Global Industry 2026: Inetum Committed to Supporting European Industry

Inetum will be participating in the Global Industrie trade show from March 30th to April 2nd, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions in Villepinte, in the Smart zone, booth 5U153.

Release date : 27/03/2026 

 

This expansion marks a significant milestone for Inetum, a European digital services company strongly committed to supporting the French industrial sector. Against a backdrop of economic, geopolitical, and technological challenges, the digital transformation of industry has emerged as a key driver of competitiveness, sovereignty, and resilience.

As a local partner with a strong presence across Europe, Inetum supports manufacturers in modernizing their systems, securing their data, and optimizing their value chains.

Cedric FERNANDEZ, Solutions Business Representative at Inetum France, explains:"The industry operates in environments where legacy technologies coexist with new digital architectures. Our mission is to bridge these worlds by modernizing industrial systems without interrupting production. By bringing IT and OT closer together, we enable factories to adopt new practices, gain agility, and accelerate their transition toward a more connected, secure, and resilient industry.”

Leveraging Industrial Data to Drive Performance

In industrial environments, data is strategic, but it is also difficult to leverage. Generated on the front lines within highly operational departments, it is often fragmented, heterogeneous, and unstructured. Yet this data is essential for managing workflows, improving operational performance, and enhancing organizations’ ability to anticipate future trends.

With its Industry 4.0 expertise, Inetum supports manufacturers in collecting, ensuring the reliability of, and leveraging industrial data to transform it into an asset that drives decision-making, operational efficiency, and business continuity.

Case Study: EV Cell Gigafactory: Collection and consolidation of production data (product/process traceability and control plans) prior to actual startup (scrap analysis).

Marie-Ange GIUSEPPIN, head of the Consulting division at Inetum France, says:“Our role at Consulting is to help the industry make concrete changes to its operating methods: evolving practices, structuring processes, supporting teams, and establishing new ways of working that are here to stay. Value is created when technology becomes integrated into the daily lives of operational staff, and that is precisely where we come in, enabling manufacturers to move from digital aspirations to tangible, measurable, and sustainable results.”

Supply Chain and Critical Workflows: A Distinctive Expertise 

Through its Inetum Consulting division, the Group possesses recognized expertise in supply chain management, particularly in complex and critical environments. Inetum specializes in optimizing industrial workflows, traceability, planning, and securing supply chains—areas central to performance and sovereignty.

This expertise is particularly relevant to strategic sectors such as aerospace and defense, as well as transportation and logistics, where effective flow management directly impacts competitiveness and industrial resilience.

Case Study: Tier 1 A&D suppliers: Post-COVID recovery efforts regarding parts flow (impact on aircraft manufacturers’ final assembly) and support for the factory’s logistics transition (impact on production rates).

Digital Twin: Managing Industrial Complexity

Inetum also supports its clients with Digital Twin technologies, which enable the modeling of complex industrial systems by integrating data from multiple sources.

These approaches provide greater visibility into operations, facilitate scenario simulation, and enhance real-time management capabilities, contributing to a more agile and efficient industry.

Case Study: EV Motor Gigafactory:  Modeling and instrumentation of the production flow (control and execution monitoring) to optimize ramp-up (deployment of parallel production lines).

Sharing Expertise: Webinars and Feedback 

Continuing its presence at Global Industrie, Inetum also organized two webinars in partnership with NUMEUM, directly addressing the themes of the event:

  • Mobile data collection in the field for Thales employees, demonstrating how mobile solutions help ensure the reliability of field data, improve operational responsiveness, and enhance the efficiency of industrial teams.
  •  Tracking parts throughout the supply chain to support factory procurement, using Mobile IT, demonstrating how digital tools help secure workflows, optimize traceability, and improve logistics performance in complex industrial environments.
