Industry 4.0 & digital transformation
Assess where you stand, identify the use cases with real return, and build a realistic roadmap your team can follow.
Industry 4.0 · Industrial digitalisation
Turn your factory data into better decisions.
I help manufacturing companies connect their machines, see what is really happening on the shop floor, and build practical digital tools that reduce downtime and wasted effort.
Practical digitalisation, built by an engineer who understands the shop floor.
Many industrial companies already have the data they need — inside PLCs, machines, spreadsheets and people's heads. The challenge is turning it into something useful without a huge, risky IT project.
I work on focused, well-scoped solutions: connecting equipment, making performance visible, anticipating failures and automating repetitive tasks. Small steps, measurable value, then scale what works.
Services
How I can help
Five areas where engineering knowledge and digital tools work together.
Industrial data monitoring & visualisation
Collect data from machines and sensors and turn it into clear dashboards for operators, maintenance and management.
Predictive maintenance & equipment health
Track condition indicators such as temperature, vibration and cycle counts to spot problems before they stop production.
Workflow automation & practical AI
Remove repetitive manual work — reports, data entry, alerts — and apply AI only where it genuinely saves time.
Engineering & process optimisation
Apply mechanical engineering and Lean thinking to reduce waste, improve flow and make processes more reliable.

Start a conversationApproach
From problem to proven result
A simple four-step method that keeps risk and cost under control.
-
01
Understand
Visit the site, talk to the people involved, and define the real problem and how success will be measured.
-
02
Build
Develop a focused, practical solution using the equipment and systems you already have wherever possible.
-
03
Validate
Test it in real production conditions and check the results against the goals agreed at the start.
-
04
Scale
Roll out what works to more machines, lines or sites — with documentation your team can maintain.
Technology
Tools chosen for the job, not for the hype
I use proven, maintainable technologies and keep solutions as simple as the problem allows. Where possible, I build on open standards so you are not locked in.

Background
Engineering foundations, digital focus
I am Om Badagi, a mechanical engineer specialised in Industry 4.0. My work sits at the meeting point of mechanical engineering, industrial operations and digital technology.
I work in English, French and Spanish, with a professional base in France and strong ties to India — which lets me support manufacturers in both markets.
