Meet the Team
Hello, and welcome to WE NETWORK.
I’m Laurent AGUENIER, electronics advisor and programme manager for collaborative projects.
I’m Jean-François Gouineau, expert in Industry 4.0.
I support companies in the digital transformation of their workshops and also facilitate collaborative workshops, especially around data.
What is WE NETWORK?
We Network is both:
- A cluster bringing together players in the electronics industry
- A technical and resource centre providing a wide range of support tools for electronics-related projects
One of our key values is to act as a trusted third party, offering complete neutrality regarding available technologies.
This ensures objective and conflict-free support for our clients.
Our Expertise and Services
We operate based on four strategic pillars:
1. Industrial optimisation and digitalisation
We support clients by:
- Developing digital transformation roadmaps
- Drafting specifications
- Conducting audits
- Identifying the best tools for their needs
2. Collaborative programmes
We bring companies – including competitors – together to address shared challenges.
Most of our members are EMS providers (Electronic Manufacturing Services), working collectively to pool resources and capabilities.
3. Training centre
We offer training programmes delivered either:
- In-house at We Network
- On-site at the client’s location
Training is focused on electronic products and their industrial context.
4. Industrial platform
We operate:
- An SMT line for assembling small batches of electronic boards
- A manual soldering line
- Various inspection and test resources, which are shared and accessible to the industry
This platform is also a real-life testbed where companies can trial new production methods and digital solutions.
What Makes WE NETWORK Different?
We support manufacturers in two main areas:
- Their digital transformation – especially on the shop floor
- Eco-design and the acceleration of assembly processes
Our goal is to help the electronics industry evolve toward the industry of the future.
