Relatech and EFA Automazione at SPS Italia 2026: the data-driven factory, from edge to cloud

At SPS Italia 2026 - the trade fair for smart, digital, and sustainable industries, a key event for the Italian manufacturing sector - Relatech and EFA Automazione are showcasing a concrete vision of a connected, data-driven factory. This end-to-end approach integrates Operational Technology and Information Technology along a single path, from data generated in the field to its valorization through digital platforms, cloud computing, advanced analytics, and artificial intelligence.

We look forward to seeing you at Fiere di Parma from May 26th to 28th (Hall 5 | Stand G005).

The availability of data generated by machines and systems is no longer a new topic. The real challenge today is to transform this data into tangible value. Collecting information isn't enough: it must be accessible, analyzable, and usable to guide operational and strategic decisions in real time. This is where the integration of OT and IT comes in, enabling increased visibility of production processes, improved operational efficiency, and truly data-driven decisions. This is the foundation of Relatech and EFA's proposal, an approach that lies at the heart of the concept behind their participation in SPS Italia 2026, structured around what can be defined as the three pillars of the factory of the future.

CONNECTIVITY AND EDGE INTELLIGENCE

Data originates in the field: that's where it must be managed first. We're previewing the new Ewon Edge HMS, which brings processing capabilities directly to the machine, enabling advanced remote management and new business models based on servitization. Alongside, the entire industrial connectivity stack: from Anybus to Kepware, from OPC Router to HighByte, up to advanced Beijer Electronics HMIs.

INDUSTRIAL DATA PLATFORM

From OT data collection with Inductive Automation's Ignition, to advanced processing with Microsoft Fabric, to visualization for decision support, the Industrial Data Platform closes the data lifecycle, correlating production, energy, and supply chain data, and transforms industrial information into actionable insights. With Sepasoft for the MES and Microsoft as a strategic partner.

OT CYBERSECURITY AND COMPLIANCE

INIS2, Cyber Resilience Act, and machinery legislation: the European regulatory framework requires companies to act today. EFA Automazione supports businesses with an integrated approach that begins with assessment and ends with secure-by-design planning, with a technology ecosystem that includes HMS Defender, AMDT's Octoplant for asset management and versioning, and Relatech Cloud Security solutions.
