MADE Competence Center Industry 4.0:
A digital and sustainable factory
MADE is a Competence Center for Industry 4.0 created to implement Orientation, Training, and Finalization activities for technology transfer projects with companies on Industry 4.0 issues.
A technical interlocutor that companies can turn to for support during the digital transition to a smart factory. The first contact with companies that are not aware of the Competence Center’s offerings is that of orientation during which we engage companies to increase their awareness on Industry 4.0 issues with the aim of developing training paths dedicated to technicians, but also to the strategic profiles of companies and carry out technology transfer projects.
The ultimate goal of the Competence Center is to keep the profile of companies high, competitive, and sustainable.
MADE is a reality created by MISE (Italian Ministry of Economic Development) to support manufacturing companies on the path of digital transformation. It guarantees a broad panorama of knowledge, methods, and tools in the area of digital technologies. From design to product engineering, production management, logistics, and end-of-life management, MADE provides its space and expertise to serve businesses.
