One of the biggest challenges for businesses that utilise physical manufacturing is unexpected breakdowns and failures. The failure of one small bearing could take an entire production offline and stop a business dead in its tracks. This has led to many businesses to pivot away from one-point sales and towards the use of intelligent products and services which not only provide monitoring and maintenance, but also can help your business become more efficient. So how has the field of Intelligent Products and Services been developing over the past few years, and how can it help predict the unexpected for your business? On this episode of Future Sight, host Liz Lugnier speaks to- Nicolas Rousseau – Executive Vice-President, Capgemini Engineering Managing Director, Digital Engineering and Manufacturing Group Offer Leader, Intelligent Products & Services Rousseau’s role with Capgemini focuses on intelligent industry, working with companies to develop a holistic view of products, software, data, and services to improve customer interaction, business operations, R&D, engineering, manufacturing, and supply chains.
