Starting from traditional professions and making them intelligent and communicative

Since 1993, Px Cie has covered all low current professions. It is electricity seen from the angle of information and which allows buildings to be fully communicative. Weak current has become very technological. Communicating networks are now as important as water networks. The challenges are: energy savings, instantaneous distribution of information, security, intelligent lighting, etc.

These challenges contribute to the convergence of networks and, in fact, to the development of our activity. The know-how of Px Cie is linked to the acquisition of expert companies recognized in their field of activity. Today, the group’s 65 employees are organized into 3 agencies (Paris, Agen and Mandelieu).

Low voltage professions are professions of the future and for a long time to come.

Over the past 15 years, we have observed a change in the network environment, generated by digital transformation and the energy transition. Today, the activity around networks is defined by their ability to communicate, this is called low voltage.

Low voltage is booming, it is electricity seen from the angle of information that makes it possible to organise, automate and control the uses of a building or installation. This is the field of home automation-building automation, Centralized Technical Management, detection, programming, consumption control, Voice-Data-Image networks, computer sites, etc.

Low voltage has become very technological. Communicating networks are now as important as water networks. Tomorrow’s challenges are: energy savings, demographic change, adaptation of cities, roads and housing for better electric mobility. These challenges contribute to the convergence of networks and, in fact, to the development of our activity. Low current professions are professions of the future and for a long time.

For 25 years in France, the market has been made up of hundreds of small players. The weak current was a trade of labour, cable pulling, patch bay and telephony.

Communication and data have become entirely digital, the end of the RTC (switched telephone network) and the digitization of companies have accelerated these changes. From now on, the convergence of networks has involved a market oriented towards added value, communicating heterogeneous systems.

The best example of this need for buildings to communicate in a context of convergence of information is healthcare establishments. They have, in fact, different levels of communication: hospital communication, management of the care plan, detection cameras (falls, temperatures, masks, general surveillance of the building), anti-fugue systems, fire safety and wi-fi coverage.

This observation and market studies have proven that there are not enough players of significant size able to meet the needs of national multi-site customers. The small players mentioned above do not have the capacity to grow enough to meet customer needs.

We saw a real opportunity to bring out a major player of significant size, established in the regions with advanced multidisciplinary skills, specializing mainly in communicating buildings and in the health sector.
