Automation rethought - now with state funding

SOMA systems and solutions from the fields of test technology, dosing technology and worker assistance can be claimed for tax purposes until 2027 with 30% declining balance depreciation - a clear advantage for companies in the mechanical engineering sector that want to invest in automation technology. This creates leeway, relieves pressure on budgets and accelerates the implementation of important modernisation and production automation projects.
 

What is behind the investment and innovation boosters?

With the current funding stimuli, the German government is sending a clear signal for the modernisation of Germany as an industrial location and the digitalisation of production. The aim is to motivate companies to implement necessary investments more quickly, more predictably and more economically - particularly in automation systems, Industry 4.0 solutions and smart factory concepts that increase productivity, conserve resources and digitalise production processes.
 

The investment booster - invest faster, benefit faster

The investment booster enables a 30% declining balance depreciation for new machines and systems. This means that companies can claim significantly higher tax relief on acquisition costs in the first few years and thus noticeably reduce the strain on their liquidity. Among other things, the following are subsidised

• Automation and manufacturing systems for industrial production
• Testing technology and quality assurance
• Dosing and application technology for efficient and sustainable production processes
• Digital assistance and Industry 4.0 systems for worker assistance and process control
• Software, hardware and sensor technology to increase efficiency and modernise production

The Innovation Booster - thinking ahead with technologies

The Innovation Booster is aimed at companies that want to digitalise, automate and modernise their production processes. Funding is provided for investments that directly lead to

• greater efficiency,
• more process stability,
• lower error rates and
• more sustainable use of materials.

This means that central SOMA technologies - such as automated testing technology, innovative dosing technology and intelligent worker assistance systems - are fully covered by the funding framework and are now realising their added value even faster.
 

More efficiency. More quality. More future.

Our systems support companies where they need it most: in terms of process reliability, reducing the workload of specialist staff and digitalising key production steps. SOMA offers tried-and-tested solutions for production automation, Industry 4.0 and the smart factory.
 

Test technology - quality without compromise

• Maximum process reliability in automated test sequences
• Seamless, digital documentation for quality assurance
• Seamless integration into existing production lines and manufacturing systems

Dosing technology - precision that pays off

• Precise, low-loss application of lubricants, greases and media
• Less waste and more sustainability thanks to precise dispensing technology
• Efficient, scalable system solutions for modern production systems

Worker assistance - digital support, smarter production

• Guided processes directly at the workplace thanks to digital worker assistance systems
• Fewer errors, faster onboarding and standardised processes
• Strong basis for Industry 4.0, Smart Factory and further production digitalisation
