Organisation profile

NSB is a consulting company founded in 2004 in Mantova, initially focused on local development projects. In 2013 it expanded its focus by adding technology innovation services with a focus on digital transformation of production processes. The permanent exchange with EU leading R&D and Technology Providers and the increasing demand for scouting and investment-oriented consulting services gave birth to a new dedicated engineering unit based on an innovative consulting method called FutureNow.

The method supports SMEs in a) analysing production processes before taking investment decisions, b) identifying bottlenecks and analysing alternatives, c) finding the most valuable technologies, d) reducing the financial impact of new investments, e) the adoption of identified technologies.

Field of expertise: products and services essential to value-added benefit

Process & Investment Simulation. NSB helps SMEs to understand if and how new production and digital technologies may improve their processes. This service is supported by SIM VSM, a SW developed by Simplan, which facilitates value stream mapping 4.0 and the analysis of alternatives to current production processes.

Technology Scouting.

NSB connects SMEs to R&D players and technology providers, and delivers rapid and effective Technology Scouting. Thanks to IGOR AI software, the team searches through millions of scientific articles, patents, and suppliers to provide the right information. Nerosubianco is the exclusive licensee of both solutions for the Italian market.
