Operational excellence through digitalisation, automation and cybersecurity
In industrial environments, everything revolves around continuity, speed and safety. But increasing complexity, stricter regulations and the need for real-time insights are making this increasingly challenging. Equans Digital helps companies future-proof their operational processes. With a unique combination of OT expertise, IT knowledge and sector experience, we optimise production, maintenance and process safety without disruption.
Our strength: we know the floor and the legislation
Whether it's a cleanroom, a reactor hall or a packaging line, we build smart optimisation technologies tailored to the technical, operational and compliance context of your business.
We integrate digitisation, automation and cybersecurity into a single total solution. Because a smart factory without cybersecurity? That's not future-proof.
We combine:
- Process automation (PLC, SCADA, MES)
- Real-time monitoring and anomaly detection
- Digital Twin technology for predictive insights
- OT Cybersecurity according to IEC 62443 and NIS2
Our domain expertise in operations
We work daily for critical sectors:
- Pharmaceutical industry (GMP, validation, traceability)
- (Petro)chemical industry (ATEX, safety, process optimisation)
- Nuclear industry (licensing, redundancy)
- Food, waste, energy and steel industry
Our OT experts speak the language of the operator, while our data architects and security officers ensure integration, performance and compliance.
Who do we work for every day?
From technical management to strategic decision-making: every role has its own needs and goals. Yet they all strive for the same thing: greater insight, better control and more efficient working. Our solutions seamlessly address the challenges of:
Plant Manager
That visibility and control.
Challenge:
"I lack real-time visibility into exactly what is happening in production. Problems often only become apparent once damage has already been done."
How we help:
We bring all OT data together in one clear dashboard – with live monitoring of processes, installations and malfunctions. Anomaly detection and performance alerts give you control over what is going wrong and why. This allows you to make faster and better adjustments.
What you gain:
- Complete visibility of machines and installations
- Faster problem detection and less downtime
- Insights for capacity increase or process adjustment
Operation Director
Who wants to benchmark across sites.
Challenge:
"I want to benchmark multiple sites, but the data is too fragmented. And without uniform insights, strategic choices are difficult."
How we help:
Our solution links multiple sites to a central dashboard, with KPIs tailored to your priorities. This allows you to compare performance, energy consumption, downtime or maintenance costs – and take targeted action where necessary.
What you gain:
- Uniform reporting across sites
- KPI-driven insights for strategy and budget
- Transparency for audits and compliance
- Better prioritisation of investments and resources
CISO en IT-Manager
Who wants to secure OT without disrupting operations.
Challenge:
"OT needs to be more secure, but I don't want to risk production downtime. One wrong move and we're shut down."
How we help:
We implement OT cybersecurity in accordance with IEC 62443 and NIS2 – with minimal impact on production. Through mature risk assessments, segmentation and secure remote access, we provide protection without disruption.
What you gain:
- A practical action plan tailored to your risks
- OT security without operational downtime
- Compliance with NIS2 or sector regulations
- Continuous monitoring with audits, test plans and reporting
Technische Integrator
Looking for reliable automation partners.
Challenge:
"I am looking for an automation partner who is not only technically skilled, but also understands how installations behave in production."
How we help:
With over 30 years of experience in industrial automation, we are the bridge between engineering and operations. We deliver total solutions that accelerate processes, prevent errors and make data available for further use.
What you gain:
- Reliable automation of batch, continuous or hybrid processes.
- Integration with existing PLC/SCADA/MES environment.
- Real-time data available for dashboards or Digital Twin.
- A single point of contact for engineering, integration and service.
