On July 3 and 4, the Carnot ARTS Institute held its annual seminar on the Arts et Métiers campuses Arts et Métiers Bordeaux-Talence and at the University of Bordeaux. This event is an important one in the life of the institute, as it brings together key players from across the region and provides an opportunity for discussion and feedback on technological innovations at the heart of industry.
This seminar provided an opportunity to review the projects and strategic directions of the Carnot ARTS institute. As a long-standing R&D partner of industry and a key partner for the industry of the future, manufacturers and institutions were invited to strengthen synergies between the socio-economic world and its teams, and to discuss the technological challenges they face. Companies from the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and institutional partners from the Greater Southwest (regional councils, competitiveness clusters, business clusters, SMEs, etc.) were able to (re)discover the institute's laboratories attached to the school and their specific areas of expertise.
A plenary meeting provided an opportunity to review the industrial projects that have been carried out, with a focus on the Chair between the Processes and Engineering in Mechanics and Materials (PIMM) laboratory and Arkema, as well as on the robot/cobot/agile factory project between the Physical and Digital Systems Engineering (LISPEN) laboratory and Kuka. A session of private meetings with the institute's stakeholders, organized in the form of a mini-trade show, also provided an opportunity for fruitful discussions in a more informal setting.
