Case Study: Socomec achieves rapid IoT deployment and reduced project costs with Altair SmartWorks

Socomec - Customer Case Study

Socomec, a 100‑year‑old, family‑owned French power solutions company with over 3,600 employees, faced the challenge of creating added value for customers by implementing increasingly sophisticated, secure IoT‑enabled power setups. To accelerate its digital transformation without diverting core resources, Socomec selected Altair and its SmartWorks platform for IoT expertise, an open API‑driven architecture, and private‑cloud deployment capability.

Altair implemented the SmartWorks platform hosted in Socomec’s private cloud, enabling rapid development of connected services—including cloud‑connected UPS monitoring accessible via a mobile app—and giving Socomec a scalable, easy‑to‑implement foundation. The Altair solution has reduced project costs (proofs of concept can be realized in just a few days), transformed Socomec toward a service‑oriented business model, and set the company up to adopt future capabilities like AI/ML and predictive maintenance.
