With over thirty years of experience in the design and production of electronic systems for industrial automation, Sertech Elettronica reaffirms its role as a competent and reliable technology partner for manufacturing companies and machine builders.
On-site technical presence: direct observation and stakeholder dialogue
The visit to IPACK-IMA allowed Sertech Elettronica to collect qualitative data through direct observation of applied technological solutions in primary and secondary packaging, automated handling, quality control systems, traceability, and real-time data management.
Particular attention was paid to:
-
integrated automation architectures, with distributed electronic modules and industrial communication protocols (EtherCAT, CANopen, Modbus);
-
advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI) with predictive analysis and diagnostics capabilities;
-
artificial vision systems and machine learning applied to in-line quality control;
-
embedded electronic components for product traceability and serialization in food, pharma, and cosmetics industries;
-
smart sensors for real-time data acquisition and production cycle optimization.
These areas are not only core competencies of Sertech Elettronica, but also represent strategic fields for future product development.
Qualified networking: interactions with machine builders, integrators, and industrial stakeholders
