S3I is a case of success in the industry innovation area

The 6th Brazilian Congress of Innovation in Industry recognizes the 22 major successes in 2014

A case of success in the book "Innovation is doing: 22 cases of innovation in small, medium and large businesses", promoted by CNI along with Sebrae, Pred Engenharia is among the Brazilian companies that stood out and were successful in the field of innovation. This success is due to the initiative in acting in the predictive dimension, with the use of advanced methods for managing the industrial maintenance (coming from the long experience in the area), with operating systems for planning and process control. Thus was born the Intelligent System of Industrial Intervention (S3I), a software capable of integrating all modules and failure mechanisms of industrial equipment.

"I feel flattered to participate in a publication such as this. It is gratifying to be able to contribute to the competitiveness of national industry, which needs more than ever to optimize their costs in maintaining their equipment, because this issue is 20% to 40% of the total cost of production", says the CEO the Pred, Ozório Rezende.

Pred Engenharia was rewarded in other awards focused in innovation, such as the classification in the 11th edition of the MPE Brazil promoted by Sebrae in which Pred Engenharia competed against about 93 thousand companies across the country. Pred Engenharia was considered a 'A Case of Success at the National Productive Chaining Forum', and also won the Recognition in Business Management amongst the 200 largest companies of Espírito Santo, given by IEL-ES in 2014.
