We design the electrics, write the software, commission the system.
We're the automation partner for those who build machines and plants — OEMs, machine builders and system integrators. We don't build the machines: we design the electrical schematics, write the PLC/SCADA software and bring them into service, in Italy and abroad.
One partner, from the electrical schematic to commissioning
Electrical design, control software and commissioning under one roof. We don't build the machines — we make them work. And the people who design are the same who commission in the field: no handovers, no responsibility lost along the way.

Where we've been hands-on
Real experience alongside machine builders, OEMs and system integrators — industrial compressor testing, biogas and biomethane plants, gas compression stations.
Process & Manufacturing
Our primary area of expertise: process plant automation, material handling, batching and production lines. Revamping and modernisation of existing installations.
Oil & Gas and Energy
Control systems for energy, process and distribution plants. Gas compression, biogas and upgrading to biomethane.
Pharmaceutical & Life Sciences
Automation competencies applicable to regulated environments: PLC/SCADA, commissioning and functional testing, in line with documentation and validation requirements.
Over ten years in the field, always hands-on
CRA S.R.L. — Automation Services is built on more than ten years of work in industrial automation. A lean, highly specialised team led by Clirim Ramadani, where the same people who design the system are the ones who commission it in the field.
No subcontracting chains, no responsibility lost along the way: we follow every project directly, from PLC logic to plant start-up. Based in the Marche region (Servigliano, FM, Italy), we travel across Italy, Europe and beyond for the on-site commissioning of our clients' machines and plants.
When it's needed, we build it in software
Alongside automation we develop custom tools — from Industry 4.0 to business management and tools for AI agents. We use them first, then open them up to companies like yours.
Let's talk about your plant.
Or your software.
