Industrie 4.0: gain productivity and flexibility at the heart of your industrial processes
A Swiss software engineering company, Digiinov offers a range of innovative, tailor-made services and tools to enable manufacturers to digitize their activities and thus boost their efficiency and competitiveness.
From automation to empowerment, from software and digital solutions such as no code or SCADA to the very latest technological innovations in deep learning and AI, Digiinov has all the keys to enable SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland to enter the Industry 4.0 era.
HMI: connected software interfaces to control & automate industrial production
Digiinov has developed a modular software solution designed to push back the limits of automation and thus digitalize more sophisticated industrial processes. Compatible with technologies such as Beckhoff, Fanuc and Siemens, the Digiinov Hmi solution enables the creation of customized Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) without the need for programming skills, facilitating the integration of modern vision technologies and test automation via a No-Code interface.
Thanks to the marriage of operational technologies (OT) and information technologies (IT) at the heart of machines, Digiinov is accelerating the democratization of advanced functionalities, both from a business and software point of view. Predictive maintenance, energy management and, soon, intelligent assistants are just a few examples of the doors being opened to enable SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland to enter the Industry 4.0 era.
Pioneers can expect to see their cumulative cash flow increase by 122%...
compared with just 10% for followers. What's more, companies that don't adopt AI within five to seven years will see their cash flow fall by 23%. It's a reality both full of promise and of potential danger for manufacturers who don't turn the corner on digital transformation fast enough; a reality that can no longer be put off in time or neglected, as Xavier Comtesse, Founder of the Think Tank Manufacture Thinking, was able to evoke:
"We're in an even more important phase. I think the tsunami of the fourth revolution is no longer virtual, it's real, it's shaking things up, it's changing habits, and we're living through this fourth revolution."
Digital transformation, based among other things on the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and the latest digital technologies such as AI, machine learning or cloud IT, offers a unique opportunity for the manufacturing industry to boost its competitiveness.
Among the challenges and opportunities, we could mention the democratization of leaner production methods, thanks to greater agility in logistics management in particular, or better anticipation and adaptability to market movements. Innovation cycles could also be further shortened by greater accessibility to technologies and interoperability of tools. Finally, when it comes to major challenges such as cybersecurity, harmonizing solutions and continuously improving them seems to be one of the best ways of protecting ourselves.
However, all these promises require a clear vision - " the more powerful the tool, the more the people in the company need to have a digital vision of the problem "says Laurent Chatelanat, CEO of Olympe.io, and goes on to say that " there really needs to be a visionary, someone who takes on this mission and really has the ambition to do the job. The tool isn't everything, it's the people, that's really important ", a point of view also shared and completed by Yvan Jacquat, founder & CEO of GradeSens, " this transition has to be made with the people on the ground ". A vision, committed leadership and close collaboration between operations, organization and technology.
So if you've ever asked yourself∙e of these questions, among others:
- Where to start?
- How can we support machine operators in the digital transformation of their jobs?
- How can I prepare my SME for the industrial automation revolution driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning?
- What resources do we need to mobilize and what are the implementation constraints?
Or if you'd simply like to learn more about the ecosystem and digital solutions in French-speaking Switzerland, meet Christopher Bouzas & Franck Barré, CEO and Technical Product Manager at Digiinov, on January 28, 2025, at 11:30 am, in live streaming, on the Alp ICT Youtube channel or on our LinkedIn account.
The monthly meeting place for SMEs to identify digital solutions
#TechDemo is the place to be for SMEs looking for digital solutions. Each month, we present a practical, innovative application to help you open up new opportunities, or simply make your day-to-day business easier. These events are free and require registration. They feature a 30-minute practical demonstration of the tool, followed by a 30-minute Q&A session.
