The Real ROI of 4.0: Time Freed Up in the Service of Collective Intelligence
Industry 4.0: when technology disappears, collective capability appears — Panel discussion at Tech For Industry Show 2026 (Paris Expo Porte de Versailles), featuring Forvia, OPEO and Optimistik.
Data and AI are everywhere in industry — but their real value is human and collective. This panel explores how Industry 4.0 concretely changes the way companies decide, act and learn, beyond productivity gains alone.
Key topics: the four success levers of Forvia's quality transformation (240 factories, burning platform, hackathon, data standardization, tens of millions of euros in annual gains); OPEO's conviction — drive transformation through the business, not the technology, and quickly scale local successes; and Optimistik's approach — making real-time data a common language that breaks down silos between production, maintenance and quality.
The guiding thread: the real ROI of Industry 4.0 isn't just productivity, it's adoption by all teams and the collective intelligence that results.
