Industry 5.0 tax credit: we deliver the technical side. You deliver the measurable energy savings.
Italy's Transizione 5.0 program rewards companies that digitize and cut energy use. We design the automation and supervision architecture, capture the data the certifier expects to see, and stay alongside the company through reporting.
Three benefits that compound, starting month one.
Tax credit on Industry 4.0 capex + energy efficiency
Higher rates than the standard 4.0 regime, conditional on measurable energy savings. The more consumption you cut, the larger the credit awarded.
Stackable with other incentives
In many cases Transizione 5.0 stacks with renewable self-consumption rebates and regional tools, amplifying ROI.
Consumption visibility that pays back fast
Even without the tax benefit, tracking consumption and OEE reduces waste, unplanned downtime, and line energy costs from the first operating quarter.
Engineering work that produces the data the program requires.
Every intervention is built to do two things at once: cut consumption and generate the measurable documentation the certifier will asseverate.
Energy consumption monitoring
PAC3200/PAC3220/PAC3225 diagnostics, dedicated gateways, SCADA integration: a solid consumption baseline per line, process, and shift — the dataset the certifier expects.
MES with OEE and process losses
Availability, performance, quality: OEE is computed from field data, not estimated. Losses surface by cause and shift, and translate into measurable corrective actions.
Energy-aware SCADA
Dashboards with per-machine consumption, alarms on absorption anomalies, pre/post baseline comparisons. The same SCADA layer serves operators, supervisors, and energy managers.
Predictive maintenance on process data
Vibration, temperature, current draw: early anomalies become planned interventions. Downtime drops, critical assets last longer — with consumption and scrap reductions on top.
Shop-floor HMIs oriented to savings
Operators see what drives consumption and quality: changeover, scrap, downtime. They become active in cutting losses, not just program executors.
IT/OT integration for reporting
Field data aggregated and available to ERP, energy reporting systems, and certifying bodies where needed. One coherent, traceable source.
Four steps, from baseline to certification.
- Step · 01
Assessment and baseline
Site visit, line mapping, identification of energy-intensive equipment, consumption baseline. Without a baseline there is no certification possible.
- Step · 02
Technical design
Schematic of the digital architecture: PLC, SCADA, MES, energy gateways. Documentation the certifier will use for asseveration and the company will retain for audits.
- Step · 03
Implementation and commissioning
Installation, configuration, integration with existing systems, operator training. Commissioning with verifiable KPIs and a post-intervention baseline.
- Step · 04
Certification support
Full technical documentation, pre/post consumption data, support to the appointed certifier. We continue to monitor the plant via secure industrial teleservice.
Concrete answers before you book the credit.
What changed between Industry 4.0 and Transizione 5.0?
Transizione 5.0 keeps the tax-credit framework on Industry 4.0 assets but adds a condition: the investment must generate a measurable reduction in energy consumption (≥3% at site level or ≥5% on the affected process). The digital side is combined with efficiency measures and, in some cases, renewable self-consumption. The tax benefit scales with the energy savings achieved.
Which of IOMA's technical interventions qualify for Transizione 5.0?
MES and SCADA systems that measure OEE, process losses and energy consumption per line; point monitoring of electrical loads via Siemens PAC meters or dedicated gateways; predictive maintenance based on process and vibration anomalies; shop-floor HMIs that highlight waste; ERP integration to close the Plan-Do-Check-Act loop. Every intervention is designed to produce measurable data consistent with the baseline the program requires.
Does IOMA handle the asseverated technical report?
The asseverated technical report is the responsibility of a qualified professional (chartered engineer or certified Energy Manager / EGE) or a certifying body. IOMA provides all technical documentation, network diagrams, system specifications, pre/post energy baselines, and operational support so the certifier can produce a solid report. We already work with trusted certifiers in Piedmont and Lombardy and can connect them to the company.
What are the deadlines for Transizione 5.0?
Credit bookings are open until December 31, 2025, while reporting on completed investments is due by February 28, 2026. Exact deadlines and access procedures are subject to MIMIT implementation decrees and FAQs — always verify the current dates on the official portal before booking.
Can Transizione 5.0 be used to upgrade a plant already in production?
Yes. The program covers both new investments and retrofits on existing lines, as long as they produce measurable energy savings. Typical retrofit work on plants in production: replacement of obsolete PLCs and drives with energy-aware architectures, addition of SCADA for consumption monitoring, MES to reduce scrap and downtime, and predictive maintenance to extend the life of critical assets.
Rates, thresholds, and deadlines for Transizione 5.0 are set by MIMIT decrees and can change with implementation circulars.
