Replica Sistemi - italian company specializing in the development of software applications for the Supply Chain Execution - and Elettric80 - leading company in the field of automated solutions for fast-moving-consumer-goods companies (FMCG) - on 4th December 2017 established a new company: SM.I.LE80.
SM.I.LE80, Smart Integrated Logistics, is the name of the software platform designed by the two companies: the very first platform worldwide allowing to manage logistics and supply chain comprehensively by fulfilling the goods handling requirements both manual and automated.
SM.I.LE80 offers end-to-end solutions for global consumer goods manufacturers, in particular in the food, beverage and tissue industries besides a variety of other environments, providing complete integration of those services required by a fully automated factory: from supervision and coordination of the robotics, up to workforce management and real-time monitoring of the whole system.
Lorenzo Guaschino, President of Replica Sistemi and CEO of SM.I.LE80 declares with satisfaction: “This partnership will enable us to explore new horizons and access new markets abroad with a comprehensive, advanced and unique solution: a single product offered by a 360 degrees provider able to manage both automated or semi-automated and manual plants.
We established this new company with Elettric80 since it’s the best player in the field driven by same values as ours: teamwork, ethics, strength, responsibility, customer and people orientation and continuous improvement. Automation and robotics are the present: our integrated unique solution will be the future!”.
“SM.I.LE80 meets the varied requirements of our customers efficiently and promptly reaching the perfect management of all internal processes of a factory” says Vittorio Cavirani, Vicepresident and General Director of Elettric80 and President of SM.I.LE80.
“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: therefore, 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”.
