The collaboration between Giacomo Martinelli and GP Progetti began over 20 years ago. GP Progetti has worked alongside Martinelli’s constant growth, installing the eNX suite with specific configurations to meet customer needs, up to the latest major intervention that definitively links the Giacomo Martinelli name to the concepts of smart factory and Industry 4.0. GP Progetti configured eNX based on inputs set out by the customer. It is not simply an internal planning of all processes (from acceptance to dispatch), but a tool that dynamically adapts to internal and external requirements.

How has Giacomo Martinelli grown into an Industry 4.0 smart factory?
Giacomo Martinelli’s achievements are significant and tangible thanks to collaboration with GP Progetti:
- Growth in turnover and employees The company’s turnover has been growing steadily over the years, which continues in this first trimester of 2019 compared to that of 2018. Last year, Martinelli’s team grew by 30% to 32 employees.
- Increasing the number of machines and expanding production thanks to the smart factory tools and the constant expansion of the machine fleet, Giacomo Martinelli produced 800 different items in 2018. The number of production units will increase from 40 to 42 by the first half of 2019.
- Improved business efficiency Giacomo Martinelli is significantly optimising efficiency thanks to the real-time production monitoring system installed by GP Progetti. With System 4.0, more than 3400 production batches could be monitored in detail in 2018. Of these, less than 0.5% were partially negative.
- Work account lead time of a few hours In 2018, Giacomo Martinelli moved to Passirano (BS) to a new production facility with 4000 square metres of indoor and more than 8000 square metres of outdoor space. The strategic proximity to the Ospitaletto (A4) motorway exit, combined with the management system installed by GP Progetti, guarantees customers a lead time not of days, but hours.
GP Progetti’s intervention with a smart factory and Industry 4.0 perspective enabled the introduction of timely notifications to interconnect all company departments. This allows not just technology for communication between machines, but efficient dialogues between all the business entities involved. The smart factory not only enables dialogue between machines, but also simplifies and makes communication between people working in the company more effective in order to optimise production and maintain consistent high quality.
