It consists of a public-private partnership that brings together 40 partners including eight universities (University of Padua, Verona, Ca ‘Foscari, IUAV, Trento , Bolzano, Udine and SISSA of Trieste), two research centers (Bruno Kessler Foundation and National Institute of Nuclear Physics), the Padua Chamber of Commerce, ComoNExT and some of the most innovative companies in the area, as Danieli Automation.

SMACT supports the Northeast Companies which innovates through the recent call for proposals dedicated to innovation, industrial research and experimental development: 17 winning projects will be carried out with the co-financing of the Ministry of Economic Development for a total of 1.8 million euros.

Danieli Automation is one of the winning companies with its Q3-PREMIUM project, which is aimed at developing a solution based on an integrated IIOT experimental platform applied to the control and analysis of product quality in the steel industry. The platform is designed to collect large amounts of data from different sources and to provide tools for the development of statistical analysis and predictive models both on-premises and in the cloud. The integration of the insights generated by the data analysis into a real-time rules engine therefore allows the timely detection of potential problems and proactive decision support for the rapid implementation of corrective and preventive actions.
