Christmas time is here again, always a busy period for our business with the final deals of the year, but also a season of celebration… Our company has grown up and became a teenager: last month we celebrated our 15th year anniversary with old clients.

On November 21, Siveco hosted VIP clients at the prestigious Hellas House in Shanghai to celebrate the firm’s 15-year anniversary. Our key clients and selected partners were invited to attend this seminar featuring presentations by various customers, followed by a friendly dinner party by the pool.

Ahead of the Future Energy &Tech Investment Forum at Spaces Sun House in Hong Kong, Siveco China COO Guillaume Gimonet was invited to interview with EventLinker, a professional tech and innovation event organizer, and shared his point of views on the importance of Smart O&M technologies in optimizing the management of modern high-tech utilities.

From October 3 to October 9, Siveco China team embarked on the plane to Lanzhou for a 7-day outing during the National holiday and revisited the Silk Road, the famed ancient trade road connecting China and Eurasia. We are all particularly proud at Siveco China to be playing a role, alongside many Chinese companies, on the Belt & Road, the modern continuation of the old Silk Road. History is still ongoing and this long outing made it more visible to us.

The seeds that we planted years ago in the water, waste and energy fields have grown into larger fruit trees! As you will see in this month’s newsletter, many clients went live with our Smart O&M solutions in recent months!

There has been a tremendous fuss about Predictive maintenance this summer. Consulting firms and sensors suppliers seem to rediscover maintenance after so many years of staying carefully away from this complex – and often non-bankable – topic. Time has changed now, and thanks to the limitless power of AI and IoT ubiquity, the maintenance nut will soon be cracked (possibly by a cobot nutcracker).
