Technological Watch - Documentary services

  • What technology is emerging in our sector?
  • What more appropriate technology could replace our existing technology?
  • What technology could provide the basis for new manufacturing processes?
  • etc.

These are all questions that a competitive business in search of innovation may ask to develop its strategy. The purpose of PEP's monitoring centre is to collect, validate and disseminate technological information, the fundamental building block for strategic decision making.   

PEP responds to information requirements from businesses or a group of businesses by providing its technology facilities, and the expertise of two plastics-engineering information and technology monitoring specialists.
PEP's technological watch therefore enables businesses to be aware of developments and innovations in their markets (technical, industrial or commercial environment).

 The work of PEP's technological watch service:

  • Identifying areas to monitor, according to the goal;
  • Identifying sources of information;
  • Monitoring and collecting data;
  • Analysing data;
  • Disseminating the deliverable monitoring data (output, summary notes, etc.) of observed trends in technology.

The Plasturgienet.com technological watch portal, developed by PEP, provides direct access to technological information via an internet platform available 24 hours a day, and offers selective personalized dissemination of information.
The portal is updated daily, enabling you to keep up-to-date in real time as well as have a collection of specialist documents on your desktop.
Sources of information cover the monitoring centre's paper subscriptions, and also specialist internet resources for plastics engineering and plastics processing. 

PEP's technological watch centre is centred on information and draws on many technological watch tools and an extended network. This also enables the centre to carry out all types of personalized documentary services: surveys of the state of plastics engineering, monitoring, publishing newsletters, etc.
