Europlacer emerged as the ideal choice, offering advanced SMT placement solutions tailored to CEEI’s needs.
“In 2016, we were experiencing rapid growth and needed a technology partner that could support our expansion,” said Giorgio Mazzolatti, CEEI SRL. “With the introduction of Europlacer’s iineo II machine, we immediately saw improvements in quality and efficiency. Within a year, our productivity increased by 20%, and our delivery times were reduced by 30%, allowing us to better serve our customers.”
Europlacer’s technology has allowed CEEI to reduce downtime to virtually zero through offline production setup capabilities, ensuring seamless transitions between production runs. The new intuitive ii-RC programming interface has also streamlined workflows, reducing the learning curve, setup time and enhancing operational efficiency. Overall, this has helped the company to reduce their time to market, providing a competitive advantage.
SMT prototyping and high mix manufacturing versatility
The versatility of Europlacer’s SMT solutions has been particularly beneficial, enabling CEEI to manage both large-scale production and rapid prototyping with ease. The ii-Tab mobile solution has further optimized efficiency, providing real-time data for workflow improvements, production monitoring, enhanced traceability and aiding the company’s aims of digitaliziation of all processes.
“As our business continued to grow, we needed a solution that would support increasing production volumes without sacrificing flexibility,” added Giorgio Mazzolatti. “The decision to invest in Europlacer’s ii-A3 machine from the atom range was a natural next step. Its speed and precision have allowed us to expand high-volume production capabilities, meeting our customers’ evolving needs with greater agility.”

Looking ahead, CEEI sees Europlacer as a vital partner in its continued growth, particularly in prototyping and high-mix, low-volume production. As the market demands greater speed and precision, CEEI is confident that Europlacer’s cutting-edge solutions will continue to drive success. Giorgio Mazzolatti finalized: “I would absolutely recommend Europlacer. In addition to being a reliable technical choice, they manage to establish a relationship of collaboration and trust and continue to support us in the company’s growth”
