Datalogic,the global technology leader in the automatic data acquisition and factory automation market,held the 50th anniversary celebration in Unipol Arena of Casalecchio di Reno last week.
Datalogic,founded in 1972,has grown from a small laboratory to an international company that is now spread all over the world.At first,it set up a photoelectric sensor company in a small parish of Quarto Inferior,and soon expanded its design and manufacturing to the field of barcode readers.Today,it has a turnover of more than 600 million euros.The secret of Datalogic’s success lies in continuous technological innovation,which is attributed to the R&D investment accounting for 10%of the turnover.”We should always keep up with the most advanced technology and often predict its development,because innovation is our DNA.”Dr.Romano Volta,the founder and chairman of the group,commented with satisfaction.
Datalogic now has more than 3000 employees in 29 countries,including 450 engineers.It has 11 production bases,8 research and development centers,and 3 Datalogic laboratories for the development of new technologies,such as machine learning and artificial intelligence,and has more than 1200 registered patents.
Ms.Valentina Volta,CEO of Datalogic Group,who is next to Dr.Volta,the founder,said:”With our high-quality products and perfect solutions,we now have more than 10000 customers worldwide,and a large part of them are Fortune 500 companies reported in the miscellaneous report.”
This outstanding company,famous in Italy and even in the world,was listed in the Euronext STAR Milan section of the Italian Stock Exchange in 2001.
Dinner,entertainment,commemorative video and other celebrations make the 50th anniversary celebration more brilliant and bright.The highlight of this celebration is the release of the book”Romano Volta–Founder of Datalogic”,in which Dr.Volta personally described many challenges he has overcome in the past 50 years.”With my consistent enthusiasm,I believe what I can do and do what I believe.”The”Ingegnere”(we usually understand it as an engineer,but in Datalogic,we used to call him the chairman)concluded proudly.
“Creating a company is a brave adventure in itself,but ensuring its continuous development is a more arduous task.”Ms.Valentina Volta explained,”It needs unremitting efforts,unshakable confidence in its resources,and strong attention to the results.”
We will continue to grow and innovate together and create a more sustainable technological future!
Datalogic history
Datalogic’s first partner program
The traceable QR code has changed,and the original 4*4mm QR code has been reduced to 2*2mm,so that the original 300000 pixel code reader cannot read it.In the early activities,Dr.Romano Volta directly participated in the sales activities,looking for new customers and communicating with customers face to face.In the early 1990s,the business organization of Datalogic Company expanded rapidly.Although it has been operating for several years,there is still no structured and coherent business model in offices around the world.The new strategic plan Il Punto di Volta finally provided a clear and sound direction for market positioning,and also proposed a new structured business model,which was rapidly and successfully implemented throughout the company.A large number of sensors and data acquisition equipment provided by Datalogic need a broad and reliable network of partners,who can add additional value to the company’s product portfolio(applications,software,integration,services,etc.)by developing solutions prepared by customers.Therefore,the company chose to enter the market indirectly through sales channels,and made use of a solid network of partners.In 1997,the first structured indirect sales channel management plan was born(it is the first in our industry)-the high-quality partner plan.It is the foundation of Datalogic’s success.Even today,Datalogic’s market leadership still depends on its reliable network of channel partners.
