Sharknet
Customer Overview
The company Sharknet, is today’s leading exponent in the field of pleated insect screen production, which constitutes an original product, leader in the national market.
Founded in 1979, as well as having patented pleated nets, the result of an innovative idea, the company has increased its productivity, thanks to the idea of processing its products through the use of pleating machines set up in its production centres.
This has made it possible to speed up the operational stages of production, eliminating the need to call in external companies.
The company also extends its services to the entire Italian territory, starting in the north and reaching the southern regions.
Project Overview
The need for Sharknet, was to monitor all the various stages of production progress in order to have complete control over process times and costs.
Analysing the flows involved, the characteristics of the product and the environment, we used RFID technology, thanks to which there was an increase in productivity and a 99% reduction in errors.
In particular, the system installed allows the tracking of 4 processing phases:
Phase 1 – Beating: assembly of the aluminium profiles and the insect screen
Stage 2 – Drilling: drilling of the net and fixing to the supports
Step 3 – Closing: application of customised customer finishes
Stage 4 – Assembly of finished product: insertion of components for installation and packaging and preparation for shipment.
Benefits:
Real-time production control
Reduction of management costs
Immediate verification of shortages and surpluses
Drastic reduction of human error
Elimination of paper for document management
- Thanks to Infinity-ID we are now able to track production progress, increase control and improve day-to-day operations
Sorley
Customer Overview
Sorley, a talented company in the hosiery sector where the quality of the materials meets scrupulous management of all production stages, and traditional processing combines with the most innovative machinery for results that are absolutely out of the ordinary.
From the weaving of the fibres to the manufacture of the hosiery, all production steps are strictly Made in Italy.
Project Overview
The project arose from the need to digitise work that was previously carried out through manual counting and writing by the operator, in order to save time, costs and reduce errors.
In doing so, Sorley not only achieved accuracy in counting the goods, but also made the process faster and more convenient.
This is all thanks to RFID technology that can read thousands of items without any human intervention.
With just one ‘beep’, in fact, entire packages can be read and catalogued in a short time, reducing handling errors exponentially.
Unlike before, when only a quarter of the goods were identified, as everything was done manually.
Benefits:
Drastic reduction of human error
Immediate verification of shortages and surpluses
Elimination of paper for document management

Moleskine
Customer Overview
Moleskine is a global benchmark as a chain of creative writing products. It was founded as Modo&Modo, a small Milanese publishing house which, in 1997, brought the original notebook back to life by registering the Moleskine® trademark. Moleskine Srl was listed on the Milan Stock Exchange in 2013. The brand was then acquired and delisted by D’Ieteren in 2016. Today, the Moleskine company employs 500 people and has an extensive partner network.
Project Overview
The project stemmed from the need to have tags that would fit all the merchandise types of the Moleskine group and the exclusion of classic vertical barriers at the entrances.
Thanks to the implementation of RFID technology, we were able to install very discreet ceiling-mounted antennas that are appreciated in design, which is becoming increasingly demanding in terms of the aesthetics of points of sale.
Benefits:
Traceability of package movements within the plant

Immediate verification of shortages and surpluses
Elimination of paper for document management
Automation of goods receipt and dispatch procedures
- Introducing RFID technology for enhanced in-store security
Electro Adda
Customer Overview
The request from Electro Adda, a leading manufacturer and marketer of electric motors, was to speed up the process of sending and receiving their products.
The biggest problem was the nameplate data (the only way they could identify each motor, the technical data was indicated on each one) which was not clearly visible and therefore difficult to read and trace.
In addition, it was impossible for them to even identify the products before they were numbered, i.e. directly from the supplier.
When analysing the complete flow, the characteristics of the products and the environment, it was decided to use RFID technology.
Project Overview
The system we decided to implement is as follows:
Identification + outsourced printing (products arrive at the company already labelled by suppliers)
Department logistics for tracking products within the plant
Inbound and outbound product shipment management. All while avoiding hand searching for barcodes
Item finder, an application that allows items to be searched via hand-held RFID devices even before they are catalogued with the nameplate data (previously they used simple paper labels)
Benefits:
Tracking the entire supply chain, directly from the supplier
Complete management of product shipment, input and output
Optimization of product identification times
- Thanks to InfinityID, we are able to track the entry and exit of products, reducing errors, increasing control and improving daily operations.

Traconf
Customer Overview
In the new distribution center of Traconf built for Armani in Verona has been implemented a system branded InfinityID that allows you to reduce the time of search for an item in a warehouse of over 25,000 square meters.
After an in-depth analysis of the business processes of the customer’s reality, it emerged that, due to a very high turnover of garments and the continuous requests from marketplaces and retail, it is increasingly difficult to keep up to date the information on the management. Consequently, the actual location of the items in stock is not always precise.
Project Overview
Hence the need to have a tool to quickly identify the position on the ground or at home of every single item in stock, without risk of errors.
Thanks to RFID technology and the implementation of the InfinityID Item Locator solution, when the product code is inserted on the portable device, the operator is guided with a beep to the requested item, without risk of finding the wrong product.
Benefits:
Speed in finding the article
Improved performance of operators
- Thanks to the InfinityID Item Locator solution, our operators can find the required product without wasting time!
Ciocca
Customer Overview
An INFINITYID project for the automation of logistics procedures has been developed for CIOCCA, an icon of Italian hosiery manufacturers with more than 20M of socks sold every year. Today, thanks to industrial traditions and innovative capabilities, it is the reference point for this product category.
The project was born from the need to trace all movements to and from external laboratories.
Project Overview
As a result of numerous contract processing operations, the need for a traceability system emerged more and more that would speed up administrative procedures and ensure the reliability and accuracy of the data relating to movements.
Along the sorting line, RFID read TUNNEL was inserted in order to automate the counting procedures and to verify the integrity and veracity of the information inside the package on each individual checkpoint.
