Important results from the project
KODIT has strengthened Swedish industry´s ability to coordinate digital transformation in global factory networks. The project´s most important deliverable is a framework for coordinating digital transformation, which includes guidelines for strategy work, selection and integration of digital technologies, organizational support structures and a checklist for coordination. The project has led to increased competence, scientific publications and continued industry-academia collaboration.
Expected long term effects
In long term, KODIT is expected to contribute to increased competitiveness in Swedish manufacturing through more effective coordination of digital initiatives in factory networks. The project strengthens the ability to disseminate and scale up local solutions and create a balance between global standardization and local flexibility. This enables faster technological development, increased innovation and resource-efficient production through better utilization of digital technologies.
Approach and implementation
KODIT has focused on three main areas: organizational structure, digital transformation strategy and coordination mechanisms. The project used an interactive research approach with close collaboration between Mälardalen University and participating industry partners. Data was collected through interviews, surveys and workshops. Regular project meetings at the partner companies provided an opportunity to exchange experiences, verify results and adapt the themes to the needs of the industry.
