Imagine an industrial reality where every element, from the machine to the software, interacts in a fluid and intelligent way. Where modern manufacturing challenges can be met by creating flexible, high-performance plants that are perfectly integrated with standard solutions and customized technologies. It may sound like science fiction, but this is integrated automation: a mix of connected technologies, artificial intelligence and smart workflows that is revolutionizing the world of automation.

Imagine a unique company that offers both, standard and customized solutions. One that perfectly integrates standard systems and tailor-made developments. This is at the heart of OSAI Automation System S.p.A. Società Benefit’s approach to integrated automation: a customized ecosystem that adapts to specific customer needs, without sacrificing the solidity and reliability of proven technologies. By integrating hardware, software and intelligent systems, OSAI develops advanced solutions for Industry 4.0, combining engineering precision with strategic vision.

There are many benefits to integrated automation solutions in an industry that demands ever-higher levels of quality and flexibility: higher productivity, improved accuracy and quality, flexibility and customization, reduced operating costs, better data and decision management, sustainability and energy optimization. These are all factors that make its adoption essential for the competitiveness.

A concrete example is Osai’s automated and flexible PLC production and testing line, which combines advanced robotics, traceability systems and quality testing. This line includes:

  • NeoRouter Modula: a depaneling module that performs high-precision cuts, avoiding damage to electronic components. This proven Osai solution has been part of the company’s portfolio since 2015 and is suitable for the mechanical in-line separation of PCBs, offering high flexibility and fast configuration, ideal for both mass production and high variability batches.
  • Two shuttles that provide a continuous and automated production flow by transporting PCBs between different processing stations.
  • DMC Reader for PCB traceability, to ensure real-time component tracking for improved quality and production control.
  • 6DOF (six-degree-of-freedom) robot with dual gripper: capable of manipulating PCBs with high precision, ideal for the automatic loading / unloading of components at test stations.
  • Two end-of-line test (EOLT) stations: they perform acceptance tests on PCBs to verify the proper functioning prior to shipment, including electrical, functional or durability tests.
  • A rack: contains the equipment required for EOLT testing, including diagnostic and quality control instrumentation.
  • Output system for tested PCBs: conveys PCBs into KLT containers, which are used for the safe transport of electronic components.

As the experience of OSAI A.S. S.p.A. shows, integrated automation is not only a technological issue, but a real strategy for industrial evolution. The integration of standard and customized solutions, the ability to connect heterogeneous systems, and the constant focus on innovation make OSAI’s approach a benchmark for those who want to meet the challenges of digitalization in a concrete and customized way.

In a context where flexibility, efficiency and interoperability make the difference, focusing on integrated solutions means investing in the future, competitiveness and sustainability. And Osai Automation System, with its vision and expertise, is ready to lead the way with companies that choose to innovate.

Osai, where ideas become technology.
