Even though CSR came into existence as far back as 1953 when Howard Bowen, an American economist published a book called "Social Responsibilities of a Businessman", it has only been gaining ground in the recent years. Meanwhile, the term “Industry 4.0” was coined more than a decade ago by the German government and popularized during the World Economic Forum.

In ����AV’s perspective, we strongly believe that these two worlds are fundamentally intertwined. According to the German government, Industry 4.0 actually brings the consumer closer to the factory, connecting all process stakeholders from design to storefront through automation with the cloud, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things.

We are convinced that, with the right application, Industry 4.0 technology enables companies to produce better and faster, by delivering what consumers want, at the right time. By having enough data clarity to meet consumer demand and expectations with accuracy and precision, they reduce energy consumption and inventory waste.

To bridge these two worlds, we are developing Industry 4.0 solutions that support companies in meeting their CSR objectives with our R&D team and expertise. Not only do we aim to help them embrace CSR, but also foster a CSR-driven culture within their companies.

Environmental sustainability

Transitioning from a ‘push’ to ‘pull’ production model
Thanks to our Industry 4.0 software that helps our customers gather and analyze competitive, consumer, supply chain and sourcing data, they can now have a better understanding of what and how much to produce.

Social responsibility

Cultivating a positive work environment by reinventing the way people work
Our cutting room 4.0 technology enables our customers to connect and optimize their manufacturing process to produce better, more and faster and at a lower cost, while respecting the environment.

Financial responsibility

Going beyond profit maximization by redefining the business model
Our solutions equip companies with the capabilities to not only improve profit margins, but also spend and invest with more intention and purpose.

We are strong believers in the convergence of these two concepts, so much so that we have made CSR an integral part and central pillar of our Industry 4.0 corporate strategy through which we aim to become a key player on our strategic markets by 2030.

With the objective of empowering our customers to embrace CSR and make progress in meeting their goals with our Industry 4.0 software and equipment, we hope to contribute to shaping a better, greener and brighter future for the industries that we serve.
