This commitment to innovation has made us a key player in the Factory of the Future movement, the current challenge to create Smart Factories where computerized systems can be used to design, simulate, monitor and safeguard physical processes, creating a virtual map of the physical world and optimizing decision-making.
We remain at the forefront of this new industrial revolution, and in 2016 we are launching a palette of new 4.0 Simulation tools which are innovative and fully integrated with our existing industrial and design processes: 3D Scan, the most accurate field survey of an existing environment to perfectly secure supply fits; Energy Simulation to assess or forecast consumption and emissions; and Virtual Reality Simulation to visualise new installations with immersive 360° models. These three “virtual” tools are ideal for upstream decision-making.
