Turnkey industrial automation, from the process to the machine in production.
Bring us a production problem and we deliver the solution that solves it: special machines, end-of-line systems and complete lines, designed, built and commissioned. The mechanical side is built with a network of engineering and manufacturing partners; automation, software and data are ours. For you it is one contract, and IOMA answers for the whole project.
One contract, one contact
From the first site visit to acceptance you deal with one person, and IOMA answers for the whole project: not four quotes to reconcile and four suppliers to align when something doesn't add up.
The machine is integrated from day one
PLCs, HMI, safety and data collection are designed together with the mechanics, not bolted on later. The link to MES, ERP and WMS is part of the supply, not a second project.
CE marking and documentation included
Risk assessment, operating and maintenance manuals, declaration of conformity and CE marking are part of the delivery. The machine arrives ready to produce, not ready to be brought up to standard.
Ready for Industry 4.0 connectivity
Connection to plant systems and remote diagnostics are the requirements for Italian capital-goods incentives: we design them in from the start rather than certifying them afterwards.
Process engineering
Before the machine, the process: cycle times, flows, layout, changeovers, the choice between manual, semi-automatic and automatic. Sometimes the best solution is simpler than the one you had in mind, and it pays to know before building it.
Special machines
Custom machines for assembly, inspection and testing: part feeding, insertion and screwdriving, in-line measurement and quality control, functional test benches.
End-of-line and material handling
Conveyors, accumulation and buffers, spirals, tippers and diverters that link machines together and carry the product through to packing and palletising.
Complete lines and revamping
Several stations working as one plant, at production rate; or an existing line brought back up to date, with mechanics, panels and software redone together instead of one at a time.
Site visit and process analysis
We come to the plant, look at the process, measure times and constraints. The outcome is a feasibility study with the proposed solution, lead time and a price: no cost until signing.
Mechanical, electrical and software design
3D design, wiring diagrams, automation and data architecture, risk assessment. We review the design together before building.
Build and factory acceptance
The machine is built and tested in the workshop with your parts (FAT), so problems are found before it reaches your floor.
Installation and commissioning
Installation in your plant, start-up, site acceptance test (SAT) and training for operators and maintenance staff.
Data and support in production
Remote support, spare parts, service; and if needed the machine talks to ARIA, our MES/SCADA platform, from day one.
IOMA, main contractor
Process analysis, overall design, automation, robots, software and data, project management, testing and commissioning. You answer to us, and we answer to you.
Our partner network
Builders we work with on our projects, chosen by type of machine: mechanical design, construction, pneumatics and hydraulics, electrical panels.
You
One contract, one contact, one acceptance test. No interfaces between suppliers to manage.
Stand-alone stations turned into one line
See the caseMore than 15 stations from an electric-motor machine builder coordinated into a single plant, at series-production rate.
Multi-product line: changeover from 45 to 8 minutes
See the caseWe took over a stalled line from another supplier: several variants on the same structure, recipes from the ERP.
Emergency revamping of a handling line
See the caseA line for leavened bakery products had stopped, with end-of-life controls: back in production in two months with new PLC, safety and software.
Turnkey solutions are for manufacturers. If you build the machines yourself, we work inside your machine, not in its place: PLCs, motion, HMI, robots, on-board software and supervision, as we have done for years with builders of machines and lines.
What does turnkey automation mean?
Who builds the mechanical part?
Does the machine carry CE marking?
Do you also work on existing lines and machines?
How long does it take to get the machine?
Can we start with process engineering only?
Do you also do just the automation of a machine?
Got a project in mind?
Describe the line and the problem on a 30-minute technical call: we tell you straight away whether it's in our wheelhouse. We typically reply within 24 hours. From the first call to commissioning, you speak to the same person.
