LE AZIENDE INFORMANO
and improve safety and environmental performance. PERPETUO, Gefond's predictive maintenance
software, can use Machine Learning algorithms to continuously monitor machinery and its trends to
determine any anomalies in advance and reduce downtime.
The collected and structured data can help managers and CEOs make the right strategic decisions
with awareness, support maintenance teams in their daily activities by simplifying processes, and
make each machine more reliable by constantly monitoring it in real time.
Maintenance is a strategic factor in business success and must be aimed at achieving the highest
level of availability of assets and all elements that contribute to production, accomplishing this goal
effectively, quickly and economically. Gefond is a partner of Anfia (Italian Association of the Automotive
Industry) for courses on maintenance.
Sustainability
Gefond researches, proposes and sells technologically advanced energy-efficient equipment that are
sustainable through lower CO2 emissions, increased energy efficiency, and reduced consumption of
natural resources. Common environmental goals can only be achieved by incorporating new technologies
and rethinking production processes from a sustainable perspective. Thus was born HPDC by
Gefond, which with its temperature control units affirms the principles of sustainability.
HPDC by Gefond temperature control units are sustainable thanks to the patented energy-saving
technology that saves up to 85% of electricity compared to conventional controllers.
Servitization
Servitized models underpin sustainable processes, as they can help improve assets, increase their
lifecycle life and respond to the 4Rs paradigm - reduce, reuse, recycle and recover - leading companies
to adopt a circular economy development model. At the same time, digital technologies, by
allowing full visibility of assets, make it possible to bring to life a proactive service that can best meet
customer needs; with this focus on service, costs can be reduced and value can also be created in
terms of sustainability. We have always experienced digital as an element in optimizing our factories.
But today to attack new markets we have to go and take marginality somewhere else, for example by
selling machine-related services.
