Manufacturing is at the heart of your transformation strategy, enabling you to ensure high-quality production in increasingly demanding environments. The design of reliable, efficient, flexible and sustainable manufacturing processes is central to ALTEN China’s Manufacturing approach.

After the production automation and robotization period, the use of new technologies such as IoT, 5G, cloud computing and data for predictive maintenance form the mainstays of Factory 4.0. Through its support and expertise, ALTEN China enables you to adapt and respond quickly to market developments.

Towards Factory 4.0 to Achieve Operational Excellence in the Industrial System

The transformation of industry towards Factory 4.0 aims to establish a new collaboration between humans and machines, through the implementation of interconnections between systems internally but also towards partners and customers. The aim of this transformation is to enable companies to optimize and rationalize their value chain, from design to production. This transformation must naturally take account of the environmental impact, since the industrial sector generates more than 20% of greenhouse global gas emissions.

To address these challenges, ALTEN China places people at the center of the industrial system to ensure a complete end-to-end transformation. The Manufacturing Process package bridges the gap between design and manufacturing to accelerate time to market while guaranteeing the integrity of goods and people and limiting environmental impact.

Our long-standing expertise in all industrial sectors and businesses means that we can offer a real value proposition alongside major industrial players. We respond to our customers’ needs through a range of services built around four pillars: Co-Design & Industrial Architecture, Industrialization, Improvement of Industrial Performance, and Digital Transformation for Factory 4.0.

Our Expertise

Co-Design & Industrial Architecture
To devise the best product/process fit by developing and integrating new methods and tools 

We support our customers right from the research and development phase, bringing our multi-sector expertise and innovation capabilities to bear on the latest technological and robotic advances. Our engineers and designers work together to invent and design products that meet your needs:

Research and validation of new materials and/or new assembly processes
Industrial system modelling (e.g. MBSE) and digital simulation (Plant Simulation, AnyLogic, 3DEXPERIENCE)
Virtual Run@Rate or Virtual Commissioning
Integration of Manufacturing requirements as early as possible in the design process
Industrial Architecture
Robotization or automation strategy for assembly lines
Testing and validation strategy for industrial resources

Industrialization
To accelerate time to market 

Our Industrialization package enables you to improve the flexibility of your industrial facilities, a key priority if you want to be more competitive and adapt more quickly to changes in the market.
