Indeed, the market for industrial automation systems offered enormous potential in this period, allowing the flexibility and power of this new technology to really make its mark. This is the scenario in which Micro Systems was founded by Paolo Melegoni, Giancarlo Scianna and Fausto Tosi. The common goal of the founders was to work in a professional manner and put their personal experience to good use.
