A living platform
to build futur industry

Through the intrapreneurship (Boostart) project, we went in with a sealed technical project and we came out with a corporate strategy for the deployment of Industry 4.0 on our site, thanks to questions from other members’ participants in the marketing and all the services of our site, especially during the marathon.”

The diversity of the themes addressed (industry 4.0, augmented reality, predictive maintenance, blockchain, carbon-free mobility, etc.), places The Hive at the heart of today’s main industrial challenges. The association of large companies, SMEs, public and private institutions, technological partners, constitutes a real wealth in terms of collective intelligence.”

to unite people from different backgrounds and to make their actions more coherent. The Hive brings together differentiation to make it a weapon for development.”

L’iaelyon is happy to have discovered The Hive and its workers, ambassadors of excellence and the influence of our metropolis, during an international training program. This is the first step towards even wider possibilities between our university management school and this unique place of collective intelligence where the world of today and tomorrow can be invented.”

The Hive is also a project accelerator: it provides a project manager, a method and a challenging pace that pushes us to question ourselves and move forward. We challenge ourselves, we reassure ourselves and we are reassured to build our technological strategy and to steer our project roadmap.”

We are now entering the phase of concrete implementation of the solutions in production workshops.

The Vision project is also a breakthrough for our industrial system. It includes all the elements of Logic 4.0: digitalization of information, detection and analysis of defects, prediction and adaptation of the system response. We make our system learning and autonomous, we avoid costly end-of-line tests and quality problems for our customers. For this last subject, we are also invested in the Boostart programme and we are thus combining the 2 major axes of our ambition in The Hive: value creation through projects and the personal development of project leaders.”

We are currently working on a project of documentation and pedagogical support to convince and explain the interest of the Blockchain in the transformation of companies and industrial performance.

Come to The Hive, it is really full of beautiful things. »

It is this ability to mobilize and federate different actors that I found impressive. At the beginning, there were only a few of us and gradually we were able to involve companies of different sizes, from completely different sectors. This mobilization was a great adventure, with the collective satisfaction of having helped the hospital sector to survive during this health crisis. Thank you to all those who contributed!”

The Metropolis of Lyon has supported this system since its inception because it breaks codes and standards to enable all industries in the area to transform. The aim here is not to innovate for the sake of innovation, but rather to strengthen industry’s capacity for transformation in order to meet the new societal and environmental challenges that are even more pressing today.

We are therefore pleased to support it and to see it grow, and we are counting in particular on the dissemination of its best practices beyond the site and its members, in order to multiply its impact throughout the country. “
