Components of our modern life,
Communication and artificial Intelligence are
gently swarming most of our objects, still
offering more control and friendliness.
ALCYM has an active participation in
this evolution closely linked to the
progress of Electronics and IT Computing,
and also to the democratization of networks
such as Internet.

Thanks to our accreditation you can recover benefits on all our R&D Services.
Communications and artificial Intelligence have become key components of our modernity.
At the beginning, radio and television were content to just broadcast information.
The revolution has come from the computer equipped with new electronic resources and thus offering a real interaction.
Nowadays, almost all our everyday objects are being enhanced with sensors, functionalities and further intelligence for a better control and friendliness.
This new perspective and fascinating means definitively boost all communications : human communications via machines, communications with machines and communications between machines or things (machine slowly taking place of an interlocutor in his own right).
The breakthrough of Communications and Intelligence is based on irrefutable arguments, starting with Friendliness, Interaction and continuing with Dynamism and Security :
+ Friendliness, Interaction : information sharing, tracking, exchange, performances optimization, personal configuration.
+ Dynamism : drive control, fast response (accelerated flows, Live), setting, tuning, programming, upgrading.
+ Security : measurement, monitoring, supervision, protection, warning, efficiency, reliability.
In front of this willpower, making machines more and more programmable and things more and more communicative, the range of applications is wide open, including for instance :
> Mobility, together with Transport and connected Infrastructures,
> Telecommunications and Multimedia, carried forward by Telephony and Internet.
> Supervision, focused on Control and Security.
> Internet of things or M2M.
The source of this evolution is obviously linked to the development of Electronics and IT Computing.
Here skilled and clever, ALCYM appears as a valuable partner to handle your future Developments, willing to make your objects more innovative with communication and intelligence.
