In today’s increasingly interconnected and technologically advanced world, businesses are constantly seeking new ways to innovate and provide cutting-edge solutions for their customers. The long-standing partnership between Cassioli and Siemens is an example of how synergy between two leading companies in complementary sectors can bring important results in terms of offering customers efficient and high-quality systems.
For over 30 years, Cassioli has relied on Siemens, a technology company in the manufacturing, infrastructure and mobility sectors, which in 2023 was rewarded with the prestigious title of Cassioli Gold Supplier at an event to celebrate our company’s 80th anniversary.
The award was received by Gianpaolo Vercesi, the Italy area manager for Siemens Digital Industries, and presented by our president Paolo Cassioli himself. It was awarded to 10 companies, selected from over 1000 suppliers from our network, for their outstanding contribution to making the Cassioli supply chain even more sustainable, innovative and quality-focused.
“Our collaboration with Siemens has been ongoing since the 80s”, says Carlo Cassioli, CEO of the Cassioli Group, “when we developed our first automation system, and it continues today with highly complex integrated solutions”.
Every automatic or semi-automatic system developed to order by Cassioli is the result of a precise interpretation of the customer’s needs, combined with the constant search for innovative technologies and meticulous attention to every detail. The collaboration between Siemens and Cassioli is key to identifying the most suitable components in view of the construction of machinery and innovative solutions for established or new applications, with the aim of improving performance and considerably reducing energy consumption.
Specifically in the tyre sector, it was important to create a “picker” for tyres – the Gantry robot – which was developed with Siemens, and which is now in its third generation.
For the Gantry, developed to move and store green tyres, Cassioli used Siemens’ SINAMICS S120 and, taking advantage of the perfect integration between Siemens solutions, SIMOTICS 1FG1 servo geared motors, which guarantee great performance with excellent functional stability. We particularly value the built-in safety features and the rapid set-up times, as well as management of the machinery using integrated kinematics in the CPU. Thanks to Siemens, we were able to develop a scalable machine that can interface with different systems and be adapted for a wide range of applications. Also highly valued is the connection with user interface systems developed on a Siemens base, geared to portability and ease of operation.
Thanks to its varied and comprehensive product portfolio, Siemens can support its customers in multiple goods sectors with different production needs, in line with the day-to-day challenges of the market.
“For us, Siemens is a strategic partner that has grown with us and with which we continue to collaborate on projects that are important to our customers, always with the highest levels of sustainability, reliability and innovation”, says Filippo Cassioli, Vice President of Automation for the Cassioli Group. “Always at the forefront in terms of technology, Siemens products have allowed us to significantly improve the performance of our machinery, which is considered the best in the sector and which requires highly technological components”.
The partnership between Cassioli and Siemens has therefore allowed both companies to achieve important results, giving customers the best value for money and always ensuring superb performance and a focus on innovation.
