Regulatory News:
The PSA Group (Paris:UG) organised a Plant of the Future Day on
12 July at its Vélizy technical center outside Paris. This "booster
day" brought together 70 partners and key players in technological
innovation, from suppliers, integrators, start-ups and laboratories
to schools, research institutes and public organisations.
The consortium partners rose to 20 technological challenges
posed by the Group to produce some 30 demonstrators based on the
following themes: human-robot interaction, bionic exoskeletons and
augmented reality for kitting.
As part of its Excellent Plant program, the PSA Group has
initiated several transformation projects aimed at boosting its
competitiveness and adaptability.
To help it tackle these challenges more effectively, the Group
is designing, testing and integrating new technologies. As part of
the Plant of the Future program launched in 2015, it is
carrying out studies with a large number of partners to explore
profitable and flexible automation solutions that will bring down
vehicle production costs and eliminate workstations that present
problems in terms of ergonomics, safety and quality.
Commenting on the day, Yann Vincent, the PSA Group's Executive
Vice-President, Director Supply Chain & Manufacturing, said
"The world is changing dramatically, and we must embrace that
change without fear. We will face this necessary challenge head on
thanks to our leadership capabilities and intellectual agility. Our
task is to transform these capabilities into growth drivers.
Numerous initiatives developed by new companies in attendance here
today are transforming business models and paving the way for
paradigm shifts. Every advantage must be harnessed to strengthen
our performance."
