  1. Introducing the Mechatronics Club Promoted by Reggio Emilia Industrial Association (part ofConfindustria, GeneralConfederationofItalianIndustry) Aimone Storchi – President(Davide Bezzecchi, secretary) October 2012

  2. Agenda • 1. Whowe are: AssociationofEntrepreneursof Reggio Emilia “Associazione Industriali di Reggio Emilia” – “Confindustria” and Mechatronics Club (Club Meccatronica) • 2. PromotingMechatronicsas a fast growing market • 3. The mechatronics cluster of Reggio Emilia • 4. “Club Meccatronica” of Reggio Emilia • 5. Profilesof the “Club Meccatronica” members (seeannex)

  3. About us: the Association of Entrepreneurs of Reggio Emilia “AssociazioneIndustriali di Reggio Emilia” represents approximately 750 manufacturing and service enterprises based in the province of Reggio Emilia (amounting to 41.000 employees). • Founded in 1945, Industriali Reggio Emilia is a voluntary association of companies which aims to represent, protect, promote and develop member companies and their interests. • It is the expression in the territory of Reggio Emilia of the Association of “Confindustria” (the Association of the Italian Entrepreneurs). • It brings together various sectors, from electrical to mechanical (machines and equipment), food, textile, ceramic tiles, rubber and plastic, construction and real estate, services. • The associated enterprises are mostly small and medium size enterprises (75% of them have from 1 to 50 employees). • Industriali Reggio Emilia to its associated firms offers Services: • The Association promoted in the 2004 the “Club of Meccatronica”.

  4. Reggio Emilia’s Province • Half milion of inhabitants • low unemployment rate 5.0% (before crisis 2.5%) • Workforce = 242.000 unit (98.000 in industries) • With over 58,000 enterprises (one every nine inhabitants) the province demonstrates a formidable entrepreneurial attitude. • high per capita income = 30.000 €/inhabitant (during 2009) • Export = 3.587 Ml€ (first quarter ’10) (+11% referred to first quarter ’10)

  5. 2.Why promote Mechatronics for the growth of the manufacturing companies? The Mechatronics as the combination of electronics, mechanics, automatism and embedded software, is actually a fast growing market and concerns more and more industries in their different technological evolution. Different technologies and manufacturing sectors involved specialized industry in products with high added value

  6. The Mechatronic Product The device control is managed by an electronic component typically embedded in the product itself. Control means the ability to adapt to the different operating conditions. Target Development of INTELLIGENT MACHINE 1. High performance in every condition 2. Energy saving 3. High safety for the operator Obtained by programming technologies

  7. MECHATRONICS = MECHANICS + ELECTRONICS + SOFTWARE The Mechatronic ProductWhatmechatronicsis

  8. The experience of Reggio Emilia system: Mechatronics Supporting System (promoted by Mechatronics Club) Integrated Stategy and Coordinated network of organisations to suport and promote the company needs (Students/Traininig, Universities, Research and Technology transfer, Laboratories,……..). 2. LOCAL AUTHORITIES + Chamber of commerce () SCHOOLS AND TRAINING Centers CIS + ITI Nobili ITS FOUNDATION (Schools, Training Center, Companies, University) UNIVERSITY’ of MODENA AND REGGIO EMILIA -Degree first/secondlevel on Mechatronics Engineering -Doctoralresearch MECHATRONIC CLUSTER (300 companies) Mechatronic Club (75 Companies) REGGIO EMILIA Technopole: Research Center forappliedresearch and servicesLabs on Mechatronics: Mechatronicforhydraulic system, mechatronicmaterials, mechatronicdiagnostics and maintenance, industrial eletctronicsystems, controlinteractionofrobotic and industrial systems INNOVATION CENTER AND SERVICES/TEST LABS Reggio Emilia Innovazione Emilia Romagna High Technology Network (10 Technopoles and 6 TechnologyPlatforms)

  9. 3.Characteristics of the Mechatronics Cluster Services with absolute flexibility and products based on customer’s requirements 300 enterprises: 150 (50%) producing finished products or mechatronic components (belonging to the “mechatronic core") 150 (50%) producing non-mechatronic components for mechatronic industries (belonging to the District known as the District subcontracting mechatronics of excellence). Main features of the Mechatronics Cluster of Reggio Emilia Number: 300 (150) Turnover: 6 Billion Euros Employees: 27.000 Forecasts on market trends Excellent for developing advanced and Hi-Tech solutions Strong aim towards internationalization
