Innovation strategy

Our strategy : innovate a true driver of growth

Supratec is part of the industrial landscape for designing new products, developing unprecedented solutions and integrating innovative processes.

As part of our strategy and the ground-breaking innovations we create, we seek to surpass the need expressed by the client by understanding their implicit needs.

Our teams collaborate closely, thereby cross-pollinating our expertise and know-how.

By refusing all technological compromises, we innovate differently and successfully integrate our solutions in factories and workshops all over the world.

State-of-the-art technology platforms

Using the Fab Lab model, we created our own App’Lab. Application laboratories can test ideas quickly and bring out a team’s creativity.

By acting as a catalyst for the design process iterations, we reduce the “time to market” of products.

By creating these state-of-the-art technology platforms, Supratec strengthens its position as a Number 1 actor:

by offering manufacturers innovation
by being at the heart of factories and listening to business owners

Lormac

The Supratec Lormac App’Lab breaks new ground on the market with special machines.

Syneo

Syneo is entirely dedicated to bonding and dosing application tests.

our assembly and industrialisation workshop

On the back of our experience of over 50 years and relying on the synergy of our internal activities, we now have an unlimited capacity for creation. This manifests in the complete engineering solutions that improve our industrial clients’ productivity while optimising their value chains. Our approach to innovation, based on a “lean” approach, relies on rolling out an industrial model around our workshop:

Skyline, our assembly and industrialisation workshop

Turning our innovations into robust solutions and mastering production of our products in our over 2000m² workshop.

Our new design and assembly workshop was opened at SUPRATEC Lormac in Spring 2017. Industrialising the front-runners of Supratec is, for all internal actors and the accompanying ecosystem, an opportunity to optimise their productivity and business and be part of revitalising the Lorraine territory. Supratec’s Factory of the Future 4.0 will be a place of reference, a showcase, and a test space in an application environment.

The results of our innovation strategy : our front-runners

Supratec innovation is embodied in our “front-runner” creations. They improve manufacturers’ production performance and position the Individual at the heart of future industry challenges according to three approaches.

Our
front-runners

For SML, when aeronautical outfitter Safran wanted to half their LEAP engine assembly cycle (5 days instead of the then 10), they counted on the SML ergonomic manipulator. The self-guided SML robot autonomously transports aircraft engines weighing nearly 2 tonnes for a faster and more fluid production.
