YASKAWA Italia

What YASKAWA Italia does

YASKAWA Italia S.r.l. is the Italian operating subsidiary of Yaskawa Electric Corporation (Tokyo Stock Exchange: 6506), a Japan-headquartered industrial automation group founded in 1915. Established in 1994, the Italian entity represents the group's Robotics and Drives, Motion and Controls divisions across Italy, operating from headquarters in Orbassano (Turin) with additional offices in Buccinasco (Milan) and Modena to serve northern Italy's industrial corridors. The company employs 51-100 staff in Italy and sits within a broader EMEA organization of 2,000 employees managed by Yaskawa Europe GmbH in Hattersheim, Germany.

The company sells and integrates an industrial automation portfolio spanning industrial robots (the MOTOMAN GP and AR series), motion control (Sigma-X and Sigma-7 servo systems, AC inverters/drives, MP3000 machine controllers, linear and direct-drive servomotors), control systems (VIPA PLCs, Smart Panels, panel PCs, Profichip industrial communication ASICs), and the YRC1000 robot controller. Supporting software includes MotoSim for 3D simulation and offline programming, MotoLogix for PLC-integrated robot control, and the SRCI interface for external system integration. Hardware revenue is complemented by recurring streams from Yaskawa Academy training, technical support, spare parts (with a 10-year guarantee), and turnkey automated cells configured to customer specifications.

Yaskawa Italia generates revenue through direct enterprise field sales augmented by a network of certified system integrator partners (including Bonetto Automazioni, Iron's Technology, EGS Automation, Profipack, and Roland Ruegenberg) who deploy, integrate, and service solutions for industrial manufacturers. Target customers span automotive, food and beverage, packaging, metalworking, machine building, sanitary/heating, and emerging verticals such as additive manufacturing and sustainable construction. The 10-year spare-parts guarantee, vertically integrated single-source product stack, and brand heritage built over a century of electric motor manufacturing underpin the company's positioning as a full-line automation supplier rather than a niche robotics vendor.

Core offering

Yaskawa Italia S.r.l. sells industrial automation components and systems, primarily MOTOMAN 6-axis robots (GP and AR series), YRC1000 robot controllers, Sigma-7/Sigma-X servo drives and motors, machine controllers (MP3000/MP3300), AC drives/inverters, and VIPA PLCs and HMI panels. The company also delivers integrated automated systems, training through the Yaskawa Academy, and after-sales support to industrial manufacturers and machine builders across Italy.

Product overview

YASKAWA Italia offers an integrated automation portfolio spanning robotics, motion control, and industrial computing. The core offerings include the MOTOMAN robot series (GP, AR) controlled by YRC1000/YRC1000micro controllers, paired with VIPA PLC systems and Smart Panels/HMI for complete automation solutions. Motion control is delivered through Sigma-X/Sigma-7 servo systems, AC drives/inverters, and MP3000 machine controllers. Profichip industrial communication ASICs complete the portfolio. The products function as an integrated mechatronics and robotics ecosystem where robots, controllers, drives, and HMI work together, with software tools like MotoSim, MotoLogix, and SRCI enabling programming and simulation. Yaskawa ECOSYSTEM provides access to partner products and education resources.
