Industry 4.0 and vacuum cleaner systems: tax credit for new technologies

Transition 4.0 2022 confirms, and extends, the tax relief model started in 2017 for innovative interconnected assets, referred to as 'Industry 4.0' assets.

Industrial suction and cooling systems, if equipped with filtration, are in fact included in the tangible assets 4.0 Annex 'A' of the budget law, for which the incentive is confirmed to the extent of 50 per cent (no longer 40 per cent) of the purchase cost of the complete system with a total value of up to EUR 2.5 million.

The term Industry 4.0 refers to the process of industrial automation that aims to create smarter, faster and more efficient production departments. In other words, the goal of this 4th industrial revolution is to implement a series of transformations to achieve smart, automated and networked production systems.

A new way of producing and organising work, that of Industry 4.0, thanks to a mix of advanced technologies covering four fundamental digital aspects:

• Data collection and analysis. Application of predictive analysis technologies such as machine learning, thus enabling maintenance that anticipates and prevents breakdowns and plant shutdowns.
• Connections between machines thanks to technologies such as cloud computing, machine-to-machine and the Internet of Things;
• Human-machine interaction made even simpler and more intuitive by touch interfaces;
• Technologies that make the transition from digital to real, such as 3D printing and robotics.

 

But which air extraction and air treatment systems are eligible for Industry 4.0 concessions?

• All the centralised suction systems for the purification of fumes, dust or fumes provided that a filtration system is present, e.g. with bag or pocket cartridges. The reason is very simple: in addition to having a plant->company interface, the 4.0 system must be able to monitor in real time the status of the filters and any other components such as probes, solenoid valves, etc.
• All the industrial air treatment plantswith particular reference to cooling systems intended for air conditioning of warehouses or large buildings, of great interest to our customers who wish to operate machinery and operators in a temperature-controlled environment.
