DAMA

DAMA

Hardware, audiovisual solutions, and automation systems driving digital innovation.

The DAMA Technopole, or Technopole Data Manufacturing Emilia-Romagna, is a centre of excellence for technological innovation in the heart of the city: a real hub within the Emilia-Romagna Data Valley, created to support businesses of all sizes in developing new products and in the digital transformation process.
Touchwindow has created a turnkey hardware, audio and video infrastructure inside the Botti B4 building, designed to host flexible and collaborative workspaces.

 

CLIENT NEED

Reconfigurable spaces for multifunctional environments

DAMA is located at the former Tobacco Factory (Manifattura Tabacchi) in Bologna, covering an area of over 140,000 m² of significant architectural value. Inside one of the arched buildings that make up the complex, named Botti B4, Touchwindow has designed a technological installation characterised by high flexibility and intended for multiple uses.

The goal was to create reconfigurable spaces to host different types of events, with areas dedicated to work, exhibitions, and conferences, with a particular focus on demonstrating emerging technologies in line with the mission of the Technopole.

CONCEPT

OverIP audio-video excellence and smart automation

The Botti B4 Building hosts offices, reception areas, meeting rooms, and conference halls used by Technopole stakeholders. To meet different needs, the design focused on two main objectives:

  • to ensure flexibility and speed in reconfiguring spaces depending on the type of event;
  • to provide automation and centralised management to simplify use and reduce the resources required.

 

Meeting rooms, welcome areas, event spaces, and auditoriums make up a multifunctional environment designed to encourage collaboration and sharing.

DESIGN AND PRODUCTION

videoconferencing solutions and integrated AV systems

The Botti B4 workspaces have been designed as integrated digital ecosystems, suitable for both in-person and remote collaboration.

The meeting rooms (Huddle Room and Medium Meeting Room) are equipped with:

  • 55” and 65” professional displays on motorised trolleys for easy reconfiguration;
  • videoconferencing systems sized according to room capacity;
  • modular microphones with RightSound technology for optimal audio quality;
  • additional cameras for smooth interaction between in-room and remote participants.

 

The representative areas have been equipped with large-format displays up to 98”, OverIP audio-video distribution systems, PTZ cameras, microphone systems, and sound systems.

For the Auditorium, a centralised audio-video control room has been created, capable of managing complex events with minimal resources, also serving as a control centre for unified room management in room-combining mode.

SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE

24/7 operational continuity

Touchwindow has designed the entire networking system and special cabling to support the technological infrastructure. The ecosystem is certified to ensure 24/7 operational continuity with no data loss.

The technical staff at Technopole has been trained to guarantee first-level management autonomy, while Touchwindow provides on-site support with certified technicians for critical situations and proper vendor escalation processes.

A turnkey installation, designed to last over time, which enhances innovation through the most advanced audio-video technologies.
