The company is able to supply punches and dies for bending presses made of  hardened steel. The range  of products includes tools such as:

Caramella Multimedia is a spin-off of Porrini s.r.l., operating in the transport and logistics sector.

From the world of transportation and related needs comes Metropoli: a suite of GPS controls developed for the management of activities related to the mobility of workers.

What distinguishes Metropoli from other GPS control systems is the use of common smartphones that do not require the installation of hardware or interfaces or other modifications.

La neo impresa ha sviluppato e commercializza CELESTINO, dispositivo intelligente dotato di micro sensori che permettono il monitoraggio della quantità e della qualità di due fluidi in particolare: la risorsa idrica domestica (linea AGUA) e il carburante (linea FUEL).

Celestino permette quindi il miglioramento della qualità delle emissioni in atmosfera grazie al controllo della reale composizione del carburante immesso nel serbatoio, oltre a ridurre il consumo idrico potabile tramite controllo delle quantità consumate.

The company develops services for the digital twin of products throughout the supply chain processes.

Specifically, thanks to the digitization of the product, the company is able to provide a solution that not only facilitates the classic monitoring activity, but also allows the different actors involved in the chain to build services with high added value.

DELPROSENS was formed in late 2011 by researchers of the Department of Chemical Science and Geology at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Its corporate mission is to develop and bring to market amperometry-based sensors and non-conventional methods of analysis for the control of chemical parameters. Its work is primarily based in the food industry, metal treatment, paper and pulp production, fermentation processes, and waste and drinking water treatment.

Starting out in academic laboratories, due2lab s.r.l. brings its top-level research expertise in Physics, Electronics and Materials Science to the manufacture of innovative devices, particularly in the field of ionising radiation detection.
