LISI GROUP - Integrated report 2020

3 _ STRATEGIC VISION _ Levers for action / Innovation GROUP / INDUSTRY 4.0 / AUTOMATION AUTONOMOUS PRODUCTION LINES The deployment of autonomous production lines continued in 2020. Closed Door Machining technology, which enables equipment to run production programs on its own and to self-adjust in order to improve the quality of parts in real time, is operational at four of the Group’s sites. 8H24M – 8 hours of human presence during the day for 24 hours of autonomous machine operation – makes it possible to stabilize a complete production process, so that human intervention is no longer necessary for an extended period of time. The machines become fully autonomous, from the feeding to the removal of the finished parts. Several LISI sites around the world now have these technologies. GROUP / INDUSTRY 4.0 / PERFORMANCE FABRIQ, A COLLABORATIVE PLATFORM TO MANAGE WORKSHOPS LISI has co-developed with a start-up a workshop management solution for Industry 4.0. The collaborative platform, Fabriq, improves the industrial performance of the sites where it is established. The number of problems solved is three times higher and the time saved on routines and dynamic audits reaches 50%. Fabriq is intuitive and therefore quickly picked up by operators, who become proactive and provide solutions. Its digital format appeals to the youngest and served as a web communication platform during the confinement period. In one year, this solution has been deployed in 22 factories and 5 countries. Industry 4.0 In 2020, 44 new robots were commissioned in the Group’s various plants, bringing the total number of polyarticulated robots to 335. LISI currently has a ratio of 375 robots per 10,000 employees, compared to 177 on average in the French industry (2019 statistics).  Evolution of the number of robots  Ratio per 10,000 employees 201 249 291 335 560 161 190 234 375 537 2024 forecast 2020 2019 2018 2017
