You know the values of the Lynkoa community, which lead us to think that together we go further! You demonstrate this every day through the exchanges on this forum. Today, many questions are being asked about the state of health of the industry... After several weeks of confinement, how are you living this period in your industrial company?
Thank you in advance if you have a few minutes to answer this questionnaire which will allow us to quickly establish trends on the industry during the lockdown, to share the results with you and to draw best practices for all those in the industrial community! Every voice is important.
Of course, this is not a technical question! But I'm sure that the members of this forum (which I've known for a long time now for the most part :) ) will understand that this is such an important issue at the moment that it has its place here. The industrial community remains united!
Working from home watching the good weather from my window. Since the drop in pollution I no longer have the impression of being in the depths of Brittany ...
I have been on partial unemployment for 1 month because I am a subcontractor of companies that have closed their structures. And how does it work in your country?
For us, it's teleworking for all people working in offices, barrier gestures and other precautions for people who have to work on site (machining, assembly, etc.).
I also filled out the form. I have been working from home for more than a year now. It wasn't easy to set up. But it works well now. So my daily life hasn't changed much at the professional level. I'm delighted that many people are starting to work from home today. It changed my life.
Form completed. Otherwise, out of the 20 people in the BE, 18 are teleworking, and 2 of whom I am part of normal work at the company (with containment measures). And those who work from home come back from time to time for a day to exchange live (with a schedule for those who come back so that they are not all at the same time)
For telecommuting, he renames their 2nd internal hard drive to make it look like it's the server disk (X:\)
@fab camp: incredible this beautiful weather... The weather has never been so beautiful for so long, right? The planet takes revenge :'( (I love Brittany!)
@ac cobra 427: damn... Do you cook and do DIY? At home, the activity is calmer for some, more intense for others. We remain in agile mode to provide the best solutions to our customers.
@d.Roger: At the top, it's an industry that is running! Good luck
@remrem: you are a pioneer! But are you teleworking every day? A great proof of modernity and the company of the future, bravo. You're one step ahead, have you been able to test the 3DEXPERIENCE? I'm writing a lot of articles at the moment on the subject. I wonder if SW users are tempted by SW in the Cloud. Some modules of the 3DEXPERIENCE are available for free.
@sbadenis: Printing as a !! Oh yes it's Guelt, great team in the agro :) well done for the trick, it's nice to share that!
For the moment we are managing to finish the sites ordered before the confinement but impossible for some brands to be installed on site, at the supplier level the deadlines are extended by one to two days, on the other hand from next week a large part of the production will be at technical stubble...
@stephane_5: complicated for the world of retailers... I have a friend who makes neon signs, he had to put part of the team out of work as well. Courage to you!
@Clémentine: I saw your posts on the 3DExperience. My curiosity pushed me to read them. But I admit that I don't see many advantages for SW users. I work at a rate of about 15 days and one day in a company. A hell of a gamble at the beginning.
A few facts: I use HP Remote Graphics software to work on my workstation that has remained at the company. This is much more efficient than remote desktop. Then, a place dedicated to work, defined schedules and communication tools to stay in touch.
For us, it's teleworking for all people working in offices (via VPN), barrier gestures and other precautions for people who have to work on site (machining, assembly, etc.).
@remrem: Oh yes? It's interesting to have your views. Knowing that today I use all my software in the Cloud (Adobe, CRM,...) I can't imagine going back to a thick client. But I think the SW world will come to it quickly.
Thank you for the info on your remote working methods it's very interesting, I'm going to share this with our team who have set up remotely equipped machines for our customers in online training at the moment.
I think I could do an article on these new remote work paragidms of the company! It just goes to show that this has existed for a while among some manufacturers and works very well;)
questionnaire also completed. We are faced with the same problems (transport/suppliers among others), especially since we mainly work in export. the design office works 90% remotely. Connection to company servers via DirectAccess. Hassle-free connection to Autodesk VAULT.
For a little more than 2 years now, I've been telecommuting 2 days a week, it's true that it changes your life and what about the extra efficiency when you need calm and concentration during certain stages of the design ...
For me the choice is made on the use of a laptop with license borrowing, all my SW settings files are on my local hard drive so that I can be completely autonomous if needed. I have access to Epdm via the VPN and I only feel a slight slowdown during loading, extraction, backup and archiving operations but it is true that my internet connection is really good ... I have tested the remote control of my workstation which is on site but I find that the slowdowns when displaying are more restrictive and tiring than this slight slowdown when accessing the files present in Epdm.
And as remrem says, a place dedicated to work, defined schedules and communication tools to stay in touch and it's rolling...
@clémentine and yes never seen good weather for so long... It just goes to show that the Breton climate is only a consequence.... I would like nature to take back its rights as well , it will unfortunately only be short-lived... And if you love Brittany so much, don't hesitate to drop by, we'll go and drink a binouse;p
I have been working from home for 10 years apart from the time it takes to set up at the customer's site. On the other hand, for customers, they have a hard time with videoconferencing, but with mobile phones, which are in fact waterproof compared to their IS, it is starting to improve.
As for the Cloud, it's NO, NO and NO, it's a vast scam, certainly nice on the surface.
Otherwise, you might as well host all your business directly to the NSA or send all your trade secrets to American companies, to name but a few. We must not lose sight of all the losses or theft of information even in companies normally protected Sony, goat's buttock, etc...). Not to mention for the past three years the ransomware or spyware that has led many companies to bankruptcy directly or indirectly and to permanently block institutions or production. (See information from cybersecurity companies and the hiring boom in this sector.)
Another scam disguised as "we do you a favor" is what is also called the syndrome of added value and recurring turnover. You go to the cloud to supposedly save money, but this mostly makes you captive and dependent on cloud software and files hosted in the cloud. Turning back the clock is painful and dangerous. For what gain? none! but with hidden additional costs. Look at how few mid-caps, VSEs, and SMEs are on the cloud and it's not a lack of dynamism or archaism but simply by the real lack of service (no significant VA) and by mistrust of the competition.
Obviously, in large companies, this means outsourcing part of the IS (especially for very, very large data consumers), which is supposed to reduce costs by refocusing on their core business. Anything that is not related to what we produce or sell is not essential, so we reduce peripheral functions and support functions.
So to conclude, really look at how many companies are on the cloud compared to the number of companies in Europe and you will see that it is very few despite the hype that is made around it.
I filled out your form but I found it a little light in terms of the answers on the impact of covid19.
I think that instead of putting a binary answer (impacted/not impacted), putting an answer on a scale from 1 to 10 would be more interesting.
I take the example of our case in the company:
Covid 19 has had an impact on our suppliers and therefore on our parts supply. (So because of that I'm forced to answer "yes" to the question), but in reality that's the only impact we've had.
We are a manufacturer of forestry equipment, which means that we equip trucks and manufacture trailers that are intended to transport logs on the road. As we do almost everything in-house, we are not really dependent on others. Since the supply of raw materials (sheets, tubes, etc.) is maintained, then we can continue to build our equipment.
Of the 35 employees that we are, only 3 are absent.
As far as the design office is concerned, there are two of us, and we are physically present in the company. In the SME that we are, the design office also has to go into the workshop to take measurements, test prototypes or monitor the progress of the work, so it's complicated to set up teleworking for us.
TL; DR: We are very little impacted by the COVID19 thanks to the fact that we manufacture a lot in-house and that we have a fairly large stock of parts to deal with this crisis.
Hello
Completed questionnaire ...
For us, it's teleworking for all people working in offices (via VPN), barrier gestures and other precautions for people who have to work on site (machining, assembly, etc.).
Kind regards
(Nb: thank you for the text D. Roger :-) )
