and the products that we have developed for Industry 4.0.

Due to the advancing digitalization, smart manufacturing becomes everyday more concrete. Thanks to digital technologies, in these past years manufacturing has evolved, reflecting more and more the ideal of Industry 4.0. Internet of Things and Big Data have become the focus of industrial automation solutions, aiming to make the production process more autonomous and efficient. This is what we call smart manufacturing.

In 2020 manufactures will invest of around 60 billion euros in IoT solutions (source: Business Insider). Realizing the enormous impact of IoT on energy efficiency and production, companies operating in any industrial sector aim to update their systems in accordance with the principles of Industry 4.0.

Investments for more than 10 billion euros in research, development and innovation by Italian companies. All latest data on the Piano Impresa 4.0 (“Plan Company 4.0″) seem to indicate a marked increase in manufacturing competitiveness. An important step towards the development of the Smart Factory in Italy.

Innovation and continuity: the new year has just begun, but it’s already clear what the main industry trends in 2018 are going to be. From zero waste to the fight against cyber attacks, these are the key ingredients that will define the new production.

When we consider the requirements of a 4.0 production, it is clear how real the need for software solutions for Industry 4.0 is. From projects design to maintenance and the efficiency of resources, we need systems that are created according to the principles of the fourth industrial revolution.
