Italy-based Breton is a leading manufacturer of equipment, machines, and plants that produce and process engineered stone, natural stone (marble, granite, and ornamental), and metals. The company modernized its infrastructure for Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments, where unplanned downtime is not an option and OT useability is critical to unburden IT.

With the goal to innovate their production processes and enhance their business performance, Breton focused on two key objectives: a solution that ensured business continuity and one that was easy for operators to deploy and manage. Partnering with Wonderware Italia, they incorporated Stratus ztC Edge, leveraging its easy-to-support high availability/fault tolerance and built-in virtualization to run AVEVA System Platform, HMI/SCADA, and historian applications.
