Italian digital technology for manufacturing and Industry 5.0
Fibre and SD-WAN connectivity for plants and supply chains, VMware-based private cloud, managed cybersecurity for OT/IT convergence and Smart Manufacturing solutions to guide Italian manufacturing companies towards the intelligent factory, on a proprietary infrastructure entirely within the national territory.
Italian manufacturing needs a single infrastructure foundation for the intelligent factory.
For those who produce, technology is no longer a detail: production lines, warehouses and management systems stop if the network or the systems fail to respond. With Industry 5.0 the factory takes a further step and, beyond measuring, learns to use its own data to work better.
Retelit is the Italian operator that makes all of this available through a single proprietary infrastructure: a fibre network, 38 data centres in Italy, cloud, security and solutions dedicated to the factory.
For a manufacturing company, three things matter above all: continuity of operations, recovery time and control over where their data ends up.
We provide a single, entirely Italian foundation on which to grow the factory's digital projects without depending on suppliers outside Europe.
The requirements of manufacturing companies.
Italian manufacturing is evolving towards the intelligent factory, as the Politecnico di Milano Observatories have long described. Behind this transformation lie three very concrete requirements: a reliable network between sites, the protection of plants and a solid foundation on which to grow digital projects.
Connecting plants, sites and suppliers
Plants, warehouses, offices and suppliers form a chain that lives on the network. When a connection drops, logistics, product traceability and the dialogue between management and production systems come to a halt. What is needed is widespread, reliable connectivity, able to bring new sites online quickly and to keep machine traffic separate from office traffic, so that production is never slowed down.
Protecting plants and production data
In factories, the networks that control machines and plants are increasingly connected to the company's IT systems. This is an advantage for efficiency, but it opens the door to new risks, because many machines are built without protections and end up exposed. Manufacturing is now among the sectors most affected by cyber attacks: protecting it means knowing the weak points, separating networks and keeping what happens under control, also in order to comply with the obligations of the NIS2 directive.
A solid foundation for the intelligent factory
The intelligent factory does not stop at measuring: it collects data, interprets it and helps people make better decisions. Sensors, connected machines and production analytics need a reliable foundation, with computing power close to the plants and rapid response times. Having a single point of contact for network, cloud and security simplifies projects and brings them into production faster, with fewer suppliers to coordinate.
The Retelit solutions for the Manufacturing sector.
We provide manufacturing companies with six solutions that work together: the network between sites, wireless connectivity where fibre does not reach, plant security, cloud for management and business applications and solutions for the intelligent factory. All on a proprietary infrastructure, entirely in Italy.
The fibre network that connects all sites
A proprietary fibre network that connects offices and plants, managed simply from a single panel thanks to SD-WAN technology. The most important applications always have priority, new sites are activated quickly and machine traffic stays separate from office traffic. All on an Italian network, with security already included.
Discover the serviceThe protection of factory plants and systems
We verify where the factory is most exposed with targeted tests that simulate the behaviour of a real attacker. From there we help to separate networks, close weak points and keep plants under control, also in order to comply with the obligations of the NIS2 directive. It is a path suited both to small companies and to large industrial groups.
Discover the serviceThe cloud for management and production systems
A cloud dedicated to SAP management systems and to the applications that govern production, hosted in our data centres in Italy. It is designed for systems that cannot stop: service continuity and data recovery are always included, and it is managed by a specialised Italian team. This keeps the most important programmes always available.
Discover the serviceThe solutions for the intelligent factory
We help companies bring Industry 5.0 projects into production by networking sensors, machines and data. Together with Fanuc Italia it is possible to monitor and control machines and robots in real time, while a 5G network dedicated to the plant reliably connects a large number of devices and communicates with the programmes that manage production, with people always at the centre.
Discover the serviceThe private cloud for business applications
A private cloud in our data centres in Italy for the company's most important applications, with high performance and data that stays under national control. It is certified by the National Cybersecurity Agency and integrates with the systems already in use, bringing computing power close to the plants to manage the data collected from machines and equipment.
Discover the serviceConnectivity even where fibre does not reach
Not all plants and warehouses are reached by fibre. With our dedicated radio network we bring fast and stable connectivity even to the most isolated industrial areas, with very low response times. It can work as the main link or as a backup line, so that a plant is never left without a network.
Discover the serviceCompliance and standards for digital manufacturing
We operate within a certified perimeter subject to periodic independent verification. Our data centres, operational processes and managed services are aligned with the main regulatory requirements of the Manufacturing sector, from the European cybersecurity directives to the technical standards for the security of industrial automation systems.
