Important results from the project
The goal is to build lab environments, test them and develop organization and business model for continued activities. In collaboration with several industry partners, the project has evaluated and demonstrated opportunities and challenges for building an innovative, dynamic, long-term and easily accessible arena that mimics real-world conditions in a way that is currently unavailable. SALLPI develops a platform that gives the industry the opportunity to reduce time from idea to implementation.
Expected long term effects
Through the pilots, SALLPI concretises how digitization projects can be carried out without having to build their own platforms for individual tests. The pilots, for example, show the possibilities of VR / AR remote support and collaboration via the cloud, machine learning for control / prediction / optimization of the steel industry and cloud-based automation with IoT equipment for the process industry. A first version of the business model has been developed through an iterative process together with relevant stakeholders.
Approach and implementation
The project is carried out in two stages. During stage one, we have worked with a number of pilots who have involved various project partners. In addition to that, we have worked with lab infrastructure, security issues and business development. In order to disseminate the results and issues between different user cases and work packages, and especially to build a team that works together towards the goal, we have had regular meetings with entire project teams. Partly a number of physical workshops, and online meetings every two weeks.
