What Ocima does

Ocima S.r.l. is an Italian industrial automation company founded in 1990 and headquartered in Caivano, Napoli. The company designs, develops, and constructs custom machinery and systems for the automation of industrial processes, serving both national and international enterprise clients across six application sectors: Medical, Food, Automotive, Packaging, Energy, and Smart Card manufacturing. Core capabilities span industrial robotics, automated assembly lines, and bespoke production systems, with technical work spanning mechanical, electrical, and electronic component development.

The business operates on a sales-led, project-based model in which each engagement begins with a feasibility study and 3D project design, proceeds through in-house mechanical component construction and assembly at the Caivano facility, and concludes with testing and post-sale support. The offering is organized around "Progetti Personalizzati" (custom projects) tailored to client-specific production requirements, with no standardized product catalog or publicly disclosed pricing. Revenue is generated one-time per project under a quote-based pricing model determined by scope, complexity, and specifications.

Ocima complements its commercial activity with an active R&D program conducted in partnership with Italian research centers and universities. The company has participated in multiple publicly funded projects including B.A.R.T.O.LO. (robotic biopsy), PROSCAN (prostate cancer diagnosis), ComESto (community energy storage), PICOePRO (integrated industrial processes), SATIN (therapeutic platforms), ROBILAUT (autonomous underground robotics), Ro.Mo.L.O. (hospital logistics), and SI.FI.PA.CRO.DE (innovative pharmaceuticals). The firm employs 11-50 people and remains privately held with no disclosed external funding, revenue, or ownership structure.
