The Inno.Bus goes for industrial innovation at Total

The Inno.Bus, which was inaugurated by Bernard Pinatel, the Director of the Refining-Chemicals branch of Total on October 9th, is in the process of going over the next 3,000 kilometers linking 11 French and Belgian sites. Each stage is an opportunity to share with the employees of refineries and petrochemical sites the Group’s business innovations.

For the Innovation Mission of Total’s Refining and Chemicals division, which is carrying this project during the innovation celebration of the Innodays group, the objective is to reinforce its dynamics of industrial innovation even if it already counts more 17 innovation challenges in one year, and 30,000 connections to the participative platform dedicated to employees’ ideas. The Innovation Awards, which are awarded each year for projects to improve the performance of the facilities on the basis of proposals from employees of the Branch, will be presented on the Bus.

Innovations for the Factory 4.0 to be discovered in Inno.bus:

The prospective vision of the industrial professions of tomorrow, scripted in the film “L’Usine 4.0” is concretized by demos of concrete innovations such as:

• Increased operator apps that improve the working conditions and performance of operators such as the assistant inspection tours or the monitoring of valves

• The “trouble shooting room”: a real-time remote assistance room to resolve incidents, instead of waiting for an expert to come and the result of his analysis of the data a posteriori if incident on a machine.

• The vision in images of the Factory 4.0 or Future factory, imagined by Total’s businesses

• Visiting the Antwerp refinery in virtual reality with 3D glasses, to participate in games on the culture of innovation and developing creativity

A creative and friendly spirit : Innovation Mantras and a Foodtruck

The bus is completely covered with silhouettes in the habit of operators to remind the craft and innovation mantras that play the paradoxes of any industrial innovation at the initials of the Refining Chimie (R & C): Reinvent & Build, Watch & Create, Redefine & To conquer.
