R13 Technology, company established in 2014 as spin-off of the Department of Industrial Engineering and Information of the University of L’Aquila has just inaugurated new headquarters taking up about 300 sq. m., inside the Technopole of Abruzzo, in L’Aquila.
«The company’s core business was initially focused on the design and manufacture of electric drives for motor control. In time the company has evolved, working also at the design of customized measuring systems. In recent, post Covid, years we have engaged new professionals who have allowed us to engineer and to manufacture wearable devices for the monitoring of vital parameters and to produce electric machines. For some years now, R13 has also bought a production line for the automatic assembly of electronic boards», told Flavio D’Innocenzo, sole director of R13 Technology.
Caring in each design phase
R13 Technology can assist customers in the development of electromechanical systems, from the feasibility study until the implementation and validation of prototypes.
«We take care of customers in each design phase. Since we were born in the university world, we stand out for a design-oriented character. If customers describe us the problem to be solved, we can assist them since the early phases, from the design on paper until the product manufacturing», D’Innocenzo specifies. The company can release only design files, production files, assist customers during the certification phase, share mechanical design specifications and, finally, if necessary, it can transfer the design to production. The complete and integrated approach is possible due to the force of a team highly skilled in electric and electronic engineering: the synergy among group members is fundamental to assure innovative and reliable solutions.
Large and innovative headquarters
At present R13 Technology has two headquarters: a registered office, at Technopole of Abruzzo, in L’Aquila, where they also carry out design activities, and a production site at Pianella, 15 km far from Pescara.
The interior of the new location host, besides the open space area dedicated to design, a large meeting room, various offices for managers, a new laboratory with warehouse. There is also a wellness and refreshment room, with kitchen, coffee, table football and sofas where the staff can sit and relax between one work activity and the other.
«In our company, people and their requirements are priority compared to work. The new headquarters are located in a real oasis of tranquillity, inside Abruzzo Technopole. They face a lake with a fine green area. Furthermore, we rely on dedicated parking and air conditioned in the whole building», D’Innocenzo comments.
Speaking on the goals, the company set the bar up: within next three years, tripling the current turnover, increasing it from 1 million Euros to three millions and the strict collaboration with the University of L’Aquila will go on in the future.
