The Digigram Group has announced the acquisition of Wavely as part of a ‘build-up strategy focused on critical audio’ – applications where sound, noise and vibration carry high operational stakes.
Founded in 2017 by Nicolas Côté (PhD), Alexis Vlandas (PhD) and Marion Gautier as a spin-off of French CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique), Lille-based Wavely specialises in AI-enhanced acoustic surveillance systems. The company employs its acoustic surveillance expertise to develop solutions that combine audio signal processing and artificial intelligence to detect and localise anomalies, events or faults in complex industrial environments. Wavely solutions support industrial maintenance and safety applications as well as acoustic surveillance operations for household names in France and abroad. This expands the Digigram Group’s headcount to nearly 80 employees worldwide, with offices in France, US, Singapore and Hong-Kong. Wavely teams, brands, trademarks and premises remain unchanged.
This joining of forces enables the Digigram Group to accelerate its development and provide additional innovative solutions to reinforce its critical audio strategy. Wavely teams will lean on a powerful platform for their logistics, manufacturing, marketing and commercial operations in order to accelerate their development and market reach.
‘Integrating the Digigram Group is a thrilling opportunity for Wavely, that not only confirms the relevance of our innovative AI-enhanced solutions, but also boosts our market presence,’ says ’Wavely’s co-founder, Nicolas Côté. ‘Digigram’s contribution is a valuable leverage to support both our technical and commercial developments. This operation also reflects a shared culture of engineering excellence and offers new growth opportunities for both teams.’
‘Joining the Digigram Group is a logical move that acknowledges several years of hard work to develop robust and innovative technologies. Becoming part of a renowned French industrial group is a collective reward for us all,’ adds Wavely co-founder Alexis Vlandas.
Pursuing its strategy of growth, and further to the acquisitions of AuviTran (2023) and OROS (2024), the Digigram Group consistently strengthens its position as a key player in every application where audio, acoustics and vibration analysis are mission critical.
‘This acquisition marks a significant milestone in our strategic growth, strengthening our capabilities and expanding our reach with solutions that address the smart analysis of critical signals,’ says Digigram Group President, Jérémie Weber. ‘Together, we will deliver even greater value to our customers, partners, and stakeholders.’
