PSA OpenLabs bring together research teams from the PSA Group and partner institutions. They pool scientific expertise and technological platforms to work on major industry challenges: modes of transport, vehicles, and the factory of the future.
Created in 2012, OpenLab Materials and Processes brings together cutting-edge expertise in the field of innovative materials and efficient processes: Arts et Métiers, CNRS, Georgia Tech, and LIST (Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology). These partners are developing joint ten-year forward-looking research projects with a view to offering disruptive technologies and contributing to the development of the vehicles of the future.
Research activities cover four areas: metallic materials and alloys, polymers and composites, semiconductors, and robotics and vision. In 2016, the partnership was renewed, incorporating an additional theme, industry and the factory of the future, and the establishment of the FFLOR (Future Factory@Lorraine) platform at the PSA factory in Tremery in Moselle, in collaboration with CEA Tech.
