Michelin IT & Digital

Flashback on the Manufacturing Hackathon “WE’NNOV”! 🏭 A few weeks ago, our Ladoux site hosted 2 days dedicated to IT/OT innovation within Manufacturing! 7 committed teams made up of company employees and partners worked on the theme “Design and operational support”. Through this challenge, participants expanded their innovation skills, experimented with new technologies outside their daily routines, and multiplied their creativity. 💡All teams built solutions around a control-machine model simulating a production machine, providing hands-on exposure to the OT environment. The demos showcased the outcomes of their work and explored a range of concepts that could deliver real added value in our plants. 🙏Many thanks to our Experts who supported the teams, and special thanks to the organizing team, jury, participants and everyone who contributed to the event. And thank you to the audience for the energy and encouragement during the demos! #Industry4_0 #DigitalManufacturing #SoftwareDriven #MichelinTechnology #ManufacturingInnovation

Ambica Rajagopal, PHD, Chief Data & AI Officer at Michelin, took part in “AI Agents: How Do We Take Back Control?”, a documentary commissioned by Gravitee, alongside researchers, policymakers, and business leaders. This provided an opportunity to address the key challenges related to AI agent security and accountability from multiple perspectives, in a context where these topics are still rapidly evolving.

AI for Business Day 2026 brought together diverse teams and experts for a full day dedicated to Artificial Intelligence, with one objective: share concrete experiences and explore how AI is already transforming our activities. 🔎 Throughout the day, participants discovered: -Inspiring keynotes from internal leaders and external experts -Real-life AI use cases across Manufacturing, Supply Chain and Customer Experience -Workshops and interactive sessions to better understand how AI can be applied in day-to-day business From strategic vision to operational use cases, the event highlighted how AI is progressively becoming part of our reality, across functions, métiers and regions. 🎬 Discover below a 1-minute video retracing the key moments of the day! #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #DataDriven

📍 Confluent Current London 2026   Last week, our teams had the opportunity to take part in Confluent Current London, a key event for the data streaming community. Sébastien Viale, accompanied by Christophe EMOTTE and Fabien Alberi, represented Michelin and shared insights on a recent open source contribution to Kafka Streams.   During his session, Sébastien presented KIP-1111 (Kafka Improvement Proposal), a contribution designed to make the naming of internally generated resources in Kafka Streams explicit and more robust.   Through live demonstrations, he illustrated how seemingly simple changes in a Kafka Streams topology can have unexpected impacts on stateful applications, and how this proposal helps anticipate these situations and secure application evolution in production environments.   This contribution reflects Michelin’s ongoing commitment to open source, actively contributing to the evolution of technologies that are widely used by the community.   👏 A great example of how our teams combine technical expertise, collaboration and impact to address real-world challenges in data streaming.   To explore the demonstration and better understand the approach, check out GitHub: https://lnkd.in/epCuggwR    #MichelinTechnology #SoftwareDriven #OpenSource #Kafka #DataStreaming #KafkaStreams

[The Flywheel: Be where the customer is] The Michelin Flywheel: turning data into a sustainable competitive advantage At Michelin, we see data, software, and AI as key levers for differentiation, enabling us to innovate faster, improve efficiency, and create more value for our customers. This is the very purpose of our Flywheel: a continuous activation model, a virtuous cycle that places data at the heart of decision-making and concrete use cases: -Accelerating decision-making through data and cross-functional expertise. -Building a robust data asset capable of aggregating and activating data to generate value and anticipate future generative AI models. -Rapidly developing new business models and enhancing operational performance. The success of our Flywheel relies on collaboration between IS & Digital experts and Lifestyle teams, bringing together diverse profiles aligned around the same concept. This has enabled Michelin, for the first time, to deliver a complete journey: from awareness to activation, conversion, and engagement, while creating value throughout. Stay tuned to discover how our teams implemented this Flywheel! #Flywheel #SoftwareDriven #MichelinTechnology

Michelin à Devoxx France 2026 Trois jours riches en échanges, inspiration et fierté pour les équipes Michelin, venues affirmer leur leadership technologique et partager notre vision d’une ingénierie IS & digitale ouverte, durable, inclusive et innovante. Sur le stand, nos équipes ont échangé autour de nos projets, de nos pratiques et de nos métiers, illustrant concrètement notre trajectoire vers une Entreprise toujours plus Data Driven. Deux conférences ont également incarné cette dynamique : • “7 ans au pays de Kafka” : retour d’expérience sur l’architecture événementielle et la migration cloud. • “De 1 000 à 5 000 utilisateurs : scaler GitLab sans (trop) souffrir”, un partage terrain sur le passage à l’échelle d’une plateforme critique. 💬 Yves Caseau "Je suis très heureux d'avoir pu participer avec l'équipe Michelin à l'édition 2026 de Devoxx. Dans cette époque de brouillard cognitif où l'on entend tout (l'IA aura fait ... d'ici fin 2026) et son contraire, Devoxx est une opportunité unique d'accélérer son apprentissage en retrouvant la cohérence entre l'état de l'art des technologies et pratiques, des témoignages pragmatiques et factuels de ceux qui mettent en production, et une bonne dose de debunking, avec l'humour propre à Devoxx, qui permet d'éliminer une partie du FOMO qui nous accable de temps à autre." Au delà des talks, Devoxx a en effet été un lieu de rencontres, de partage et de transmission, essentiel pour faire vivre notre stratégie dans la durée. Un immense merci à l’équipe #Devoxx et à tous les visiteurs passés sur notre stand ! 📸 Retour en images sur ces trois jours 👇 #Michelin #Devoxx2026 #Softwaredriven #Technology

As artificial intelligence becomes more present in business and society, the question is no longer if AI will be used, but how it is designed, governed, and applied. At Michelin, our approach to AI is clear: it must help people deal with data complexity, support better decisions, and be deployed responsibly in real‑world environments. This is why we see AI not as an autonomous decision‑maker, but as a capability that strengthens human judgment, with transparency, robustness and clear accountability at its core. The general availability of the MICHELIN Connected Fleet AI Assistant is one example of how this strategy comes to life: AI applied where decisions actually happen, embedded in operations, and developed in line with our ethical principles and long‑standing engineering culture. This is how we intend to continue innovating with AI: with purpose, with responsibility, and with trust. Michelin MICHELIN Connected Fleet
