Our story
Digital Control S.r.l. was founded in San Marzano Oliveto in 1999, starting from electronics design. Today we design and build vision inspection and automation systems for manufacturing and bottling companies.
The whole machine lifecycle stays in house: mechanical, optical and electronic design, software development, assembly and final testing. One contact follows the system from design to start-up.
Our machines run in food, wine and pharmaceutical plants worldwide.
Mission
Raise the quality and efficiency of our customers’ production. We build inspection systems that check every part and remove the non-conforming one from the line, with technology that holds through whole shifts in demanding industrial environments.
What we do
Inspection systems
In-line quality control with vision systems: presence, position and defects of each part. Rejection units remove non-conforming parts from the line.
Design and software
Mechanical, optical and electronic design and the software are developed in house, through assembly and final testing.
Components and spares
PLCs, drivers, HMIs and photocells: supply, replacement and technical support for the catalogue components.
Our teams

Gerardo Pepe
CEO
Industry experience and strategic vision: he guides the company’s innovation and the choice of solutions that reach production.

Sales
Listens to how the customer works and turns production needs into a custom solution.

Laboratory
Severe tests and acceptance on every component, before the system leaves the lab.

Engineering
Handles every mechanical and optical detail and turns the design into machines and inspection systems that run in production.

Research and development
Builds the new automation systems and the functions current lines do not have yet.
How we work
Process analysis
We start from the part to inspect, the line speed and the defect to detect.
Design and integration
We size the system on the existing machine and integrate it into the production cycle.
Installation and testing
We install in line, fine-tune with the customer and verify on real parts.
Frequently asked questions
