Interview with Michele Bugiolacchio, CTO of Plados Telma

September 19, 2022

Michele can you explain to us what is your role in the company and what do you do?

I take care of the managementone of the informaical department, starting from workflows and automations to servers, cloud, backup, web development and security.

Plados Telma has recently designed an augmented reality system, thanks to which you will be able to see via smartphone different sink models directly on your kitchen worktop. Can you explain how this works?

Thanks to augmented reality, it is possible to see a 3D reproduction of certain sinks by simply framing the QR code or clicking on the buttonone with your smartphone.
It is therefore possible to see from the camera of one's smartphone various models, in various different colours, and to be able to evaluate the forma and the colours from the comfort of one's own home or any other place, even by virtually placing them next to a physical tabletop.
I think it is an interesting and different way of looking at our products.

What do you think will be the main benefits of applying one augmented reality in Industry 4.0?

Augmented reality is only at the beginning and in the future I imagine it will be possible to have interfaces that increase the informaions available, especially for those working in production and stocking departments, with special glasses and extra informaions on what the person is looking at at that particular moment.
It will take time before these ideas can be integrated into reality, but the potential is enormous.

Digitalisation is changing the way peopleone interact with companies. On this front, what are the objectives that pone the company?

Our company has always been interested in new technologies and ways of implementation that can enhance our product for optimal and effective use by our customers.
As with AR, we try to identify the best use of what digitisation is bringing, whether the goal is to informare and reach the public, or when the goal is to improve and make production more efficient.
One of the goals that stands out the most is to use digitalisationone and new technologies to improve our relationship with the environment and our planet.

Kitchen sink mixers: how to choose?

Plados Telma propone a wide range of kitchen sink mixers that combine functionality and design and are suitable for any type of environment. The first step to follow in making your choice is the type of mixer that can be installed on the sink, depending on whether it rests on the sink or on the worktop.

Classy sinks for kitchens and open-plan living rooms

Increasingly, kitchens and living rooms are being designed and realised as a single open space with an open kitchen to the living area. An open space that stems from the desire to have a larger room for socialising and conviviality. A trend born after the restrictions of the pandemic that forced everyone...

The performance of Rinnova, the green kitchen sink from Plados Telma

First of all, what is a green sink? We mean a kitchen sink obtained according to the principles of the circular economy. The circular economy is based on the concept of recycling and reuse, and is a particular model of development and production that strives to transform what would otherwise be considered waste into a useful resource. The circular economy...
