Industrial Equipment

Rethinking your business to meet the needs of every player in the value chain

 

The industrial equipment industry comprises all manufacturers of machines and tools required by a company’s production processes: special machines, machine tools, heavy mobile plant and equipment, metal and plastic manufactured products, and tyre manufacturers.

 

A company’s main challenge is to operate in an increasingly complex and stringent industrial environment under constant pressure from customers, competitors and regulators.

Identify your new growth levers

 

Industrial equipment manufacturers are relying on the trends emerging from the 4th industrial revolution (automation, IoT, 5G, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, networked communications, etc.) to change the way they work and interact with their customers.

 

IThey need to constantly step up their digital transformation to fully meet the new expectations of their distributor networks and/or their end customers.Because they do not have the same investment capacity as their larger competitors, SMEs in this industry are often more vulnerable.

 

No matter how big or small they are, Visiativ supports industrial equipment manufacturers in all stages of their digital transformation.
