President expects manufacturers to act

“Now, with the Industry 4.0 Plan, included in the already approved Budget Law 2017",stated Massimo Carboniero, "the Government gave the country a well-structured and comprehensive programme of industrial policy. Confirmation of the Super-Depreciation at 140%, introduction of the Hyper-Depreciation at 250%, re-financing of the New Sabatini Law, increase from 25% to 50% of tax deductions for R&D activity are the pillars on which the programme is founded”.

In particular he mentioned the re-confirmation of the Super-Depreciation at 140 %. With that the companies using machinery and production systems could rely on an incentive to renew thier total machinery and increase the number of machines installed in their industrial plants, which - according to recent surveys - often turned out to be obsolete. On the other hand Carboniero mentioned the Hyper-Depreciation at 250%, that is aimed to support the enterprises' technological and digital transformation according to the "Industry 4.0" model. According to the president, the provision is intended to stimulate the introduction and spread of systems linked to one another within the same factory or between systems of a single factory and other external systems".

“On the basis of these clear and evident differences," Carboniero added, "the machine tool manufacturers will have to take active steps to understand and keep up with new and different customers' requirements in the best way, while providing, if necessary, an upgrade of the supplied technologies, so that they can ensure interconnectivity”.

“This is a great challenge," President Carboniero concluded, "but the Italian manufacturers will be able to take it on, also because a good part of machine tools are already set up to support digital systems”.
