Expertise becomes technology.
Expertise
Solve your challenges. Deliver your projects.
Our industrial experts work alongside your teams to improve operations, bring projects to life and turn your investments into performance.
Technologies
Your teams’ know-how. Powered by AI.
Our applications guide your teams through daily operations and give AI the right information to inform your decisions. Exceed your production targets. Raise your reliability standards.
Our industrial environments
Industries where complexity is part of the job.
Aeronautics
A discipline built on rigour: a sky full of constraints, millions of parts and no room for anything to be forgotten.
Medium series · increasing rates · evolving standards
A part changes — from a rivet to a fuselage section —, an adhesive is no longer approved, the work instruction is revised: production keeps moving. Several versions coexist on the shop floor, and it must always be possible to prove which one applied to what.
Space
Building machines we may never see again — or almost never — for an environment that forgives nothing.
Unique units · non-repeatable operations
With one-off builds, there is no routine: an operator carries out a sequence they have never performed before, on a launcher or satellite unlike any other, far from the people who wrote the procedure. An error is measured not in parts, but in months.
Defence
Systems designed to last forty years, operated in a world that changes every six months.
Small series · sovereignty · isolated networks
From an electronic component to an armoured vehicle, data cannot leave the site: sovereignty constraints rule out part of the market. Tools are selected for compliance — and the shop floor makes up the difference on paper.
Energy
Colossal installations, shut down for only a few weeks each decade — with an entire country waiting behind them.
Installed base · planned outages · concurrent work
During an outage, dozens of interventions follow one another, each governed by a permit and a lockout regime. The restart date does not move: every lost hour is paid for across the master schedule.
Shipbuilding
Three-hundred-metre cathedrals of steel, assembled over years by thousands of hands.
300 m hulls · no-network zones · concurrent work
The information exists, complete and up to date — but far from where the question arises, inside a metal hull with no signal. So people decide without it, write in a notebook and enter it again later, or not at all. The ship and the office live hours apart.
Not an industry — a moment
Industries being written
Every decade gives rise to entirely new industries. Supporting them at the beginning is a privilege.
Hydrogen · batteries · New Space · e-fuels
From proof of concept to series production, the procedure changes because something new has just been learned — and that is healthy. But units have already left with the previous version, some stations still use an obsolete one, and nobody knows which applied to what. Production rate does not wait.

Our difference. Expertise begins on the shop floor. Applications grow out of our expertise.
Signals from the shop floor
Do these questions sound familiar?
KPI
Decide, don’t decode.
Do you spend more time working out what lies behind your KPIs than deciding what they should enable you to do?
Capacity
The schedule is already out of date.
Does every morning begin with rearranging the schedule and dealing with yesterday’s emergencies?
Bottleneck
More resources — really?
Have you ever added a machine or more operators to increase capacity, only to see the bottleneck move somewhere else?
Quality
More output, at what cost?
Has a higher production rate also brought more defects, rework or inspections?
Compliance
The real process has changed.
Do your procedures still describe what actually happens on the shop floor — or have working practices evolved while the quality system stayed behind?
Data
Enter. Re-enter. Repeat.
Is the same information still written on paper, re-entered in Excel, sent by email and then tracked in another tool?
Tools
The file holding the process together.
Does part of your operation still depend on a file that only one person truly knows how to use?
Transformation
Are the gains really there?
After investing time and resources, can you measure the results precisely — and verify that they last?
(Yes, we know: C is the awkward one.)
Control, the final DMAIC phase — the one that always gets skipped.Investment
Which scenario should you actually commit to?
Before building a line, increasing capacity or reorganising a site, can you clearly compare the scenarios, their risks and their ROI?
Performance, made tangible
Gains you can measure.
Progress that lasts.
ROI, productivity, quality, lead times: results matter. So does ownership by the teams.
PerformanceMeasure the value created.
EngagementBuild with the teams.
DurabilityMake progress last.
