Keyword: INNOVATE Interview with Fabrizio Bernini, President of Zucchetti Centro Sistemi Spa If you always do what you ve always done, you will always get what you ve always got A. Einstein What does it mean for you to innovate today? Innovation is seeing what everyone sees and thinks about something that no one has thought of yet. It is the impetus to achieve a goal through non-traditional methods. Innovation must stimulate companies to create new products, bringing uniqueness to the development of a project. Therefore, the secret to obtain a good level of competitiveness is to anticipate the needs of the market, creating something that does not yet exist. How important is innovation to Zucchetti Centro Sistemi? Innovation is the heart of Zucchetti Centro Sistemi s business culture. At ZCS, we believe that innovation is the only path to development and that true value is represented by ideas and creativity. ZCS does not present itself on the market as a company specialising in garden care products, but rather as a specialist in the fields of agriculture and home automation. We make robots that can be used in different sectors. We consider ourselves specialists in these areas and, as such, we are able to offer guarantees and assurances. At ZCS, we focus strongly on diversification - software, mechanics and electronics - in order to offer the best mechatronic solutions. In this regard, our Laboratory of Ideas consisting of highly qualified personnel, creates projects and products not yet available on the market, but that the market is ready to receive. This is how the line of Ambrogio robotic lawnmowers was born! How was Ambrogio robot born? Ambrogio robot was born 15 years ago. The insight was to use the excellent skills present in the company to create an autonomous system to care for and maintain a garden. Ambrogio is now present on the market with a comprehensive range of products able to cover areas of 30,000 and to handle lawns of any size, shape and difficulty. The newest addition to the Ambrogio range is L400 Elite, designed to manage large areas of 30,000, including parks, airfields, golf courses and soccer fields. It is equipped with referential GPS that delivers high-precision mowing, which has not been available on the market until now. The use of this new technology licensed exclusively to ZCS allows the L400 Elite to offer excellent technical performances with high-precision mowing (3 cm) in a very short time. What new products and features were introduced in 2014? In 2014, the range of Ambrogio robotic lawnmowers was technically improved and expanded, and the first robotic pool cleaner, Nemh 2 o made its debut: a small robot with amazing power and efficiency. Nemh 2 o requires no power cords, it can work 365 days a year, it recharges itself in complete autonomy in water by means of induction and is programmed through Bluetooth. Nemh 2 o means there is no longer any need to cover the pool, even in winter, thus saving on operating costs. However, the real innovation of Nemh 2 o is that it makes use of the large filters present in every pool. The Nemh 2 o turbines break up leaves and debris deposited in the water and stimulate the work of the large filters. This means that the Nemh 2 o filter rarely needs to be cleaned. What other solutions does Zucchetti Centro Sistemi design and manufacture? In addition to the Ambrogio and Nemh 2 o lines, other projects being developed by the ZCS Robotics Division relate to the world of energy, such as the revolutionary Elios Mobile, the innovative energy storage system with solar panels. There are also the robotic feeding systems called Groom robot and Dog robot for horses and dogs, respectively. The offer continues with automated solutions developed by our Automation Division: conveyor belts for automatic wardrobe systems and dirty garments, distributors for folded garments, machines for receiving dirty garments, automatic pick-up doors, etc. which can be used in hospitals, industrial plants, hospitality facilities, professional laundries, private sectors (spas and gyms). The company also has Software and Healthcare divisions that develop software products tailored to the specific needs of industrial and healthcare sectors.

AMBROGIO A LEGEND BORN TO LAST ORIGINAL PARTS: GUARANTEE OF SAFETY AND DURABILITY All the new models in the Ambrogio range have been designed to last. Every single detail has an innovative feature: hardwearing plastic, sturdy wheels and structure, maximum performance to cover the lawn in the MAXIMUM INNOVATION AND ATTRACTIVE DESIGN The Ambrogio robots perfectly combine the most advanced technology with a Made In Italy design STRENGTH The value of the robot is estimated by its materials. Ambrogio is made with strong, long-lasting materials TIMES Fast charging and optimised re-entry times shortest time possible with the aim of preserving the machine. Never neglecting safety, design and Made In Italy style, Ambrogio stands out for its excellent performance and innovative features. RESISTANCE Working time of up to 8 hours, manages large areas in the shortest time possible What distinguishes Ambrogio Robot from its competitors? WORK AREAS Each garden has its own requirements: small and large areas, simple and complex, with obstacles or slopes. Ambrogio meets them all SLOPES Manages slopes of 45% without any problems, 25% near the perimeter wire. For the L85 model, the maximum slope is 55% (35% near the wire) ZCS s commitment to safety means the components of Ambrogio are carefully selected, tested, and eventually discarded if they do not meet the company s high standards for placing the products on the market. So why buy the best robotic lawnmower and then not preserve its technical qualities? This is why you should only use original parts: Original parts ensure the quality standard, and allow maintaining the original performances of the machine. The use of original parts is the best choice in the long term. In fact, even though nonoriginal parts are less expensive, they do not offer the certainty of maintaining the performances of the Ambrogio robot and can lead to serious damage. The use of non-original parts inevitably leads to total loss of the warranty, since the replaced parts may damage other important components of the machine. Ambrogio has been designed to stand the test of time; the use of original parts ensures long service life of the robot in line with the expectations. Ambrogio is a real robotic lawn mower: Do not underestimate its maintenance! For some parts, such as the cutting blade and perimeter wire, there is also the safety aspect. In fact, the use of original parts, having the same quality as those used in production, guarantees conformity of the Ambrogio machines with the European directives on safety and functionality. Here are some problems that may arise from the use of non-original parts: No full coverage of the area to be mowed Loss of signal of the perimeter wire Oxidation of the perimeter wire Danger of collision with the blades of the robot if non-compliant. All the robots in the Ambrogio line are the result of in-depth studies and extensive field tests performed to determine the behaviour and to prevent any anomalies. Ambrogio also has CE Certification which means it fully meets the most stringent international safety standards. STANDARD RAIN SENSORS Working in the rain can ruin the lawn and machine, Ambrogio robot is equipped with rain sensors that can be disabled if necessary. WIDE RANGE 15 models that can manage areas 30,000
