Ducati Motor Holding SpA is classified as a witness of Made in Italy thanks to the spread of motorcycles with an unmistakable design in over 60 countries around the world. The company offers motorcycle components, clothing and safety devices, as well as an after-sales maintenance and assistance service. The Ducati Museum, inside the factory, offers visitors a journey through the history of the company from its inception to the present day.

For almost 20 years, CPL CONCORDIA has had a contract in place with Ducati for the maintenance of technological systems. Following a Need for energy saving, CPL has started, in collaboration with Ducati’s technical department and maintenance service, theimplementation of the BMS automation and control system, which represents an important application for the savings results achieved.

• The project led to the installation on a virtual machine of the central supervisory server station at the Customer’s Data Center. The installed architecture is based on communications that use the company’s structured cabling for data transmission between the individual controllers and the central server
• Dedicated Contact Center service available 365 days a year, 24 hours a day
• The system can be expanded both within the single automation and acquisition panel and centrally, allowing the implementation of new functions useful to the Building Management System (BMS)
• The use of standard protocols for Building Automation (such as BACnet® IP, Modbus TCP, Knx, etc.) will allow data integration with controllers and platforms from different suppliers, thus fulfilling the basic characteristic that modern Building Automation architectures must have
• Automation of the operation of heating and air conditioning systems
• Remote management of systems
• Detection, historicization and archiving of the trends of the quantities useful for performance or efficiency evaluations of the plant

The Building Management System (BMS) had the task of adapt the energy production and distribution system to the demand carrying out measurement, monitoring, diagnostics and control functions in order to achieve energy performance levels expected at the project under certain environmental conditions. It has proved necessary to Constant data analysis (continuous commissioning) of energy and plant systems through the use of automation and control systems.
The installation of a BMS system has made it possible to increase attention to energy saving and to start an awareness campaign that involved all Ducati staff, which has led to significant savings in Electricity, Methane Gas and Industrial Water.
