VISION

To become the national  leader in  innovation applied to process automation  within the precious metal industry by  creating a research department  that attracts top-tier talent while  enhancing the development of the Casentino area.

HISTORY

2010

Tera Automation was founded in 2010 in Tuscany’s Casentino Valley, one of the four valleys surrounding the city of Arezzo, a global jewelry hub renowned for its ancient tradition and expertise in precious metal processing.

2013

Tera embarked on its first significant challenge : designing an automated induction tunnel furnace for the continuous production of precious metal ingots, marking the start of itscollaboration with Italimpianti Orafi.

2018

Tera tackled its second major challenge:  automating the entire ingot production process from metal melting to final packaging, a global first . This effort led to the launch of the T-Line, a turnkey automated solution showcasing  Tera's innovative spirit and continuous drive to deliver increasingly optimized solutions.

2023

Tera Automation celebrated its 10th anniversary with a corporate event attended by collaborators, partners, and international clients.

2024

Tera Automation became  a partner of Doma Automation, an Arezzo-based company with 15 years of experience in the jewelry industry software.

OUR SERVICES

SOLUZIONE PER LA LAVORAZIONE DEI METALLI PREZIOSI

SOLUTIONS FOR PRECIOUS METAL PROCESSING

Tera Automation has developed high-performance automated systems tailored to the precious metals sector. These solutions enhance industrial automation, either by integrating with  existing company machinery  or completely reimagining workflows. These systems are compatible with various robots and aim  to maximize  productivity and product  quality.

SOLUZIONE PER LA LAVORAZIONE DEI METALLI PREZIOSI

ROBOTS AND ROBOTIC CELLS FOR VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL SECTORS

Drawing on extensive experience in automated lines, Tera Automation designs robotic integrations that enhance production flows across different sectors, including:

  • Precious metals
  • Fashion accessories
  • Automotive
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Precision mechanics
  • Palletizing

In addition to  robotic automation, Tera Automation integrates cutting-edge technologies like electronic control software, artificial intelligence, and 2D and 3D vision systems.

TEAM

Expertise, professionality and enthusiasm have allowed Tera Automation’s young team to establish  significant collaborations with prestigious global refineries that contributed in spreading the company’s reputation worldwide.
Indeed, despite its strong technical orientation, Tera’s fundamental cornerstone remains the human factor:the efficiency of the machinery is nothing but the result of the cooperation of experienced, inventive people  driven by a passionate, customer-oriented approach.

TECHNICAL OFFICE

The Technical Department can boast a highly qualified and extremely creative young team of engineers.

PRODUCTION

In production, young and senior staff work side by side every day—the former providing energy and creative flair, the latter contributing with their know-how  and attention to detail.

COMMERCIAL AND ADMINISTRATION OFFICE

The sales and marketing department addresses  an increasingly rich international market together with  the national one. Versatility and constant dialogue with the technical office enable the sales team to guide clients towards the best solution for their needs.
Tera’s international spirit is constantly nurtured through participation in trade fairs  and conferences around the world. In 2023, the company participated in 17 trade shows, only three of which were in Italy.

MAXIMECCANICA

A crucial role within the company team is played by Maximeccanica, a branch of Tera Automation dedicated to CNC mechanical machining. Most of the parts required for assembling Tera machines are produced here, along with the most requested spare parts. This ensures a short supply chain, great care for the entire production process, and an always up-to-date warehouse  at clients disposal.

LUCA FIORINI

Overseeing it all is Luca Fiorini, born in 1979, CEO of Tera Automation. A young entrepreneur with an engineering background, he has looked to the future by creating what he likes to call a company of “industrial artisans.”

INVESTMENTS IN THE TERRITORY

Despite its strong international character, Tera Automation remains deeply tied to its territory. Evidence of this tight bond are the  numerous  local initiatives it sponsores, such as the Biennale d’Arte Fabbrile and the Casentino Literary Prize, as well as collaborations with local high schools and universities.
It is precisely in this direction that the T-Talent project has been launched: a scholarship for recent graduates enrolling in STEM faculties, valid for the entire five-year course.
Tera Automation aims to become a center of excellence for automation in Casentino, attracting clients, jobs, and outstanding human resources.

“Heraeus appreciated very much working with TERA. They could really demonstrate their competence in automation and in tailor made solutions to meet our requirements and needs. We both gained mutual benefits through discussions during the development of the equipment. TERA improved many features and functions of their equipment through our practical experience whilst we got a better and more competitive solution at the same time. The attitude on continuous improvement, good after sales service and tailored solutions make TERA a good partner to work with.”

- Heraeus Hong Kong

"We have been working with Tera since 2018, when we installed their T-Flexicell robot cell for one of our CNC milling machines. Although at the beginning we had to adjust some details in the automation system (it was the first cell that Tera had installed), we can safely state that we are fully satisfied with Tera for both their efficient and timely after-sales services and the real benefits that the T-Flexicell cell is bringing to production day after day".

- Alberto Andrei - Presidente di Andrei Srl

” It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Tera and I am very pleased that we selected them as a provider in our latest state-of-the art precious metals project. The professionalism, innovation, and passion in all areas of their operation has been stellar. They not only had the flexibility to work within our defined parameters but provided us with logical, well-articulated, alternatives in both our process design and equipment specifications. As an engineer, and having been to their facility, I can attest that their design and fabrication abilities are exemplified in the superb attitude of their employees along with the excellent manufacturing practices witnessed during my visit. The quality of their in-house fabrication, the superiority of the third-party components and their attention to quality construction makes Tera one of our few de facto standard suppliers.”
