The Future of Nordic Manufacturing

RobocoastAI will help and support (and in some case even automate) the public business consultant’s work in order to find the right contacts, solutions and information available and serve the customer in the best possible way.

"We are a startup and we develop a system that helps you to interfere in real time to better achieve your production targets in a simply and smart way and provides advanced visual management on the production floor which improves prioritization and issues handling.

"Up until now, business has been all about ""maximizing own profit,"" meaning that companies have looked from a vendor-centric manner when conducting business. In this era of digitalization, for instance, industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things and other technologies it is required to collaborate with other participants in shared value ecosystems to enable services and acquire data. Hardware, connectivity, software and applications are needed for that, and a small company cannot comprehend all that in an efficient manner, creating incentive to start collaborating.

"Visionen med ShareB2B er at skabe en portal, der agerer markedsplads for virksomheder med deleøkonomiske intentioner. Ved en sådan platform der skaber overblik over overskudskapacitet der enten udbydes eller efterspørges, vil virksomheder kunne eliminere store omkostninger forbundet med selv at investere i dyre aktiver, som eventuelt kun skal anvendes for en afgrænset periode. ShareB2B kan ses som en fusion af Den Blå Avis’ design for annoncer og Airbnb’s grundlæggende forretningsmodel.

"– An active learning approach for effectively navigating the challenges and opportunities that Nordic manufacturing companies face in the new digital economy.

"Robocoast is a center of excellence that is jointly managed by the business development company Prizztech Ltd and the Satakunta University of Applied Sciences. Robocoast combines more than a hundred companies in the robotics and automation industry, universities and colleges in the Satakunta region.

"90% of all manufacturing companies in Nordic countries have less than 20 employees and very few have more than 250 [1]. This poses unique problems in how to roll out automation and digitisation solutions in nordic countries. These companies do not have in-house ITC specialists and they have difficulties financing customised IT, automation, or big data solutions. They rely on batch manufacturing and have rapid product changes which makes automation difficult.

"Clear description of the idea:
Get people with digitalization and automation experiece into the board of directors of industrial companies.
These people can then guide the rest of the board of directors (and the CEO) on available technology and how it can be implemented in the company.

How the idea could be implemented:
One way to accomplished this is to give companies with a board member with certain key qualifications some sort of tax incentive.

"Dear enthusiast, leader, entrepreneur, change agent

We write to all of you who want to develop and implement digitalization, new organizations, business models, competencies and technologies in the public and private sectors.

New Nordic Digitalization is an e-book and process tool about digital innovation management customized to the specific Nordic challenges and opportunities

"Idea & Solution
The final product of the idea is an eLearning platform offering public business consultants the ability to earn certifications within certain specialization areas of industry 4.0. Eventually these certifications will become a standard for the public business consultants as it will serve as a proof of expertise towards the private manufacturing sector, showing that the consultants have background knowledge and a toolbox to support the manufacturers in the transition towards implementing industry 4.0 strategy and initiatives."

"The nordic manufacturing companies need strategies for automation and digitisation, same time it’s difficult for public business consultants to stay current on the latest technologies, processes and innovations. The Nordic Digitisation Roster propose a solutions where a new generation of highly motivated and educated upcoming talent are activated and engaged in bridging new knowledge and techlogogies from the world to local/national manufacturing companies.

"Please see attached documents:

- Visuals on the solution (frontpage, course outline, dashboard)

"RobocoastAI will help and support (and in some case even automate) the public business consultant’s work in order to find the right contacts, solutions and information available and serve the customer in the best possible way. This also means that the business consultants doesn’t necessarily have to be experts in the area of robotics to serve the customers in industrial modersization projects.

"Think big. Start Small. Grow fast.
Establishing “The Nordic SME Growth Movement”

INTRODUCTION
Through a stepwise (2017-2020) establishing of an extended user friendly E-learning universe targeted solely at the Nordic SME-segment we will through public-private co-operation form “The Nordic Growth Movement”.

"Idea in Brief:

Problem: There is an enormous profit potential for manufacturing firms in big data, but one of the key barriers to obtaining data-driven growth is the lack of knowledge about which capabilities are needed to extract value and profit from data.

Solution: We (BDBB research group at CBS) have developed a research-based capability mapping tool, entitled DataProfit, which the public business consultants can use to upgrade their tool kit to enable data-driven growth in manufacturing organizations.

"The potential for the Nordic manufacturing sector is huge, and more than 50% of our exports stem from the manufacturing sector [1]. However, automation is expensive to implement and it requires specialist skills to maintain, while 90% of all manufacturing companies in Nordic countries employ fewer than 20 employees [1]. Automation lends itself better to high-volume production, of which we have very little left in the region.

"En `simpel´ detalje som en chipnøgle i alle nye biler og evt. et påbud om, at alle der ikke har så ny en nøgle skal have det installeret på anden vis i bilen, indtil alle ældre modeller er udskiftet (fra første komma; forslag).
Dét denne chipnøgle skal gøre er, at skrive bøden for politiet, ved at måle direkte på motoren/speederen hvor hurtigt vedkommende kører.
Næste skridt kan være, at koble personens nemkonto op sammen med chippen og på den måde bliver bøden betalt med det samme.

"Daily Uptech - Keeping public business consultants up to date

Vores ARCS løsning skaber værdi i form af minimering af produktions nedetid for industrikunderne med UR robotter, idet deres robot operatører kan få SMS’er hvis robotter er stoppet, eller er løbet tør for emner. Løsningen skaber osse værdi for interne eller eksterne support organisationer i forhold til muligheden for remote access via VNC til robotter. Dette gør at man kan få fjernadgang til robotter fra hvor som helst, og fra et hvilken som helst device, for at problemløse, programmere og styre robotter remote.

"Problem: How do we ensure public consultants can advise industry in best possible way?

"The challenge is huge for consultants on the go - to be a real time bank of knowledge to help SMEs forward in the global competition. Due to the volume of information and the rate of technological change, it’s increasingly difficult for public business consultants to stay current on the latest technologies, processes,innovations as well as methods to help companies.

"Vi er fem friske unge mennesker som har lavet en app til at hjælpe folk som kommer i nød !
I gamle dage når nogen desværre f.eks. blev overfaldet på gaden, så råbte man efter ""hjælp"".
I fremtiden - som er lige nu - går man ind på sin smartphone og trykke på ""I Need Help"" på CQD (COME quick DANGER) app'en. Straks bliver alle i et område digitalt notificeret om at denne personer råber digitalt hjælp og hvorhenne personen befinder sig!
Vi har vha. en sponsor som har lånt os penge arbejdet på at få app udviklet, og nu er den udviklet og endelig kommet i App Storen.
