Write a short summary of the pilot actions. What are the learnings?

The workshop allowed to explain what does IoT means, what the technologies, concepts, challenges gathered in this expression and how these technologies can improve the manufacturing monitoring, processes and organisation. The case studies gave a practical illustration of implementation of Iot solution in industrial applications. They provided clear feedbacks on benefits and on the return of investments link to the implementation of these technologies.The presentation of SMART-SPACE et Iot4Industry projects showed to the participants that tools and funding are existing to support their future project including IoT and industry 4.0 technologies.

For information:

Montblanc industry is an industrial cluster dedicated


to mechanic sector. The cluster is involved in an INNOSUP project named IoT4Industry so very close to SMART-SPACE project thematic. That’s why we decided to collaborate to organise this thematic workshop and create synergies between the 2 projects.

2.2 Pitching Event: Identify offers and skills for Industry of the future

What action was organized by the PP? What was the content of the pilot action?


This action was composed of two phases.

One phase consisting in identification and individual SME supports to preparing pitch, and another phase consisting in collective event.

The aim of this pilot action was to allow to regional SME, laboratories and other actors to present their competences and skills in Industry 4.0 scope. And in the other side, the pilot action allow to identify offers and skills available at the regional level (and also at European level) to help them to conduct their Industry 4.0 project.

Improve links between companies and academics were also a goal of this action.



The collective event took place the 23 October 2018 in Lyon during the regional day on the European funding named “Ambition Europe 2”.

The participants were very satisfied to have the opportunity to present their competences/products or services link to Industry 4.0 subject. And the other participants were very interested by identify the regional companies or laboratories which could be provide technologies or services useful for their industry 4.0 projects. The networking is a really added value of this kind of event.


The pilot action were divided in two parts.The first part, corresponding to individual supports, allowed to propose to 14 regional structures including 7 SMEs to present their competences/products/services link to Industry 4.0 subjects. To prepare the pitches we provided individual support for each of them by providing a pitch deck (with the main information expected) and the possibility to exchange (especially for the SMEs) on their draft presentation. Indeed we provided advices to improve the impact of their pitch. The pitches were 5 minutes limited each. The pitch were a good and useful exercise to be able to present their company and their offer in few minutes but with the main messages to convince potential partner.We tried to introduce transnational aspect by inviting 1 swiss SME and a Belgian SME to participate. We integrated also presentations in link with European projects and opportunities to European partnerships.The second part was the collective part: the event during pitches were delivered. The participants were very interested by identify the regional companies and laboratories able to provide us services and competences in the scope of industry 4.0. The networking aspect of this kind of event is difficult to assess but very appreciated by all the participants.

A feedback questionnaire were filled by participants. They were very satisfied by the workshop and showed real interest by SMART-SPACE project and actions.


The workshop allowed to address the Human resource problematic link to the Millenials generation and Industry 4.0 evolution. The sharing between generations would be a key to answer to industry 4.0 challenges.The presentation provided during this event gave some way

of action to change management or to better understand

this problematic and anticipate changes.

2.6Eval’Industrie 4.0: Individual Supports (1:1)



Workshop, matching event,

A high added value Individual support were developed for regional traditional SMEs named Eval’Industrie 4.0. This individual support were built in close collaboration with Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes Region (economic development department) and digital regional agency.The purpose was to propose an individual support which


pitching event, individual support, collective actions, talks, keynotes,…

was complementary to the existing regional supports on Industry 4.0.The missing step at regional level was a digital maturity assessment of the company and the associated action plan. Eval’Industrie 4.0 was developed to provide 2,5 days of support by specialised consultants in Industry 4.0 transition. The consultants were chosen after a call of tender. 4 consultants were selected.The goal of Eval ‘industrie 4.0 was to allow the SMEs to assess their maturity concerning digitisation and Industry 4.0 and to identify the main actions to implement to initiate or reinforce their evolution toward the Industry 4.0.

Eval’Industie 4.0 was composed of:- Digital maturity assessment including technical

aspects organisation aspects, human resources

aspects.

- Identification of actions to launch or to reinforce

Industry 4.0 transition

- Propositions of tools or existing supports to use to

implement these actions.

After the 2,5 days of support, a matching committee, composed of Auvergne Rhone-Alpes Entreprises, Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Region (economic development department), digital regional agency, were organised. During this committee, consultant provided feedback on the individual supports and on the propositions provided. The goal of the committee was to enrich the propositions done if necessary.



Eval’Indusrtie 4.0 individual supports were provided from January to October 2019.


Number of regional/national/transnatio

Several communication actions were performed. Regional SMEs

were target by dedicated e-mailing. The information was available

on our website and in our newsletter.

This individual support was also proposed by all the project

managers of Auvergne Rhône-Alpes Entreprises to the SMEs


nal digital SMEs, traditional SMEs, experts, other participants…

they followed.

This individual support was also presented during trainings

organized in the frame of intermediaries pilot action.

13 traditional SMEs were supported by Eval’industrie 4.0:

- Think AX (42)

- Eyguebelles (26)

- B-Pharma (73)

- JET Metal (69)

- Sairem (01)

- EBS Services (69)

- Alpes TLC (73)

- PIC BOIS (01)

- STPI EPOXY (01)

- MAC3 (42)

- TECHNAX (69)

- Partenaire industrie (38)

- SOFTICA (73)



Number of traditional SMEs supported: 13

The most of companies were very satisfied by the support provided, especially by the action plans proposed.


The individual support was very appreciate and was a missing step at regional level.The goal of this pilot action were to test a kind of support which didn’t exist at our regional level and to evaluate if it was relevant.The results obtained showed a high degree of satisfaction of SMEs and a relevant connections with regional existing supports on Industry 4.0.Indeed a large part of supported SMEs (by Eval’Industry 4.0) were orientated towards regional tools to implement the proposed action plan.After all Eval’industry.4.0 support, we have organised committee with representative of regional council to have a


detailed feedback from the provided supports from consultants. It appears that kind of support were very interesting as a first step toward industry 4.0 actions. After these committee, regional council decided to integrate this kind of support in their industry of the future plan for the 2 next years.

3. Conclusion

In the frame of this pilot action we proposed different kind of support to allow SMEs to improve their digitization.

Collective events or workshops, focus on technologies or on management of human resources, allowed to raise awareness of SMEs on this subject and to provide examples on how to implement digital technologies in their industrial processes or products.

Pitching event and brokerage event were organized to improve the connexion and the links between solution providers and industrial SMEs. This kind of networking event were very appreciate to identify potential future partner or supplier. This kind of event were composed of individual supports to prepare the participation to the event and collective parts.

The Individual supports “Eval’industrie 4.0” were the more added value support proposed in the frame of this pilot action. The 2,5 days of support by experts were very relevant and fruitful for the industrial SMEs. The Regional Council, at the end of these actions, decided to finance this individual support for the 2 next years, in the frame of the regional plan of the industry of the future.

As presented in the introduction, activities proposed in the frame of pilot action allowed to reach 78 regional SMEs including 25 individual supports.
