PROJECT ANALYSIS

S4Technology considers each project as a structured set of complex and interconnected activities, aimed at achieving concrete objectives according to timeframes, costs and quality standards. The first essential step is feasibility – a stage in which every technical and operational aspect is carefully analyzed and assessed, integrating multidisciplinary skills, resources, and knowledge to ensure the desired quality

Co-design

Our technical department will provide support with innovative solutions, choose the right technology, and offer integrated services. The aim will be to share everyone's needs and jointly define the project guidelines.

PROTOTYPING

Before mass production, S4Technology creates a prototype to test processes and technical features in line with the specified requirements. The prototype, subjected to testing, makes it possible to improve both the product and the manufacturing process. This is followed by pre-series or batch zero, i.e. a batch of several units aimed at verifying the capability of the production process. Industrial production begins only after this step.

The procedures are always shared with the customer, with full transparency regarding timelines and costs.

MOULD MANUFACTURING

Mould manufacturing is a key stage for S4Technology. Our technical department collaborates with specialized partners to define all specifications, combining strict construction standards with customer requirements. To ensure quality and durability in RIM components, we use aluminium alloys milled with state-of-the-art CNC machines. S4Technology, ISO 9001 certified, performs scheduled maintenance on moulds stored in its facilities.

MANUFACTURING

At S4Technology, we apply the principles of Lean Manufacturing and use the MES system to manage and control every stage of production in real time, integrating ERP, machinery, operators and facilities. This approach, certified to ISO 9001:2015 and supported by a digital traceability system, ensures efficiency, waste reduction and total quality control. For the customer, the result is a flexible, responsive, and transparent production process, with more accurate delivery times and optimized performance.

RIM MOULDING

At S4Technology, RIM polyurethane is processed using advanced foaming systems and mould carrier presses, in line with Industry 4.0 requirements. We produce components of various sizes, with densities ranging from 600 to 1150 kg/m3, according to the formulation best suited to the end use. The moulded parts can weigh from 200 g up to 60 kg. Our goal is to ensure absolute quality for the customer in every product we manufacture.

RAW PART FINISHING

The finishing of the moulded raw part is an outsourced stage, carried out in collaboration with strategic partners with expertise, who quickly embraced our quality standards and follow well-established, shared processes. We maintain long-standing partnerships, where every growth and improvement strategy is fully shared with them. Our common mission is to prepare each part to ensure the highest quality for the subsequent painting phase.

PAINTING

Painting is an essential phase of the production process. Polyurethane paints are available in formulations for indoor or outdoor use, and can be water- or solvent-based. There are also special paints with fire-retardant or fire-resistant properties, as well as conductive coatings for EMI shielding. Thanks to its experience and the use of nanotechnologies, S4Technology ensures aesthetic and high-performance finishes, with quality controls conducted according to procedures defined with the customer and mutually agreed specifications.

ASSEMBLY

Assembly is a strategic phase in which we manufacture customized and tested finished products according to customer specifications, integrating metal, electronic, and elastomeric components. This approach reduces bill of materials costs and optimizes production times, ensuring efficiency right from the pre-assembly phase. For electronics, we operate in an ISO 9001:2015-certified E.P.A. area, equipped with a dedicated warehouse, workstations, and a complete traceability system to protect devices sensitive to electrostatic discharge.

PACKAGING

S4Technology can design and offer standard or custom packaging based on the end customer’s needs, carefully examining the issues related to the product to be protected. We are highly focused on offering innovative and recyclable solutions to reduce environmental impact, without ever compromising competitiveness, the quality of materials used and the efficiency with respect to the final product being packaged.

QUALITY CONTROL

S4Technology, ISO 9001 certified, adopts structured processes to ensure thorough quality control, following the 'Top Quality & Zero Returns' philosophy. Quality control is carried out in five distinct stages, with multiple checks that increase the likelihood of identifying any non-conformities before delivery. Additional and more specific control methods can be requested and agreed with the customer at the contractual level.

LOGISTICS

In the supply chain, logistics plays a central role both in the procurement of operational systems and in managing distribution. It deals with product supply, materials management, warehousing, packaging, order preparation, inventory, transport and information exchange between the various stakeholders in the supply chain. S4Technology offers, upon request, an integrated logistics service that adds value to the production process.

MATERIALS AND TECHNOLOGY

Our ability to work with different types of polyurethane allows us to design and manufacture a wide range of products with completely different aesthetic and mechanical properties:

Solid rigid structural polyurethane

The polyurethane system used by S4Technology is a compact microcellular technopolymer, also known as “Primary structural” polyurethane for Reaction Injection Moulding (RIM), with a density ranging from 1000 to 1150 kg/m3. Thanks to short demoulding cycles of approximately 90 seconds, it is possible to produce components with thicknesses mainly between 3 and 12 mm, offering a high degree of rigidity and excellent mechanical strength.

Structural rigid polyurethane foam

Medium-density structural rigid polyurethane, also known as “Secondary structural” polyurethane, thanks to its sandwich structure – a compact outer skin with a cellular core – offers multiple design options.

This polyurethane system is ideal for producing large moulded components, ensuring structural robustness, and maintaining the shape of the component without distortions. It also offers good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.

The moulded components can have thicknesses ranging from 4 to 20 mm, with densities between 500 and 700 kg/m3.

Elastomeric polyurethane

Elastomeric polyurethane is used across various industrial sectors due to its high impact resistance at both low and high temperatures. It is a durable, multifunctional material resistant to abrasion, capable of providing high technical, mechanical, and aesthetic performance.

Flame-retardant structural polyurethane

S4Technology can meet specific requirements by formulating raw material mixtures containing additives that give rigid polyurethane particular physicochemical properties, such as its self-extinguishing capability in accordance with UL94.
