Our demos: solutions tailored to your specific needs
In partnership with Vitesse Automation


AI empowers operators to program and orchestrate robots and automated systems using natural language. Intentions expressed verbally or in writing are automatically translated into automation programs and then orchestrated within industrial systems. This no-code approach makes programming more accessible, shortens time to deployment, and reduces reliance on expert skills.
In partnership with 3dverse et Nvidia



The digital twin enables remote monitoring of a factory through an interactive 3D environment accessible via a smartphone, tablet, or PC. Connected to field data, this cloud-native digital twin provides a real-time view of industrial facilities and integrates seamlessly with existing IT and OT systems for unified operational management.
In partnership with Siemens


The digital twin is a key tool for planning and optimizing a production line even before it is built. By leveraging Siemens technologies, it is possible to simulate, test, and validate the behavior of equipment and automation systems in advance, thereby ensuring sound industrial decisions, reducing risks, and accelerating commissioning.

Existing machinery, some of which is outdated, can be digitized to usher in a new industrial era. Digital twins make it possible to model this equipment, connect it, and facilitate its retrofitting, paving the way for modern monitoring and new applications without disrupting existing operations.
In partnership with STMicroelectronics


Embedded AI enables the anticipation of failures and the optimization of industrial maintenance. By leveraging operational data, the models learn the normal behavior of equipment with minimal data and evolve over time to better detect anomalies and deviations. The platform facilitates the deployment, monitoring, and continuous improvement of AI models.
Preventing musculoskeletal disorders is a major issue for both health and industrial performance. This solution monitors work postures in real time, detects risky situations, and alerts the operators or teams involved. Non-invasive, it integrates seamlessly into the work environment to help reduce musculoskeletal disorders.

IT/OT convergence is a driver of performance, provided it is secure. The VITESSE digitalization platform introduces a protocol break that enables the creation of a local DMZ and secures data exchanges between IT and industrial systems. Siemens technologies complement this approach by embedding cybersecurity into the design of automation architectures from the outset, ensuring robust and resilient industrial environments.
This demonstration illustrates a robot’s ability to automatically determine the most suitable path and gripping tool for a handling task, without prior knowledge of the part. This approach significantly reduces the time and cost of robot integration, while improving flexibility during product line or operation changes.
In partnership with Picomto


Digitizing standard operating procedures helps capture on-the-job expertise and improve operational reliability. Using a simple video, the solution analyzes the actions performed and converts the content into a structured, step-by-step procedure. This allows skills to be captured, shared, and tracked in a simple and efficient manner.

Using field data, it becomes possible to quickly perform an industrial diagnostic assessment and resolve any uncertainties regarding a machine’s operation, whether it is new or old. The VITESSE digitalization platform allows users to query systems using natural language and provides relevant analyses, regardless of the hardware used.
