Our activities

Transform, optimise, strengthen

Building on our know-how of complex high-tech products, our purpose is to provide our customers with a competitive advantage by improving operational efficiency throughout the product lifecycle. Technological complexity, long lifecycle, stringent safety and security requirements, multi-dimensional supply chain...: whatever the situation, we are committed to transforming, optimising and strengthening the industrial design and production approach and the associated information systems!

Our comprehensive and modular Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) services cover every stage of the product lifecycle: product design, manufacturing, entry in service, operation, maintenance and support. Our strength lies in our knowledge of our clients' industrial activities combined with our know-how in information technology. We work with the various departments and functions that focus on the products.
Our services are intended for the manufacturing industry, as well as their suppliers, operators, partners and customers in the aeronautics, defense, energy and transport sectors.
Because PLM is part of the interconnected set of information systems, we also call on the complementary services of our Group and Aeroline, the organisation dedicated to the aerospace industry.


Innovation, one of CIMPA's core strengths

So as to bring the very best to our clients, we constantly strive to remain at the forefront of innovation, business transformation and technologies, thanks to our close relationship with our customers, our wide network of partners, our various labs and demonstrators, as well as our seasoned experts and thought-leaders.
We can help you through all phases of the innovation journey, from building a vision to concrete use cases, from inspiration and idea development, through to prototyping and roll-out.

Our Labs, co-innovation platforms

Identifying and developing innovative uses of the most relevant technologies is the raison d'être of the CIMPA Labs. Organised as a collaborative, dynamic and multidisciplinary platform, their objectives are multiple:

  • Create your own innovation cell. 
  • Test and experiment with new technologies.
  • Boost and accelerate your innovation projects or carry out rapid prototyping.

 

Our demonstrators, packed with cutting-edge know-how

Our product concepts allow us to showcase and apply our many areas of expertise in engineering, manufacturing and operations. Our teams strongly engage in these projects and acquire new skills that we can then put at your service.

Cross-fertilisation

We work in various industrial sectors, such as aviation, energy, transport, defence and space. We bring our knowledge and good practices from one sector to another and also promote exchanges between our clients to contribute to their vision and challenges.

What does PLM really mean? 

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a strategic approach to manage product information that brings together all related data and processes. It improves communication and collaboration between the various teams involved in the product: R&D, Design Office, Quality, Methods, Production, IT, Operations, Maintenance, etc. 
To centralise, share and harmonise data, PLM relies on collaborative software solutions. It has many advantages:

  • Accelerating product development cycles
  • Breaking down barriers between the various business lines for better collaboration and efficiency
  • Improving the reliability, quality and cost of a product
  • Optimising the design, manufacturing, use and maintenance processes
