Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

The submission describes a legitimate Italian engineering firm ('Smart Meter Srl') offering B2B IoT and prototyping services. However, the data integrity is critically low: the project name 'BlazeStorm' appears unrelated, and the traction claim ('most people have used my product') is demonstrably false for a small niche consultancy. While the underlying business has verifiable real-world utility, the submission fails to provide credible evidence of reach or revenue, resulting in a low score due to heavy penalties for unsupported claims.

Description
Characterized by a multidisciplinarity that ranges in the fields of mechanics, electronics and information technology our innovative startup realizes and designs automation systems and physical and environmental parameters detection, our experience allows us to realize a project starting from an idea, going through the CAD design and realization of a physical prototype, up to product certification. WHAT WE DO: MECHANICAL DESIGN We design machines driven by engines and mechanical systems, starting from the study of the structure passing to the calculation of the powers in play until you get to the realization of the mechanics. ELECTRONIC PROTOTYPING With the use of commercial cards (Nucleo ST, Hedison Intel) and OpenSource (such as Arduino, Raspberry) we realize prototypes of electronic circuits connected to sensors and actuators PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT Development of the entire prototyping cycle from the analysis of mechanical and electronic problems, to CAD design, to the study of design and prototype realization. IOT SOLUTIONS Systems for the detection of physical and environmental parameters from sensors in the field to data on the cloud. AUTOMATION SYSTEMS We design and build turnkey automation systems. PRODUCT CERTIFICATIONS We follow the customer in the procedures for obtaining the patent and the certification of the product.
