Simulation software included in Transizione 5.0 Measure for operational efficiency
Italian Companies looking to invest in innovation and process optimization have a unique opportunity: software can be included in the Transizione 5.0 measure, provided it is part of projects aimed at improving operational efficiency.
With the window for completing investments closing by 2025, Italian industry faces a crucial challenge in adapting to the Transizione 5.0 measure. During the Ambrosetti Forum, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni hinted at a possible extension, but the minister of enterprises and made in Italy, Adolfo Urso, clarified that without approval from the European Commission, deadlines will not be altered.
Key to digital transformation
The recent operational circular of August 16, 2024, clarified that software falls under intangible assets defined by law no. 232 of December 11, 2016, in annexes A and B. Specifically, the “allegato B typology table” lists 3D design software and software for robotic applications as tools eligible for the incentive. This includes software for modeling, simulating, and optimizing production processes, now part of the innovation framework.
Simulation and energy savings
Simulation software like FlexSim and Visual Components can play a critical role in optimizing production systems. These tools don’t directly monitor energy use but improve plant performance by identifying bottlenecks early in design. By boosting efficiency, they help reduce energy use, aligning with Transizione 5.0 goals.
These types of software fall under categories such as:
- 3D design software: tools for the 3D design, simulation, and verification of production processes, as defined in section 1.1 of the circular, which includes software for performance analysis and digital archiving of the product life cycle.
- Robotics software: systems that optimize the use of robots and intelligent machines in production lines, enhancing product quality and safety, and supporting predictive maintenance, as indicated in section 1.15 of the circular.
Simulation for a more efficient future
Even with only 15 months remaining, companies can still fully capitalize on this opportunity by using advanced simulation tools like FlexSim and Visual Components to optimize production processes. This not only helps in reducing energy consumption but also ensures a smoother transition towards more efficient and sustainable production systems.
