FAQ

The industry of the future is a response to several simultaneous transitions: energy, ecology, digital, organisational and societal. It is bringing about a significant evolution in organisation, management methods and economic models for companies. The concept of the industry of the future is rooted in multiple technologies, but it can be explained simply, in three words: « the industry of the future is optimised, connected and creative ». Optimised, flexible, agile and responsive, companies optimise the industrial fundamentals and organise themselves into networks by developing new technological , strategic and territorial alliances thanks to opportunities relating to the introduction of new technologies and digital technology in particular. The industry of the future is connected at all levels: products, humans, equipment and objects are connected to each other. A totally integrated digital chain runs through production lines. The company is also connected to its regional ecosystem. Finally, the industry of the future is creative. Product marketing is replaced by marketing of the uses expected by users. This makes it possible to invent new business models. It creativity is also expressed by the permanent development of new skills with an organisation and management modes revisited in particular to develop the employee autonomy.
