Hyper-amortization. Automatic and semiautomatic guide

 

Hyper-amortization. In this article, we would like to analyze the situation regarding the requirement for automatic and semiautomatic driving according to the “Transaction 4.0” plan.

Hyper-Amortization. From “Industry 4.0” plan, the facilitation regulations of hyper-amortization.

In this article, we want to tell you about the requirement of automatic and semi-automatic driving according to the provisions of the “Transaction 4.0” Plan.

With the help of Eng. Matteo Iubatti, let’s analyze the situation to provide more clarity on the topic.

Hyper-amortization in the field of automatic and semiautomatic driving: Eng. Matteo Iubatti

Below are the words of Eng. Matteo Iubatti that help us further clarify the issue related to automatic and semi-automatic driving

“The facilitating legislation of hyper-amortization (now tax credit capital goods 4.0) was introduced by Plan “Industry 4.0” by Law No. 232 of December 11, 2016, published in the Official Gazette General Series No. 297 of December 21, 2016 – Ordinary Suppl. No. 57, as amended by Article 7-novies of Decree Law No. 243 of December 29, 2016, converted with amendments by Law No. 18 of February 27, 2017, and its Annexes A and B and Circular No. 4 /E of 03/30/2017 – Industry 4.0 – Article 1, paragraphs 8 to 13, of Law No. 232 of December 11, 2016 – Extension, with amendments, of the discipline of the so-called “super depreciation” and introduction of the so-called “hyper depreciation.”

This legislation provides, among the eligible goods, “mobile machinery” within the meaning of Directive 46/2007/EC, defined as any self-propelled vehicle specifically designed and manufactured to perform work and, due to its construction characteristics, not suitable for transporting passengers or goods. Machines assembled on a motor vehicle chassis are not considered mobile machinery.

In Circular No. 4 /E of 03/30/2017 – Industry 4.0 – Article 1, paragraphs 8 to 13, of Law No. 232 of December 11, 2016- Extension, with amendments, of the discipline of the so-called “super amortization” and introduction of the so-called “hyper amortization,” the technical specifications that such machines must meet in order to be covered by the facilitating discipline, are detailed. In addition it is reported that in the case of driving or operating machines, which operate in the outdoor environment (typically machines used in agriculture and construction) the feature of interconnection and automated integration must be fulfilled if they are completely automated (without an operator on board) or semi-automated (meaning being operator-assisted with remote control) and capable of receiving data related to the assigned task from a remote central system (related to planning, scheduling or production progress control, without necessarily having features of machine actuation or startup) located in the factory environment.

The above information thus clearly shows that the requirement of automatic or semi-automatic driving “does not constitute an autonomous and additional requirement with respect to those required by the Facilitation Framework, but rather a technological feature or, in other words, a circumstance where for the “mobile machines” in question the requirements of interconnection and automated integration are fulfilled” (clarified by Circular No. 177355 of May 23, 2018).

Also from the same Circular May 23, 2018, No. 177355, it is specified that “semi-automatically guided ‘mobile machines’ are the ones equipped with guidance systems capable of controlling at least one displacement function: for example, steering, speed, stopping.” For moving machines then, as well as for all other machines that can benefit from the hyper amortization, the main way to meet the requirements for interconnection and automated integration with the factory system are those aimed at the two-way exchange of data with the user’s information system, designed to generate value within the work process.

There is no additional requirement for automatic or semiautomatic driving needs. Automatic or semiautomatic driving does not constitute an autonomous and additional requirement with respect to those required by the Facilitative Framework, but rather a technological feature. In other words, for the “mobile machines” in question the requirements of interconnection and automated integration are considered to be fulfilled, but only if operating in an outdoor environment.”

Act plural

team

Act plural. ”A dream you dream alone is only a dream, a dream you dream together is reality” – John Lennon

Act plural: collaboration and individuality

 To collaborate means to actively participate, to achieve the accomplishment of a task or the performance of an activity. Within the company, collaboration is fundamental, as a synergistic relationship between two or more entities working together. The main goal is to produce something better than what could be done alone.

“Collaboration,” however, should not be at odds with “Individuality.”

One of the most famous quotes about teamwork, attributed to Chicago Bulls assistant coach Tex Winter, states: “there is no ‘I’ in ‘team.'” It is also said that the star of that team, Michael Jordan, replied: “but there is an ‘I’ in ‘win.'”

Fact: there is no room for individualism in collaboration. But successful collaboration requires room for individuality, now more than ever, since working alone has become almost impossible.

Even we ourselves individually have an “internal team,” and we are like a team composed of several different personalities, with different interests and desires, even divergent ones.

Act plural: collaboration and empathy

The goal of the I-professional’s day, for example, may not coincide with that of the I-in-family. Each person is at his or her best if he or she is in balance with his or her own life, and so to collaborate means to contribute to each other’s balance.

To collaborate, especially today when technologies give us access to increasingly effective and pervasive tools of connection (the magic – unthinkable 15 years ago – of a videocall) and sharing (the agility of a shared working document), it then becomes also and above all a matter of empathy, a delicate interconnection of “fractals” between our “internal team” and the real “external teams” of which we are part.

Sharing a project goal is important but collaborating with someone to ensure that both ours and his or her more “subtle” wants and needs are gratified and enhanced is what makes all the difference in our (and others’) work-life balance.

The advice: collaborate more and better, with others and with yourself. In the age of sharing, it is not only projects and goals that are “shared,” but also people, their values, their sensitivities, their multiple desires: commit to making sure that everything comes out better, not just the outcome of the project. Because if you learn to respect other people’s time, others will learn to respect yours.

Act plural: ask yourself the right questions

What can I do concretely to facilitate the collaboration in my team?

How do I consider the “vital” needs and desires of the people I collaborate with?

What questions should I ask my colleagues to stimulate and enrich my and their ideas?

How do I assess my level of active listening? And how could I improve it?

Training.

Workout #1 – Technology to collaborate

For one week, follow some simple rules to collaborate with technology, not only to achieve a given goal but also to respect other people’s needs:

– Transparency: share your schedule and have others share theirs with you.

– Cleanliness: as often as you can, put a maximum of 3 people in knowledge copy of an email, to avoid multiplication of information that might take unnecessary attention from others.

– Alignment: work on shared documents, to avoid unnecessary effort and wasted time (e.g., not to work in parallel on different versions of the same file).

– Accuracy: send targeted and concise emails, 5-10 lines maximum, with an unambiguous subject line and content structure that can be understood immediately.

– Empathy: send emails only at respectful hours (“sociable hours”), avoiding evenings and weekends, limiting yourself to communicating what the other person expects to know from you, or what is relevant to them.

Workout #2 – Collective intelligence

For one week, follow 7 simple rules to collaborate and create innovative solutions together with others that are the result of collective intelligence.

– Instead of “the Devil’s,” be “the Angel’s Advocate”: don’t undermine others’ ideas but encourage them to generate new ones by “raising” on their own (avoid “yes, but…” and use “yes, and…”).

– Respect the brainstorming rules not only in dedicated sessions but in any time of sharing and exchanging ideas with other people. Separate the creative phase of idea generation (divergent phase) from judgment (convergent phase): when you are in the former, “surf” freely among other people’s ideas and, only in the latter, clearly and respectfully express your agreement or disagreement.

– Facilitate collective thinking: connect and relate your ideas to others and those of others to each other (“your idea makes me think of…”)

– Listen actively: ask your colleagues questions to understand better how and what they think. Involve, offer and ask for suggestions and advice.

– Relativize: start with the assumption that your beliefs are a point of view, not an unbreakable dogma. Question yourself, invite others to challenge your ideas, and continually look for cues to improve your thinking with the help of others.

– Eyes shut and focus on your breathing will help you get to sleep quickly.

– No distractions: the phone’s “flight mode” is your best friend!

Training of forklift drivers in total safety

formazione carrellisti

Tamarri S.r.l. has developed a new, simple and cheap system for locking the vehicles in case of danger during courses dedicated to forklift drivers. Indeed, aspiring forklift drivers do not always have full mastery of the vehicles, in some cases they can pose a danger to themselves, people and property.

 

Forklift driver training: a solution by Tamarri

Tamarri S.r.l. has always been keen on safety, not only in warehouses, but also during all operator training. A small step for safety even at the delicate stage of training new operators.

That’s why we decided to develop a new protection system entirely dedicated to the phase of driving during forklift operator training courses.

Forklift Operator Training: The SS22 Kit

The SS22 kit consists of:

1 forklift device STS90A

1 STS89 push-button transmitter (remote control).

Taking inspiration from the dual pedals that are mandatory for driving school cars, we have implemented the features of devices already used for automatic vehicle slowdown by simply forcing the state of the ignition relay inside our STS90A using a remote control.

 

With a simple pressure of the button on the remote control it provides immediate action on the relay, which, if properly operated, can stop the vehicle in case of danger.

Distances are adjustable through free Android APP, as are all SafeTsystem series transmitters.

Tamarri, all the best for lift trucks! 😉

From the Cdm the decree “Aiuti ter”

team

“Aiuti ter” decree Approved by the Cdm: in our article we will identify the most important measures.

The Aiuti ter decree: enhanced tax credits

A difficult year lies ahead for Italian families and businesses. Energy crisis is here, and little room for maneuver is predicted by experts for the new government, while Europe would need “a compactness that is not taken for granted,” as economist Michele Polo stated.

Meanwhile, what is happening to support businesses? Last Friday, September 16, the measure that establishes extended and enhanced electricity and gas tax credits for energy-intensive industries (click here to read the draft) was approved (a credit for small businesses is also planned). The measure was approved by the Council of Ministers and in total allocates €14 billion.

In addition, fuel tax cuts are also planned until Oct. 31. On the other hand, the case for the “Aiuti bis” decree with news on the Superbonus and other energy measures has been filed, although the text has not been approved by the Senate yet. Finally, the new regulations of the “Aiuti ter” decree are about to be published.

The Aiuti ter decree explained

The main measures of the decree, outlined by Prime Minister Mario Draghi, include the extension and strengthening of tax credits for industries with high energy consumption, the extension of the fuel excise tax cut, as well as various interventions for business liquidity.

To be clearer: the decree extends to October and November 2022 the tax credits for electricity and gas to businesses and strengthens them; these credits increase to 40% of the expenses incurred for electricity and gas purchases, by energy-intensive companies.

For different uses other than thermoelectric, companies other than those with high gas consumption will also be eligible for the same 40% credit.

The measure also provides a 30% tax credit for electricity expenses, granted to companies with meters with an available power of 4.5 kW or more, other than energy-intensive companies.”

This scheme will continue  until Sept. 30, 2022, with credits of 25% (for businesses with high consumption) and 15% for businesses with meters with available power of 16.5 kW or more.

 

crisi energetica

 

What about fuels? As for fuels, tax cuts on diesel, gasoline, LPG and natural gas are extended until October 31, 2022.

Regarding bank loans granted at the lowest rate (in line with the Btp) for the payment of energy bills, companies struggling with high utility bills will be able to obtain free guarantees from Sace (Insurance and Financial Services for Business)

Regarding the new regasification capacity, the decree is enriched with an article (14-bis) to dl 50/2022, according to which “the provisions of this article shall apply to applications submitted pursuant to paragraph 5 even if, during the authorization referred to in paragraph 2, prescriptions are imposed, factors arise that impose substantial changes or alternative locations.”

Finally, for the extra profits from renewables under Decree 4/2022 (Article 15-bis), it is provided that the relevant proceeds “shall be paid by the GSE by November 30, 2022, on a cumulative basis for the period from February to August 2022 and on a monthly basis for the following months, to the State budget and shall remain acquired by the Treasury up to the total amount of 3,400 million euros.”
