About Pierre

An engineer by training, I have been supporting industrial SMEs for over 10 years in optimizing their processes, theirdata**, and their tools. After several years in Methods / Industrialization & MES at Kohler France, I founded **AIIDO**, a consulting firm specializing in **industrial performance, automation, and applied AI.

My added value:connecting the shop floor, data, and AIto create simple, quick-to-deploy solutions adapted to the resources of an SME.

What I do for my clients:
• Automate your Excel / PowerQuery tools (reporting, prioritization, planning).
• Analyze and structure industrial data (ERP / MES / production / inventory).
• Design industrial dashboards: OEE, load/capacity, delays, quality.
• Deploy internal AI assistants (ChatGPT / GPT) to standardize and accelerate tasks.
• Diagnose processes and data, with pragmatic recommendations (Lean, VSM).
• Support methods / production teams in skill development.

Approach: **frugal, operational, data-driven, and 100% shop floor oriented**. Objective: deliver concrete gains in days or weeks, without a “big IT project”.

Examples of recent projects:
• Excel/PowerQuery automation to consolidate work orders, inventory, and delays → new management method and recovery of workshop delays.
• Construction of a KPI cockpit (ERP + MES + Excel): OEE, load/capacity, delays, scrap.
• Implementation of an internal AI assistant to produce summaries, reports, and standardized answers.
• Structuring industrial data for a future AI project or an Industry 4.0 deployment.

Looking to **save time**, make your data reliable, or test AI in your workshop? I always offer an initial diagnostic discussion to validate your needs and define an appropriate intervention format.
