”Together, let's build the industry of the future” event
On November 26, the Bourges campus hosted the “Together, let's build the industry of the future” initiative proposed by the Club Industrie du Futur, an association founded by the professional branches of the Centre-Val de Loire region.
Some fifteen companies presented their technological innovations to students from INSA CVL, IUT and Polytech d'Orléans, as well as to apprentices from the UIMM Centre Val de Loire training center.
Among the innovations presented on stands or by videoconference: ergosquellettes to limit work fatigue and RSI, cobots and autonomous robots, training tools using mixed reality (virtual and augmented) to support companies in better integrating/upgrading employees' skills, sensors and automation using AI, cybersecurity consulting and various software packages.
This experience proved to be very useful and formative for the apprentices and students present, as it prepared them for a better grasp of technologies that some of them are already experimenting with, but also for them to be prescribers of these new solutions within the companies in which they will evolve.
