2017-03-24
Siveco's General Manager Bruno Lhopiteau was interviewed by CONNEXIONS, the French-language magazine of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in China (CCIFC), for its special Industry 4.0 edition on China's industrial transformation "Towards the Industry of the Future".
Many Siveco clients were also featured including Arkema, Baosteel Group Co. (via clean energy specialist Enertime), Carrefour, Engie, Mane, Suez, Valeo, as well as our long-time SCADA partner PcVue Solutions.
The interview is very wide-ranging, touching on many aspects of the topic: Made in China 2025, the key role played by Man in the automated plant, the growing importance of maintenance, the China Dream and finally sharing some experience with Chinese utilities and Chinese-built infrastructures along the One Belt One Road. Bruno Lhopiteau is known for his intimate knowledge of the Chinese market and for his contrarian style, both very obvious in this interview.
