Industrial robotics

We worked for a leader in the aeronautics industry who wanted to assess possible business models and to develop a business case for the deployment of CoBOTs (Collaborative Robots) in its manufacturing sites.

To achieve this, our team carried out a benchmark of other manufacturers using such robots in their activities, followed by discussions with experts in the field. The aim was to enable our client to understand all the possible uses of these robots, to assess the savings induced by their implementation and to develop a roadmap for the deployment of these machines within its sites.

Our team then co-built with our client a complete business case enabling them to support the project with their management committee.

Our team supported a leader in medical devices to prepare the European launch of its innovative platform in digital surgery.

Our client wanted to understand how to launch its platform in each of the countries concerned by the launch (players to target, launch sequence, terms of purchase and integration, etc.).

By mapping the key players involved in the purchase and integration of such robotic solutions (within and around the hospital), and by analyzing their levels of influence, Alcimed enabled its client to develop its go-to-market strategy and to train the sales and marketing teams of each European country.

We supported a leading healthcare player on a robotics and automation project with the aim of answering a key question: how to achieve an automated end-to-end analytics workflow in all their laboratories? To do this, we organized a learning expedition to explore how the laboratories and production facilities of other manufacturers were organized in terms of robotics and automation in this field, and to draw inspiration from their practices.

In collaboration with our client, we therefore visited and interacted with its counterparts in several other industries including aeronautics, agribusiness and automotive.

This exercise helped generate inspiring ideas which were then transposed into our client’s environment to transform their own workflow at an analytical level.

We created and launched an external open innovation challenge for an energy player wishing to boost a new innovation model in the field of robotics.

Our teams supported our client on the definition of the synopsis, the writing of the rules and the technical specifications, as well as the identification of funding methods, right up to the launch of the challenge.

Around thirty teams across the world responded to the challenge, but only one won it!

Our client, a player in the chemical industry, wanted to gain a better understanding of the opportunities offered by robotics for formulation and evaluation operations.

To help them, we began by segmenting the key unit operations in a laboratory to identify the offerings on the market capable of carrying them out. We also defined specific case studies to be tested with solution providers and analysed the relevant case studies to get an initial idea of the potential benefits for our client’s activities. We then interviewed robot manufacturers and robotics solution integrators to assess with them the technical feasibility and timings associated with the specific case studies defined with our customer.

In the end, we drew up a roadmap to identify the solutions and players to be mobilised. This roadmap fed into the action plan defined by our customer.
