CGI (NYSE: GIB) (TSX: GIB.A) has opened a new global innovation center dedicated to Industry 4.0 in the heart of the Occitanie region in Toulouse, France. This latest center completes a network of global innovation centers established by CGI in France, including centers dedicated to digital transformation (Montpellier), commerce and consumer services (Lille) and supply chain digitization (Lyon).
In the 2021 CGI Voice of Our Clients, which provides insights and recommendations based on interviews with nearly 1,700 business and technology executives, manufacturers cite modernizing and rationalizing their systems as a top priority. They also seek to digitize the value chain through technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT), augmented reality and digital twins. In addition, developing innovative products and services through automation, including autonomous decision-making, within collaborative ecosystems is a key priority.
CGI's new global innovation center is designed to help manufacturers achieve these goals and more. It gives them the opportunity to experiment with innovative and practical solutions that are quickly executable. Further, because the center is interconnected with CGI's other innovation centers, visitors can explore all of CGI's offerings through a cross-center, immersive and personalized journey.
Overall, CGI is pursuing three major objectives with its new center in Toulouse:
Another unique aspect of the center is an immersive game designed to interactively teach a course structured around seven key Industry 4.0 issues, including: real-time monitoring, data continuity, digital twins, process automation, manufacturing execution systems, process mining, and cybersecurity.
