What SCE does

SCE Srl is an Italian industrial electronics manufacturer founded in 1978 and headquartered in a 21,000 square meter technology park in Modena, Italy. The company designs and produces customized electronic systems for industrial automation across four core product lines: (1) Industrial PCs and Monitors spanning Panel PCs (ASSIST L), vehicle-mounted PCs (NAVILOG), stainless steel PCs (INOX) for food and pharmaceutical sectors, embedded PCs (SHOT), VESA PCs (M-RED), and rugged tablets; (2) Lithium battery packs using LiFePO4 chemistry with proprietary Battery Management Systems including the M12 modular master-slave architecture and ZD all-in-one BMS for electric vehicles and energy storage; (3) UPS and static converters (CROMO series, spanning 600VA to 100kVA) plus DC/DC converters and lithium energy storage systems; and (4) Custom electronics for industrial automation including CNC controls, EtherCAT-integrated boards, and tailored hardware-software solutions. Approximately 80% of products are customized to customer specifications, with 100% outgoing product testing and an engineering workforce representing 40% of staff.

SCE operates a direct enterprise sales model with multi-year contracts and technical engagement throughout the product lifecycle from design to post-sale support. The customer base spans ceramic manufacturers, food and pharmaceutical processors, paper plants, logistics operators (AGV/LGV), stadium infrastructure providers, and medical equipment makers. Distribution is primarily through the in-house technical and commercial team supplemented by trade show presence (SPS Parma, MECSPE Bologna); geographic reach is concentrated in Italy and broader Europe with no claimed global footprint. Revenue derives from hardware sales across the four product lines plus engineering and technical services, with quote-based pricing on customized solutions. SCE holds ISO 9001 quality certification and acquired Convertitori Statici in 2004 to build its power electronics capability.
