Staer Sistemi

What Staer Sistemi does

Staer Sistemi, founded in 1953 in the Professional Electronics sector and headquartered in Italy, designs and delivers sophisticated industrial hardware and software solutions for real-time monitoring and control of critical infrastructure. Following its 2021 acquisition by Olivetti — the IoT digital factory of Gruppo TIM (Telecom Italia) operating under TIM Enterprise — the company now operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary and serves as the dedicated Industrial IoT/SCADA arm of the group, with a team of R&D designers focused on custom hardware/software development for infrastructure digitalisation.

The core technology stack combines proprietary custom hardware and software with market products, delivered through SCADA systems, NB-IoT smart metering, M2M Smart Connectivity and, increasingly, Big Data Analytics on top of TIM's mobile/5G network (supporting up to 1 million connected devices per square kilometre). Solutions target verticals where infrastructure reliability and operational efficiency are critical, including Water & Utilities (e.g., leak detection and consumption monitoring for the Municipality of Rende), Industrial Manufacturing (e.g., Smart Factory 4.0 with predictive maintenance at Cornaglia Group), Telecommunications, Oil & Gas, Broadcast, Energy and Transport.

Commercially, Staer Sistemi monetises through a mix of recurring IoT services/subscriptions, one-time custom hardware and software licences, and professional services for system integration. Go-to-market is executed via Olivetti's established Italy-wide indirect sales network of Concessionari, Dealer Vad, Solution Partner, Distributori and Rivenditori — complemented by the 'Best for' certified dealer program — providing nationwide technical and commercial coverage. The company relies on key technology partnerships (SECO as preferred IoT supplier; Alleantia for Industry 4.0 integration; NTT DATA for Smart Water Management) to extend solution breadth, while complying with PSTI, RED DA cybersecurity, GDPR and CCPA requirements for connectable devices.
