our initiatives
voilàp connect
In 2024, Voilàp Connect was released, a cloud-based IoT platform that allows monitoring machines from anywhere in real time.
Voilàp Connect allows improving machine performance (monitoring consumption, status and production load of machines), distributing production across connected machines (detecting critical machine downtime periods and identifying causes that negatively impact productivity), analyzing machine components in detail and supporting ESG practices (reducing consumption and waste). Based on the key user, the product has a dedicated platform, which allows achieving the following objectives:
‣ Customer (machine owners, plant managers, operators): real-time and historical monitoring of machines, plant overview, machine efficiency KPIs, production order progress, energy consumption measurement per machine/order/piece
‣ Manufacturers (after-sales, research and development): support for remote maintenance and assistance, alarm monitoring and event analysis, data collection for research and development purposes, monitoring of customer machine health and performance status and common components.
Voilàp Connect is the maximum expression of the Voilàp digital experience applied to our machines thanks to the continuous collaboration between group companies.
Industry 5.0 Ready
Voilàp machines integrate intelligent and collaborative technologies that enable our customers to take the step toward Industry 5.0—where innovation, sustainability, and economic value converge. The latest models are specifically designed to ensure increasingly lower energy and pneumatic consumption during the use. Moreover, Voilàp’s outstanding know-how allows to support customers from consumption monitoring to the funding, offering a fully integrated, end-to-end service.
refurbished imecon products
Imecon, a Voilàp group company specialized in intelligent digital signage solutions, offers various customers the possibility to upgrade already installed and functioning products, following scheduled maintenance, while guaranteeing full product functionality. This solution extends the product life cycle, allows customers to better plan financial outlays and reduces environmental impact. In particular, the Product Carbon Footprint ("PCF") calculation carried out in 2024 on Imecon products through the Life Cycle Assessment ("LCA") method revealed that the Carbon Footprint of totems is 3.79 tonnes of CO2 per piece (average per model), while that of ribbons is 0.94 tonnes of CO2 per piece (average per model).
integration of sustainability in voilap stores
The Voilàp group has undertaken the following initiatives to push the integration of sustainability into the digital store concept and customer experience:
‣ Enrichment of the online questionnaire in the purchase phase to incorporate and improve product sustainability attributes.
‣ Introduction of two sustainability indicators for energy saving and sustainable materials, based on thermal transmittance, percentage of recycled/recyclable material and availability of product/material certifications.
‣ Purchase of 100% renewable and certified energy to power Milan and Bologna stores
‣ Cloud-based digital signature solution and multilingual to manage all Voilàp Home transactions
