LISI GROUP - Integrated report 2020

Innovation, thedriver of growth _ Levers for action LISI — 2020 INTEGRATED REPORT 33 Industry 4.0 GROUP / PROCESS / DIGITAL CHANGING OUR TEAMS’ DAILY LIFE WITH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES The smart factory harnesses technology to lighten the workload by freeing operators from certain tasks. The use of cobotics (human-machine cooperation), connected objects (IoT), augmented vision systems, and artificial intelligence allows them to focus on operations with higher added value. The machine- produced information, accessible to the moving operator, no longer requires work assigned to a fixed position. There is a lot to be gained: more interest in the work, enhanced effectiveness, prevention of occupational risks such as MSDs, improvement of working conditions and mitigated impact on the environment. In 2020, the Group continued to develop innovative collaborative solutions in partnership with start-ups. These solutions concern in particular the management of accreditations and skills, the valuation of industrial data and production planning. GROUP / MANAGEMENT / DIGITAL ALUSTA, THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS A SHARED ACCOUNTING CENTER LISI stepped up in 2020 its approach to administrative management 4.0. The ALUSTA solution, designed to ensure the automated processing of supplier invoices and the electronic collection of documents (purchase orders, delivery notes, payment advices), has been deployed across 16 additional sites. In a few months, the volume of invoices thus covered rose from 32% to 62%. For the Group, this is a first step towards the creation of a shared services accounting center for all the divisions. GROUP / PROCESS / DIGITAL INDUSTRY 4.0: LISI REWARDED LISI was rewarded three times in 2020 for the deployment of digital solutions in its factories, thus reinforcing the Group’s strategic vision and its roadmap towards the plant 4.0.
