Need

This company from the Verona area, which has been operating in the automation market since 1978, specialises in the design and construction of automation, control, supervision, and Manufacturing Execution Systems. The company set out a need to verify that its products meet the technical requirements for eligibility for the European "Industry 4.0" plan.

The Technical Report was accompanied by a Declaration of Conformity of the products, in accordance with the provisions of the Industry 4.0 plan and the related concessions that can be applied for.
