Innovation and Internationalisation

Innovation

A story dedicated to excellence is fuelled by staying competitive.

Over the years, we have registered hundreds of patents. We have moved into new business sectors and adopted original technologies. We have developed solutions beneficial for all and more efficient, faster, more productive working methods: we are never satisfied with the processes achieved, constantly imagining the next step.

We understand needs and share discoveries.

Industry 4.0

At Cefla we know how to link the digital world to the real world, how to connect machines with people – and we help our customers do exactly the same.

From system design (which allows a realistic overview of the process) to system supervision and control, from industrial domotics to predictive services, proximity marketing technology and beyond, we enact digital change to make our customers’ companies more competitive on all markets.

Our people have all the skills, passion and curiosity needed to look ahead and guide product, process and organizational innovation towards success.

Cefla invests continuously in research, innovation and constant improvement. These ideas are so important to Cefla that it established a “Corporate Innovation & Business Development” team dedicated exclusively to the development of new technologies and products, combining tasks, and sharing and integrating processes across the business areas.

  2.     To submit an idea to CEFLA, the Inventor must have full ownership of the Idea. If there is more than one inventor of the Idea, each inventor must read and sign this ISA and all references to “Inventor” and “you” in this ISA will be deemed to refer to such inventors collectively. Accordingly, the Inventor hereby confirms that: (1) the Inventor is the first and only inventor and creator of the Idea; (2) the Inventor owns all rights to the Inventor’s Idea; (3) the Inventor has not transferred or licensed such rights (or any interest therein) to anyone else; and (4) to the best of the Inventor’s knowledge, the Inventor’s Idea does not violate the intellectual property or other rights of any third party.
  3.     By submitting your Ideas to CEFLA, you are representing and agreeing that doing so does not violate any agreement or understanding you may have with another party, including other organizations, and former or current employers, or their policies and procedures or the like that govern you.

  4.     After submitting an Idea, the Inventor will grant CEFLA an exclusive forty-five (45) day period of time to review and evaluate the Idea. If after the review period CEFLA will confirm its interest in the Idea, then CEFLA will ask the Inventor for a meeting to discuss the terms and conditions of an agreement for the commercial exploitation of the Idea. If CEFLA does not reply to the Inventor submission by the end of the 45-day period, then all rights in the Idea will revert to the Inventor and CEFLA shall have no further rights whatsoever in the Idea.
  5.     Any submitted Idea may be excluded from consideration in the sole discretion of CEFLA.
