Digital Transformation: Opportunities and Challenges for SMEs

Italian SMEs are increasingly leveraging digital solutions to address market challenges. Recent data shows that 65% of SMEs are heavily investing in digitalization, while 35% take a more cautious approach. Key obstacles include:

  • Lack of adequate digital skills.
  • Excessive bureaucracy.
  • Limited clarity in digitalization support programs.

In an increasingly competitive market, SMEs must start planning their next steps to accelerate their digital transformation and remain competitive.

In this context, the Zerynth Industrial IoT & AI Platform offers a modular and scalable solution that integrates IoT and AI, supporting SMEs’ digital transformation in a simple, fast, and secure manner.

Zerynth is a Manufacturing Intelligence Platform that collects operational data directly from machinery and transforms it into strategic KPIs to improve efficiency, sustainability, and operational quality. Thanks to its plug-and-play nature, the platform allows businesses to:

  • Monitor machine performance and energy consumption in real time.
  • Integrate ERP and MES systems, enhancing the efficiency of existing business processes.
  • Optimize production processes through advanced analytics, reducing waste and inefficiencies.

Zerynth is versatile, ideal for businesses taking their first steps in digitalization and for those already advanced in their digital journey.

For SMEs without MES or management systems, Zerynth provides a straightforward yet powerful starting point, enabling machine connectivity and data collection.

For businesses with advanced systems, it acts as a middleware layer, enriching MES and ERP systems with strategic insights.

Zerynth also guides companies toward Industry 5.0, enabling intelligent resource management. The platform supports:

  • Monitoring industrial systems and energy consumption to reduce waste.
  • Predictive maintenance to minimize downtime.
  • Compliance with regulations and access to incentives like the Transition 5.0 tax credit.

The Zerynth Way: a structured approach

Unlike traditional strategies that rely on detailed mapping of production processes, Zerynth begins by defining the essential KPIs of the data being extracted right from the start of machine connection.

For instance, monitoring a machine’s operational efficiency can be achieved with a simple clamp meter. This device collects key data, such as electrical consumption and operational status (on/off). The data is processed by a Zerynth Edge device directly on the machine, enabling insights like work cycle completion from electrical consumption profiles without requiring additional sensors.

Collected data is processed at the edge using advanced AI algorithms, optimizing information before sending it to the Zerynth Platform Core. Here, data is visualized and monitored in real-time via Zerynth Apps.

  • Connection and Monitoring: In the initial weeks, machines are connected and configured for monitoring.
  • Data Analysis and KPIs: Over the following months, the focus shifts to extracting strategic KPIs to optimize production processes.
  • Advanced Solutions: Within the first year, additional services such as trend analysis can be implemented, enabling data-driven decisions and continuous efficiency improvements.

This methodology allows businesses to tackle digitalization challenges with a scalable, customizable solution that accelerates their transition to full Industry 4.0.

Case study: Operational efficiency in Medical Sector

A leading pharmaceutical company faced operational challenges, including limited visibility into production assets, difficulty integrating machines of various generations (new, refurbished, and electromechanical), and the need to train staff on an innovative platform.

With Zerynth’s way, the company was guided through every phase of digitalization. Initially, Zerynth worked with the internal team to map key needs and identify strategic KPIs for monitoring. This approach enabled immediate value by facilitating remote monitoring of industrial systems within weeks.

The project advanced with machine connections and platform installation, enabling real-time data collection using non-invasive tools like clamp meters. This data was integrated with the existing management system, providing unified process visibility for decision-makers.

Strategic data analysis revealed opportunities for improvement, such as optimizing production cycles and implementing predictive maintenance. Continuous support from the Zerynth team ensured staff training, building internal capabilities for sustainable digitalization.

This integrated approach significantly improved operational efficiency: enhanced process visibility, reduced inefficiencies, and a robust data foundation for strategic decision-making.
