CDZ COMPOSITI: Industry 4.0 in a carbon fiber components company

THE CHALLENGE: innovating in composite manufacturing

Founded in 1986, CDZ Compositi Srl specializes in developing and manufacturing high-quality carbon fiber components. Over time, the company has expanded its expertise across Motorsport, Automotive, Sporting Goods, and Design & Fashion industries. Moreover, its in-house production capabilities—ranging from press molding to robotic finishing—allow for exceptional craftsmanship and efficiency.

CDZ’s ambition has led the company to optimize its production processes. For this reason, from 2022 to the present, it chooses to upgrade its fleet by integrating and digitizing the following machines:
N. 3 Electric Press Machines
N. 1 Robot Machine

Such digitization enables the company to automate the management and monitoring of production orders while taking advantage of the tax benefits provided by the Italian Transition Plan 4.0.

THE SOLUTION: customized digitization

In line with the evolving Industry 4.0 standards, CDZ Compositi opted to install RETUNER®, the new digital solution for planning, advancing, monitoring, and accounting for machining operations in production, which includes MES software designed specifically for SMEs operating in the composites industry. As a result, the company achieved seamless interconnection across their production equipment and enterprise systems, facilitating real-time data flow and leaner operations.

BENEFITS:operational efficiency and visibility

Thanks to RETUNER®, CDZ Compositi unlocked several advantages:

• Multiprotocol interconnection with existing and new machinery, enhancing interoperability.
• Real-time monitoring and control, leading to proactive production management.
