For machine builders today, service is no longer limited to troubleshooting and after-sales support. It is increasingly becoming a strategic layer around the machine itself, strengthening customer relationships, enabling new digital services, and enhancing the long-term value of the installed base.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the direction Rosa Ermando chose to pursue together with symmedia.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1964, Rosa Ermando<\/a> is an Italian manufacturer of high-precision grinding machines. Following the acquisition of Favretto in 2017, the company further expanded its expertise in surface grinding technology while continuing to invest in innovation and digital transformation.<\/p>\n

What began as a practical service initiative soon evolved into a broader strategic project.<\/p>\n

Once Davide Lucca, General Manager of Rosa Ermando,<\/strong> recognized the potential of symmedia Hub as a digital service ecosystem, the conversation quickly moved beyond individual features and toward a larger vision.<\/p>\n

What additional value<\/strong> could be created around the machine? Which types of machine data could become truly meaningful for customers? And how could service<\/strong> itself become part of the machine\u2019s overall value proposition?<\/p>\n

Starting from these questions, Rosa Ermando identified several possible development paths and defined an initial set of priorities. In less than two months,<\/strong> together with symmedia and Intelligentia<\/a>, the company delivered the first version of Service+ at GrindingHub 2026,<\/a> the international trade fair for grinding technology,\u00a0 integrating remote support, document management, an Energy Monitoring dashboard, and symmedia\u2019s AI Agent into a single digital environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Challenge<\/strong><\/h4>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

The initial objective was straightforward: improve service efficiency, simplify access to technical documentation and remote support, and strengthen customer engagement after machine delivery.<\/p>\n

The real challenge, however, was broader than simply adding new digital tools. The goal was to avoid fragmentation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In many industrial environments, machine data, technical documentation, service history, and remote support systems operate separately from one another. As a result, valuable information remains isolated, limiting its usefulness for both machine builders and customers.<\/p>\n

This is where symmedia Hub<\/strong> provides a clear advantage: by bringing together service processes, documentation, dashboards, applications, and machine-related information within a single secure and scalable digital environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Collaboration<\/h4>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

The project combined three complementary areas of expertise.<\/p>\n

Rosa Ermando<\/strong> contributed the industrial vision and deep understanding of customer needs, identifying the most relevant use cases for the grinding machine sector and positioning service as a strategic element of the machine offering.<\/p>\n

Intelligentia<\/strong> brought expertise in sensor technology, data acquisition, energy monitoring, and dashboard development, transforming raw machine signals into meaningful and actionable service insights.<\/strong><\/p>\n

symmedia<\/strong> provided the digital platform infrastructure<\/strong>. Through symmedia Hub, all components were integrated into a secure and user-friendly service ecosystem that combines remote support, document management, external dashboards, service applications, and AI-powered assistance.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the platform established a scalable foundation capable of supporting future digital service developments over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Success<\/h4>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

At GrindingHub 2026<\/strong>, Rosa Ermando unveiled the first operational version of Service+,<\/strong> powered by symmedia Hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than presenting a purely conceptual showcase, the company demonstrated a tangible service environment built around concrete operational needs. Remote support and document management formed the platform\u2019s service backbone, while the Energy Monitoring dashboard introduced\u00a0the first data-driven application. The AI Agent, meanwhile, showcased a new approach to making technical knowledge more accessible and actionable for service teams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Ein<\/p>\n

\n

The objective was not to present a fully completed ecosystem, but to outline a credible and scalable direction for the future, one in which machine data, technical support, energy monitoring, and company knowledge converge into a unified digital service experience.<\/p>\n

Early feedback from Rosa Ermando already points to measurable value. According to the company\u2019s first estimates, around 60%<\/strong> of software-related issues<\/strong> detected on machines equipped with edge devices have been solved through the platform. Customers have also reported a high level of satisfaction<\/strong> with the tool, particularly appreciating the simplicity of communication and the possibility to access a complete, easily searchable history of service requests, spare parts, and related activities.<\/p>\n

The speed of execution also became a defining aspect of the project. In an exceptionally short timeframe, Rosa Ermando, symmedia, and Intelligentia moved from an initial service concept to a market-ready demonstration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The project showed that machine builders do not need to wait for large-scale digital transformation programs before generating value from data. Instead, they can begin with targeted use cases<\/strong>, validate them directly with customers, and expand progressively through a clear and pragmatic roadmap<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Outlook<\/h4>\n<\/h1>\n
\n

The GrindingHub demonstration marked only the beginning of the journey. Energy Monitoring represents the first concrete use case, providing greater transparency into machine behavior and energy consumption.<\/p>\n

Future developments such as an Event Recorder \/ Black Box system<\/strong> could make it possible to reconstruct machine conditions surrounding anomalies or unexpected events. Vibration Analysis and Condition Monitoring, meanwhile, open the door to predictive service models and improved production continuity.<\/p>\n

Within this roadmap, symmedia Hub<\/strong> serves as the digital foundation<\/strong> on which additional service applications can be progressively developed and integrated.<\/p>\n

The Rosa Ermando case demonstrates how digital service can become a powerful driver of value creation<\/strong> in machine building. With a clear vision, a secure digital platform, and the right technology partners, companies can move quickly, deliver measurable value, and build stronger digital relationships<\/strong> throughout the entire machine lifecycle.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
