Industry 4.0

Thinking up solutions together

Four innovative approaches to harness all the potential of Industry 4.0 :

Advice 4.0 to optimise, modernise or build a facility

• Help to express your functional requirements, financial needs and expected performance targets by bringing the best international standards to bear
• Set up a technical and financial consortium capable of designing, building and operating your facilities
• Provide detailed visibility of the costs of building, maintaining and operating the future facility and identify the best locations for it
• Offer suggestions for improving operational performance and help to manage change

Defining a flexible factory together

Making industrial processes more flexible is a major factor in adapting nimbly to changing demand. Available solutions include modular buildings and reconfigurable production lines in order to adapt the volume and nature of output to orders. Together, we can create the conditions to improve responsiveness. How?

• From the design phase, we can anticipate how the facility might evolve throughout its lifecycle
• We can build a modular, reconfigurable, scalable facility that anticipates changes to the nature of production
• We can support your people in the use of new tools and new forms of organisation
• We can limit the depreciation of your property assets by ensuring the capacity for swift adaptation at the lowest cost and simplifying compliance upgrades

Developing a robotised and automated factory

Central to Industry 4.0 projects, robotics, cobotics (especially in the automobile industry), internal logistics and robotic palletisation (especially in the logistics industry) are synonymous with lower costs and higher productivity. How can we make best use of these opportunities? By:

• Carrying out an audit of the facilities you want to robotise or automate
• Defining functional requirements for the construction of a new facility
• Identifying the best technical solutions according to your functional requirements and performance targets: lower costs, fewer workplace accidents or musculoskeletal disorders, etc.
• Carrying out the design, adaptation and integration phases for solutions involving robotics, cobotics, automation or additive manufacturing
• Helping to manage change

Designing a digitised factory

In order to increase productivity we can harness all the potential of automated production, equipment traceability, mobile data access, big data, 3D printing and M2M technologies. The benefits include fluid, digital reporting, a paperless company, real-time performance management, data security and protection. How can we achieve this? By:

• Using BIM (building information modelling) to create a digital twin of your factory and facilities
• Implementing technical solutions to capture, store and analyse data: IoT, data storage and security, big data and predictive analysis
• Guaranteeing the monitoring of operations and the remote control of facilities by means of predictive maintenance, hypervisors and connected operators
• Using operating data to generate proposals for improvements, such as the centralisation and safeguarding of information, cost reductions, quality optimisation and the limitation of downtime

Targeted support in the field

With the strength and experience of a major group operating in over 30 countries, we can harness all the skills and expertise needed to bring your project to a successful completion:

• the support of the Bouygues group in areas such as property development, engineering and construction
• the financial strength of a global Group
• a global operational and support capability

Dedicated "Industry" business units in France, Great Britain, Ireland and Canada.

One community of 1.500 people dedicated to your every need in design, engineering, execution and industrial maintenance.

An engineering department focuses specifically on industrial maintenance contracts:

• start-up engineering: master plan, quality assurance plan, safeguarding plan, shared management tool, indicators
• computer-assisted maintenance management: installation and parameter setting
• Lean Micro Innovation, FMECA, obsolescence studies, failure analysis, feasibility studies, etc.
• skills management: e-learning, assessment

For your industrial project, we seek out and implement the best available new technologies for even better performance, by:

• using BIM technology to improve productivity,
• studying the impact of IoT to optimise your maintenance,
• using Lux services to reduce your energy consumption
