“We provide creative technology solutions that advance the way the manufacturing world works,” remarks Soldi, who has always had a passion for disruptive innovation. This spurred him to support and undertake projects that involve disruptive innovation throughout his professional career. “This has also been a guiding factor for us at Hyla Soft,” he adds. For instance, Hyla Soft has a great level of success introducing and implementing new global IT solutions for Machine Data Acquisition (MDA) and Direct Numerical Control (DNC) systems for machine integration. These new technologies have the potential to dramatically reduce the costs of production execution, data collection, and data analysis.
Innovation is not only important to Hyla Soft, “but it is the driving force behind the projects we undertake, the solutions we provide, and the impact we aim to make in manufacturing IT,” reveals Soldi. One of the company’s exciting projects involves the use of wearables on the plant floor to improve communication, collaboration, and performance support among both the execution and management teams of the production process. This drive to innovate coupled with its customer-centricity and global presence is why Hyla Soft stays far ahead of the curve.
Configuring Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Machine Data Acquisition (MDA) systems are often intricate processes. Nevertheless, Hyla Soft is adept at both. While implementing those systems for its customers, Hyla Soft uses cutting edge simulation technology such as Tecnomatix Plant Simulation to model the plants. Simulations contain all the equipment signals discovered during on-site analyses.
“Equipment failures and material sensors built into the simulations drive the values of these signals,” says Soldi. Hyla Soft’s plant and line simulation expertise reduces customer configuration time considerably, at the same time enabling clients to verify their configuration, stress test the system, and troubleshoot problems in a controlled environment.

Hyla Soft’s future looks busy. It is estimating a growth rate in revenue by almost 100 percent next year. “We are continuously taking on more projects and initiatives, and we are rapidly expanding our customer and partner network,” points out Soldi. The company is committed to delivering innovative technologies, while also increasing its investment and focus in the supply chain management area of manufacturing.
