Automated cutting machine
Automated machine for a specific cutting operation, designed, built and delivered by ProgramANN.
From an idea to a real solution
Solutions materialized in real machines and processes.
ProgramANN experience ranges from autonomous machines for specific operations to complete production plants.
Core sample splitter
Automates splitting and reduces the need for direct manual operator intervention in the cutting area during the cycle.
Automation and integration in operation
From individual machines to an integrated production process.
ProgramANN integrates machines, control and software so different stages of a process work together as one coordinated system.
What we solve
We do not start with a technology. We start with the problem that needs a solution.
We look for the simplest, most robust and economically viable alternative that can work in real operation. We prioritize operational safety, process quality and consistency, reliability and useful information.
A machine that does not exist in the form required
We develop special equipment when an off-the-shelf solution does not fit the material, sequence, range or actual operating conditions.
An operation that exposes people or depends too heavily on manual intervention
We seek to reduce exposure and variability through mechanization, automation or control when they genuinely improve the way the process operates.
A process that needs greater control over quality, variables and information
We integrate equipment, sensors, actuators, interfaces and control to coordinate sequences, recipes and variables, and to generate information that actually adds value.
ProgramANN SAVE4
Beyond automation: SAVE4 organizes the value we aim to create.
Save People is at the center of our purpose: safer, better-controlled processes. Save Intelligence is our technological focus: turning process variables and events into useful information to understand the operation, control quality and keep improving it. Save Time and Save Money complete the operational and economic value.
01SAVE PEOPLE
Safety through the process
Reduce people’s exposure to operations or conditions that can be handled better through mechanization, automation or control.
02SAVE TIME
Recover useful time
Reduce lost time, unnecessary interventions, waiting and variability that add no value to the process.
03SAVE MONEY
Reduce economic consequences
Reduce economic consequences associated with accidents, failures, downtime, errors, waste, rework and other avoidable problems.
04SAVE INTELLIGENCE
Understand to improve
Generate information about process variables, states and events to control the operation better, sustain quality, understand deviations and develop new capabilities.
How we work
The right solution appears when the whole process is understood.
We do not impose a technology in advance. First we understand what must happen, what constraints exist and what result is worth achieving.
Understand
Current process, risks, quality criteria, operating conditions, constraints, materials and required information.
Solve
Define the simplest, most robust and viable technical alternative, balancing safety, quality, control, reliability and cost.
Build
Design, fabrication, integration, assembly, testing and adjustment until the solution is operable.
SAVE INTELLIGENCE · control & information
Intelligence begins by understanding what is actually happening in the process.
ProgramANN develops its own software, electronics and control architecture, integrating them with commercial components when appropriate. The goal is not to accumulate data: it is to have the information needed to control variables, sustain quality, understand deviations and make better operational decisions.
Control, record and understand the process.
A better-controlled operation can be more consistent, safer and more repeatable. When justified, the control system can also record states, variables and events to understand what is happening and improve process quality.

In development
Some problems can become new ProgramANN solutions.
These developments are at different stages. They are not presented as already validated products.
Concept visualization
In development
Internal cleaning of pipe joints
Development aimed at removing internal material from joints in large-diameter pipes. The first unit is a prototype and must be validated through testing.
Concept visualization
In development
Improved core sample splitter
Evolution aimed at incorporating active hydraulic clamping, interchangeable formats and greater control and containment of the sample.
Concept visualization
In development
Controlled supply dispensing
Configurable platform for controlling authorization, identification and traceability in internal supply dispensing, according to each application’s requirements.
Modernization when it makes sense
Sometimes the machine does not need to be replaced; the obsolete part needs to be solved.
If the mechanical or hydraulic base remains useful and there is a specific control, integration or interface problem, ProgramANN can evaluate a technically and economically viable modernization.
