The Digital Day combined the conference with the workshop format, enabling Ognibene Power employees and leadership to learn more and get hands-on with the latest technological innovations. And, even though this was an internal event, there were also some exclusively invited business guests which had the opportunity to showcase emerging technologies that are paving the way towards Industry 4.0. JoinPad and WeAR presented their Augmented Reality solutions; VR Zone created virtual experiences, FabLab brought 3D printing.
During the conference, CEO Claudio Ognibene delivered the keynote address on past results and future trends of the company. Then he awarded the employees whose ideas have been implemented, followed by the R&D Manager presenting the EIMA International award-winning solution called Digital Power Steering (DPS), a smart system that can be placed over the traditional steering systems in off-highway vehicles to add new functionalities as autonomous driving and GPS.
The award ceremony for employees whose ideas helped Ognibene Power thrive.

Later, at our workshop, Ognibene’ workers, as well as managers, tested our Augmented Reality solutions – Smart Assistance and BrainPad – directly on the DPS system mentioned above, through tablets, smartphones, and HoloLens. We have received very positive and enthusiastic feedback, confirming the benefits AR can have within smart factories.
The event was definitely a success. We thank very much Mr. Claudio Ognibene, his sister Cristina and Alessandro Saracino from Fondazione Golinelli for inviting us not only to show our products but also to hold a speech as the only external guests.
