On November 21, our CEO, Ivan Allevi, was among the speakers at the meeting organized by PCA Technologies, titled “Environmental Monitoring. Case Studies and Future Perspectives,” held in Milan at the prestigious Palazzo Castiglioni (Corso Venezia, 47).
The presentation, titled «IoT + AI in the Real World: from Smart Assistants to Electronic Noses — New Frontiers for Monitoring and Interacting with Systems», explored how the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industrial and infrastructural contexts.

Technology Focus: Sensory Digital Twins
The speech highlighted Allix’s role in Research and Development, with a particular focus on advanced monitoring applications:
“In an increasingly interconnected era, the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) merge to create innovative scenarios: intelligent voice assistants, 24/7 monitoring agents, and advanced sensory devices such as ‘electronic noses’.”
Engineer Allevi illustrated how AI, integrated into Allix’s proprietary IoT systems, enables advanced control of installations—from voice command to the continuous analysis of operational parameters.
An aspect of great interest was the application of olfactory technologies (e-nose) as intelligent nodes in the IoT network. These “electronic noses” can detect and analyze anomalies, odor emissions, or critical operating conditions, transforming complex data into immediate decisions for predictive maintenance.

Architectures and Future Challenges
The presentation also touched upon more technical and architectural aspects, which are fundamental to ensuring the reliability and scalability required by the market:
● Edge/Cloud Architectures: The importance of processing data directly on the device (Edge Computing) to reduce latency and improve system responsiveness.
● Recognition Algorithms: How AI is trained to accurately identify anomaly patterns.
● Integration Challenges: Security, interoperability, and managing latency in distributed systems.

Participation in this event confirmed the positioning of Allix S.R.L. as a strategic partner in technological innovation, bringing R&D excellence from the laboratory to field application.
