A number of companies in this sector recognise the need to modernise their operations – [DE.OL](http://www.deol.it/), an Italian company who design and manufacture hydraulic cylinders are one of these. Working with [TechnoSec](http://technosec.net/), an Italian IIoT start up specialising in M2M technologies, and Ubuntu, DE.OL were able to transition to a smart factory. **Highlights:** * DE.OL transformed its predictive maintenance approach to optimise efficiency but without having to replace legacy machinery. * In one instance, DE.OL averted an oil pump breakdown which would have cost the company €12,000 in downtime and repair bills had they not adopted TechnoSec’s IIoT platform and Ubuntu Core. * Ubuntu Core decreases time to deployment for TechnoSec and opens them up to a community of developers to share knowledge and fix bugs.
