Industrial Automation: Equans Digital at the Center of Strategic Discussions at the Micronora 2026 Trade Show
The Challenges of Industrial Automation in France
On the occasion of the Micronora 2026 trade show, a must-attend event for production technologies and industrial precision, the Director of Equans Digital Robotics & Automation France spoke at a roundtable discussion focused on the challenges of industrial automation in France and Europe.
Invited by Dominique Mockly, alongside Edouard Coudriller, Director of Strategy and Development at Fives, this discussion provided an opportunity to revisit the major challenges facing manufacturers today: international competitiveness, technological sovereignty, the appeal of industrial careers, the digital transition, and the acceleration of automation.
Robotisation, a strategic driver for French industry
In a context marked by increased global competition and the need to strengthen the resilience of production chains, robotisation is emerging as an essential driver to support industrial transformation.
The discussions highlighted the essential role of automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence technologies in addressing the challenges of productivity, quality, flexibility, and safety faced by manufacturers.
France and Europe have many strengths to build on to strengthen their industrial position, provided they accelerate the adoption of these innovative technologies and continue their efforts in training, investment, and support for businesses.
A Contribution to European Discussions on the Future of Robotics
This roundtable drew in particular on the work of a European think tank that had formulated several recommendations aimed at promoting the development of industrial automation and strengthening the competitiveness of European industry.
As a key player in digital and industrial transformation, Equans Digital actively contributes to these discussions and supports its clients on a daily basis in implementing solutions for robotics, cobotics, automation, and the digitisation of industrial processes.
