Italpresse Gauss transforms industrial maintenance with AVEVA and augmented reality

Italpresse Gauss tapped into new revenue streams by using AVEVA System Platform, AVEVA InTouch HMI and an AR/VR solution combined with Digital Twin and Monitor and Control to create a custom HMI and a one-of-a-kind remote maintenance service. The challenge: bring Industry 4.0 technologies to the traditional aluminum die-casting sector, test new approaches to asset performance management and operator training using augmented and virtual reality, and bring these concepts to market within a tight timeframe. AVEVA solutions work with other OEM devices and platforms, strengthening Italpresse Gauss's leadership position in Industry 4.0 and opening up new business opportunities while enhancing its industrial monitoring.

Objectives

FAQ

How does AVEVA contribute to the modernization of municipal infrastructure?
AVEVA provides an integrated industrial supervision platform that centralizes the management of municipal technical services: lighting, energy, water, security and public buildings. This consolidation enables local authorities to manage their infrastructure from a single control center, optimize energy consumption and improve the quality of service to citizens. Urban digital transformation relies on this ability to unify real-time data from heterogeneous equipment.
What role does AVEVA System Platform play in managing public buildings?
AVEVA System Platform acts as an industrial operating system for public buildings. It models equipment (HVAC, lighting, access control) as standardized objects, facilitates multi-vendor integration and gives managers a consolidated view. This object-oriented architecture makes it possible to quickly replicate configurations from one building to another, reducing engineering costs and accelerating deployment across a municipal real estate portfolio.
How does AVEVA Historian help local authorities optimize their services?
AVEVA Historian archives high-resolution real-time data from all municipal equipment. This industrial database feeds performance analyses, energy consumption reports and strategic dashboards. Local authorities can thus identify energy-intensive buildings, anticipate maintenance needs and justify their investments with factual data. It is a pillar of the digital transformation of public services.
Why is energy supervision a major issue for local authorities?
Public buildings are often a local authority's largest energy expense. AVEVA industrial supervision makes it possible to continuously measure consumption, detect drifts and adjust setpoints (heating, lighting) according to actual occupancy. Beyond financial savings, this approach supports the ecological transition and carbon footprint reduction goals required of public bodies.
What benefits does industrial supervision bring to a public service?
AVEVA industrial supervision brings public services centralized operations, greater responsiveness to incidents, lower operating costs and better regulatory traceability. Technical teams have a unified view from a control room, which simplifies coordination and speeds up decision-making. It is a structuring investment that lastingly transforms performance and the quality of service delivered to users.
