GLM S.p.A. Greentech Laser Manufacturing, an Italian leader in industrial cleaning machines, needed to deliver secure, seamless, and reliable connectivity for its smart systems operating in multiple international markets. In this article, we explore how Telecom26 helped GLM meet its connectivity goals and streamline operations with a single global SIM solution.

Tackling the Toughest IoT Connectivity Challenges in Industry & Manufacturing

As industrial companies push forward with automation, data-driven operations, and remote asset management, connectivity becomes a make-or-break factor in digital transformation. But despite the growing demand, many manufacturers still face the same roadblocks when deploying IoT devices across global sites.

If you're rolling out predictive maintenance sensors, connected controllers, or mobile industrial machines, you’ve probably run into at least a few of these challenges:

• Inconsistent or unreliable coverage across regions
• The headache of managing multiple mobile operators
• Complex SIM logistics and fragmented operations
• No centralized visibility into usage or performance
• Multiple bills in different formats, currencies, and languages

These aren’t just technical inconveniences they're business blockers.

The Reality: IoT Deployments Aren’t One-Size-Fits-All

From smart factories in Italy to industrial robots in Asia or remote equipment in South America, each location has different network dynamics. Traditional mobile operators often fall short when asked to support industrial-grade deployments across borders and technologies.

That’s where Telecom26 steps in with a truly global, flexible, and business-ready approach to IoT connectivity for manufacturing.

How GLM Solved Their Global Connectivity Problem?

One example is GLM S.p.A., a leader in automation, robotics, and industrial machinery. Their smart cleaning systems, built for automotive plants, required real-time connectivity via Teltonika routers but their global growth was limited by a patchwork of local SIMs and network contracts.

In addition to streamlining connectivity with Telecom26, GLM provides its customers around the globe with remote technical assistance in complete safety, thanks to cybersecurity procedures certified by Bureau Veritas under ISO 27001.

The pain points GLM faced:

• Multiple vendor relationships to manage
• Inconsistent network quality and coverage
• No single view of SIM usage or alerts
• Time-consuming setup and billing

The Telecom26 difference:

• One global provider across 200+ countries
• Access to 600+ mobile networks with automatic switching
• Full SIM control, alerts, and diagnostics in a single portal
• One invoice, one contract—no matter how many countries are involved

"We no longer worry about SIM logistics or inconsistent networks. Everything works, everywhere, with one portal and a single monthly bill."

— Stefano Lombardi CEO at GLM S.p.A. Greentech Laser Manufacturing  

GLM now ships globally connected machines that are plug-and-play ready for any site, anywhere.
