These machines have a huge impact. Better control of their production would reduce costs, carbon footprint and reduce the hardship caused by work. We are only at the beginning of industrial optimization. The boom in these technologies combined with new working methods suggests that a revolution is underway.
According to Gartner's study unveiled at its IT/Xpo 2022 symposium, innovation, scaling, optimization and sustainability are the main themes on which companies are focusing in 2023.
What is behind these themes:
- Scaling
These technological trends increase the pace of distribution of services/products and this in an ultra-connected way. The cloud is at the center of this theme with its services: SaaS, PaaS and IaaS with the search for a more sovereign world.
- Innovation
It is at the heart of strategic and relational commercial evolution aimed at exploiting new virtual markets: adaptive AI, the metaverse, super-applications.

- Optimization
It allows to ensure greater reliability for decision-making thanks to an observation capacity.
- Sustainable technologies
- It is a set of tools enabling traceability, analytics, emissions management software and AI to create greater operational resilience.
On paper, everything seems rosy, however, it is crucial not to neglect the risks associated with the use of concepts that are still poorly mastered and increasingly connected. This considerably increases the attack surface. Therefore, it is essential to take into account the impact of this type of attack, as demonstrated by the following examples. Also, we must not be blinded by excessive optimism.

According to the annual report on cyber threats from the National Agency for the Security of Information Systems (ANSSI), the figures speak for themselves: local authorities account for 23% of ransomware processed or reported to ANSSI in 2022, placing them in second place behind VSEs, SMEs and ETIs (40%) but ahead of public health establishments (10%).
Emmanuel Vivé, president of Déclic, warns that to avoid becoming a target, communities must at least guarantee the updating of workstations, the use of antivirus software and external backup.
