Important results from the project
The project aim to examine how advanced - highly productive but knowledge-intensive and investment heavy - production can be provided as a subscription service, with the necessary hardware connected to the service, has been partially achieved. The practical tests have not been carried out to the planned extent. The goal that parts of the service may be used in the production of selected pilot customers at the end of the project, however, seems to be possible, with only a reasonable delay in time.
Expected long term effects
It remains to prove that the model is working in practical production -But nothing speaks against this so far. Then the service can be further developed in terms of content in order to reach more applications and users. At the same time a strong trend is present that is working in this direction, with cloud-based (production) services, ´big data´ and the ´internet of things´. This is the future is beyond question - the question is whether we can stay in front of the wave with this project.
Approach and implementation
The necessary hardware has only been partly realized within the project. Barriers have not been technical but organizational. This was partially offset by working with partners who performed practical welding in previous projects. It is not the welding procedure that is unproven, but the service itself. Software and operational procedures have been set up and verified of a selected portion of the service, based on a few selected pilot customers´ actual needs. The success of critical assumptions have been verified to 75% on actual customer cases.
