Whitepaper: Innovation at Alstom – Smart manufacturing
In today’s world, innovation is happening at an unprecedented pace in various fields, including material, technology, renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and processes. It is important to not only follow a long-term vision but also to make innovations quickly available. At Alstom, we therefore differentiate between “Innovation in the now” and “Innovation for the future”.
Smart manufacturing is a comprehensive approach that involves the integration of advanced technologies, sensors, and data analytics to optimise the manufacturing process, increase productivity, and reduce costs. Some key products and systems that belong to smart manufacturing include industrial internet of things (IIoT), machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), digital twins, automation and robotics, and data analytics software.
This paper is part of a series of documents that explain our approach to a specific topic with the hope to deliver innovation in the now and to prepare innovation for the future.
