How can production teams’ knowledge be translated into software that faithfully reflects their operational realities? Pierre Trouiller, Product Manager at EPIQ Digital, will address this question at ICSOBA 2026, taking place from November 15 to 20 in Bengaluru, India.

The InNexus™ approach starts with the processes and constraints described by domain experts. Their knowledge is formalized through structured text and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) diagrams. These models provide the basis for software generation.

The approach follows two complementary validation steps. Domain experts first validate the intended functionality. Developers then conduct the technical review, addressing robustness, cybersecurity and integration requirements.

The presentation will focus on an aluminium recycling casthouse prototype. This example illustrates how formalizing domain knowledge can bring operational requirements and software implementation closer together.

His presentation, InNexus™, a New Approach That Puts Domain Experts Back at the Heart of Industrial Software Development, will be part of session CH-1, Casthouse Operations 1, in room Bipar&Hampi.
