sedApta offers a Suite of integrated solutions for planning, execution, and optimization at all levels of the Supply Chain.

For this sedApta thinks of a 3D riven Manufacturing ( Data, Digital, Demand ), to which the implementation and use of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence algorithms add further value.

SMART MANUFACTURING MADE EASY

This is the mantra that guides the sedApta team in its product development, in collaboration with the partner ecosystem and in the realization of projects with our customers.Today more than ever, manufacturing companies must be supported by innovative tools that allow them to control supply chain and factory production processes with concrete information. This is only possible through a combination of innovative technology and a modern methodological approach, verticalized by the product sector to which each company belongs.

But this is not enough! sedApta can leverage an entire ecosystem of partners with specific skills, thereby expanding and completing the team’s skills and becoming the core value of our projects. E pluribus unum : out of many, one!
