Manini Connect Triumphs at Digital360 Awards
The revolutionary self-monitoring technology for buildings patented by Manini Prefabbricati wins the prestigious award in the IoT category.
The adventure of Manini Prefabbricati concludes with a true triumph in its absolute debut in a competition reserved for companies operating in Industry 4.0. Against all odds, the revolutionary building monitoring system Manini Connect has won the Digital360 Awards in the Internet of Things category. From July 4th to 6th, after successfully passing the first selection among 200 candidate projects, Manini Prefabbricati took part in the final phase of the award, which reserved a fantastic epilogue.
The jury, composed of 73 CIOs from the most important Italian and international companies, was particularly impressed by the linearity and effectiveness of a patented system, destined to revolutionize the concept of monitoring and management of prefabricated buildings, both for industrial and civil use.
Manini Prefabbricati also surprised the organizers with its innovative capacity, being a company that should symbolize the old economy, making its system appreciated for its concreteness but also for its effectiveness in responding to real needs such as seismic safety and the need for facility management.
Developed in line with the drift of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT), Manini Connect represents the state of the art in terms of safety, prevention, and intelligent management of prefabricated structures. A solution that can be adopted not only in the ex-novo construction phase but also during the redevelopment of pre-existing prefabricated buildings.
CEO Eng. Manuel Boccolini does not hide his happiness at this important moment.
“The seven minutes of my speech on stage were intense, difficult to explain,” says Manuel Boccolini, CEO of Manini Prefabbricati. “In the short time available, we had to condense years of research and development, years of work and passion that involved each of us – managers, technicians, sales representatives, and workers. It’s a victory but also a starting point from which to move forward without wasting time, because we already need to respond to the many who, after seeing what Manini Connect can do, want to sit down with us and discuss it at a commercial level. This is how we are: it’s that desire to always look beyond that has led Manini Prefabbricati to be a leader in its sector.”
Great satisfaction also from President Arnaldo Manini, who has always been the first supporter of the Manini Connect project.
“I am proud to realize how much of my vision I have managed to transmit to this company and to those who are part of it,” states Arnaldo Manini, President of Manini Prefabbricati. “Our achievement goes beyond winning an award, albeit a prestigious one. We have confronted a sector that, in theory, was new to us, and we have brought home yet another victory. The secret lies in some fixed points that make Manini Prefabbricati a rare case in this market. First, there is our structure, which combines family-style cohesion with an efficient organization. Then there are the investments in R&D, fundamental for a company that must never stop. Finally, there is that mix of curiosity, humility, and passion that leads us to listen to people’s needs, to want to learn something new every day, and to share it with this wonderful family of which I am proud to be the founder.”
