“For what concerns the new company – adds mr. Cavirani – the unique software platform will make us the single contact-point for our customers.
Let’s not forget that factories in the next future will need more and more flexibility to adapt to evolving market challenges: this is why the Information Technology feature - that is “the brain” that manages, anticipates and controls the different processes – is not only pivotal but is the core itself of the fourth industrial revolution.
The partnership with Replica Sistemi is strategic: our shared expertise and know-how will turn into full automation and integration of our customers’ factories”.
