For those who are not satisfied with SCADA/HMI applications built to the bare minimum
Many SCADA applications end up looking alike: the same screens, the same logic, the same basic functions.
With Super-Flash Royalty-Free and Runtime, the goal can be different: to create advanced, ergonomic SCADA/HMI applications that are truly calibrated around the needs of operators and the production process.
Not just supervision, but:
integration with MES and Industry 4.0/5.0
ergonomic and customized interfaces
advanced data management and information publishing
integration with AI and specialized modules
open, PC-based solutions that can be easily expanded
Thanks to MicroC, the compiler embedded in Super-Flash, application possibilities open up at 360 degrees: custom logic, special integrations, advanced automation and functions developed exactly around customer requirements.
With Automa you also have direct technical support that helps and encourages customers to develop applications that truly stand out from the mass of systems built to the bare minimum.
With Super-Flash you are not just choosing a SCADA. You are choosing a partner with 39 years of experience in industrial automation software development.

Super-Flash Royalty-Free
Super-Flash is the only SCADA system available in a Royalty-Free version.
This makes it possible to reduce runtime costs and set up SCADA/HMI workstations on PanelPCs at a cost comparable to that of ‘closed’ HMIs, but with much greater flexibility.
Automa can support you in your development efforts to reduce time-to-market and enable you to implement complete, high-performance and scalable applications straight away.

2026 Finance Act: Hyper-depreciation reinstated, also applicable to software
Hyper-depreciation 2026: up to 180% for EU-made software – an advantage for those choosing Italian solutions like Super-Flash
The 2026 Budget Law has reintroduced hyper-depreciation for investments in technologically advanced tangible and intangible assets made between January 1, 2026 and September 30, 2028.
The incentive allows companies to increase the tax value of the purchase cost by up to 180% (for investments up to €2.5 million), providing a significant tax benefit for those investing in digital technologies and Industry 4.0 solutions.
Eligible assets (listed in the new Annexes IV and V of the law) also include software, platforms, and digital solutions interconnected with company production systems.
A key requirement is that, in order to qualify for the incentive, the software must be developed within the European Union or the European Economic Area – a condition that favors Italian manufacturers such as Automa.
Automa, a software company based in Gorle (Bergamo), active since 1987, is the only independent Italian developer of SCADA software.
With Super-Flash, we provide software licenses fully compliant with EU origin requirements, along with application consulting services and technical support for the development of SCADA, HMI, and Industry 4.0 interconnection projects.
Investing today in a platform like Super-Flash means not only choosing a mature and reliable technological product, but also maximizing the tax benefits provided by the new regulation.
For more information on how to qualify for the 2026 hyper-depreciation program with our products and services, please contact our sales team directly at +39 035.32.33.911 or via e-mail at sales@automa.it.

SE5201 is an ethernet serial server that allows you to connect devices with only an RS232/RS422/RS485 serial interface
to the Ethernet.
This allows old peripherals to be interconnected to the information system even in case of machine and plant revamping.
SE5201 is configurable via a browser, and through the use of VirtualCom, the insertion of these devices is possible without the need to modify existing software, except in special cases.
On these converters Automa offers its full technical support to facilitate the customer in their first use.
On our website in the hardware section, you can view the list of ATOP products distributed by Automa and download the relevant technical documentation.
