Three historic theatres in the heart of Reggio Emilia:<\/span><\/p>

Teatro Valli, Teatro Ariosto, and Teatro Cavallerizza\u00a0 form a complex known as iTeatri di Reggio Emilia. Since the late nineteenth century, they have been cultural symbols of the city, characterized by monumental auditoriums, loges, stages, and ancillary spaces with vastly different environmental requirements.<\/span><\/p>

Each day these spaces host rehearsals, performances, and hundreds of spectators. Air quality, heat comfort, and the silent operation of the systems become an integral part of the theatrical experience.
In this context Coster carried out the improvement and digitalization of the air handling systems, designing the new control system with CosterCAD and integrating it for supervision of the WebGarage platform based on FIN Framework by J2 Innovations, installed on servers inside the theatres and managed by the technical staff of the theatre complex.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The project involved three different facilities:
an advanced revamping for Teatro Ariosto, replacement of the existing control system at Teatro Valli, and a complete structural intervention for the systems at Cavallerizza..
<\/span>The purpose of the project is to manage the production of fluids and regulate the room temperature inside the halls during the hours they are occupied. All control logic is loaded directly onto each controller, creating a distributed intelligence logic capable of operating autonomously even in the absence of communication between elements.
The WebGarage platform enables centralized supervision of the three theatres, keeping the systems independent but coordinated by a single digital control center.
All the regulating logics are directly imported on the controllers, with a smart allocation architecture, able to guarantee a uninterrapted job even in the event of a lack of communication with the supervisor.<\/p>

The program was developed to adapt to the performance schedule and variations in occupancy, with dynamic management of:<\/p>
