Mechatronics R&D at Denovo
Mechatronics is one of Denovo’s four R&D streams, alongside artificial intelligence, blockchain and cybersecurity. We work from Terni on systems that combine mechanics, electronics and software control, in-house and together with companies across Central Italy and the European single market.
What we build
We design and build mechatronic devices from scratch, for industrial and automation contexts. In-house competencies cover the full chain: mechanical modelling, custom electronic boards, embedded firmware, control algorithms, sensor integration, testing.
Combinations we routinely carry across the other R&D streams:
- mechatronics and AI: control systems that learn from operational data and adapt in real time;
- mechatronics and blockchain: industrial devices that cryptographically sign telemetry before sending it to distributed traceability ledgers;
- mechatronics and cybersecurity: dedicated hardware for secure operations on OT networks, with the cryptographic boundary isolated from the rest of the stack.
How we work
The approach is “de novo”: we do not re-adapt existing solutions, we design each system from the problem up. This lets us deliver products with an energy profile, footprint and interface calibrated to the actual use case, without backward-compatibility constraints.
The in-house team combines mechanical engineering, analogue and digital electronics, embedded firmware and control systems. The lab is in Terni, Umbria. As an Italian innovative startup we operate across the entire EU plus Switzerland.
Who reaches out to us
- industrial companies in Central Italy looking to automate a line with a custom system;
- organisations who need mechatronic prototypes to validate a hypothesis before industrialising;
- integrators who need an Italian partner capable of owning the full hardware and firmware stack.

Frequently asked questions
What does Denovo mean by mechatronics?
Systems that combine mechanics, electronics and software control, designed from scratch for industrial and automation contexts. In-house skills cover mechanical modelling, custom electronic boards, embedded firmware, control algorithms, sensor integration and testing.
Does Denovo adapt existing products or design from scratch?
From scratch, starting from the real problem: the "de novo" approach. The result is a system whose energy budget, footprint and interfaces fit the use case, with no backward-compatibility constraints.
Who is the mechatronics stream for?
Industrial companies that want to automate a line with a custom system, organisations that need a prototype to validate a hypothesis before industrialising, and integrators looking for an Italian partner able to own the whole hardware and firmware stack.
Where does Denovo work and which countries does it serve?
The lab is in Terni, Umbria. As an Italian innovative startup, Denovo works across the entire EU single market and Switzerland.
