Autostrade per l'Italia

A digital model that does not merely represent the barrier, but becomes the gateway to understanding it.

The collaboration between Autostrade per l'Italia, Desys Srl, and Prosoft has led to the creation—via the Linkersys platform—of an interactive system based on a 3D representation of the barriers.

Autostrade per l'Italia sought to streamline and structure the management of safety barriers and their spare parts by linking component identification directly to subsequent procurement activities.

The collaboration between Autostrade per l'Italia, Desys Srl, and Prosoft resulted in the creation of an interactive system based on 3D representations of the barriers, utilizing the Linkersys platform. The project was managed and coordinated by Gavriel Caivano, Head of Safety Barriers, Noise Barriers, and Minor Assets (Engineering) at Autostrade per l'Italia.

The 3D modeling of the various barrier types—developed in collaboration with Prosoft - serves as an interface allowing technicians to recognize configurations, explore structures, and access information on individual components.

This experience extends directly into the field via augmented reality, enabling the digital barrier to be visualized over the actual infrastructure; this allows for the identification of specific components, right down to the individual bolt.

The system enables users to:

  • identify the barrier type using the 3D model and augmented reality
  • pinpoint the component requiring replacement directly within the model
  • define the length of the barrier section involved in the intervention
  • automatically determine the necessary components based on the configuration
  • view available suppliers and their pricing
  • select a supplier and generate a purchase list detailing components and quantities

The solution establishes a seamless link between technical data, the 3D model, augmented reality, spare parts, suppliers, and procurement, transforming the digital model from a mere geometric representation into a genuine operational tool for maintenance. Thanks to Desys technology and the Linkersys platform, Autostrade per l'Italia can guide the technician from the identification of the barrier to the finalization of the order, thereby reducing information fragmentation and standardizing the spare parts management process.

From 3D model to augmented reality.
From barrier to individual bolt.
From component to purchase order.

A digital model that does more than just represent the barrier - it becomes the gateway to understanding it.
