What if your Machines could talk?

What if the data shared from the machine is not just absolute facts, numbers or graphs, that require people to process and make necessary actions based on it? What if the information, the "voice" from the machine, is something that would make immediate sense?

What if your Machines could talk?

What an inspiring question. Digitalisation has enabled machines to collect data, process, analyse and share it with people. When machines are sharing information, they are connected and we use the term Industrial Internet of Things to describe that technology.

What makes sense is the "voice", which in this case not the sound, but the text that people can read, like, comment, share and act upon. Does this sound familiar? I believe yes as that is the way people are communicating in social media today. What if the machines become part of that media? Would that make a difference? I also believe yes, since the "voice" is the knowledge and values only if it is shared.

Knowledge is a collective intelligence that bridges the gap between makers and users of the machine. Knowledge can also become an asset that companies can commercialise. Commercialised knowledge is called Digital Services.

Vad är ett CAD-program?

02 oktober 2025

Ett CAD-program (Computer-Aided Design) är en digital programvara som används för att skapa, redigera och visualisera ritningar och modeller. Till skillnad från traditionella ritningar på papper möjliggör CAD hög precision, enkel redigering och effektiva arbetsflöden.

Smart BOM-hantering – den naturliga startpunkten för ditt PLM-initiativ

22 september 2025

När företag börjar utvärdera Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) är det lätt att lockas av de stora visionerna: digitala tvillingar, fullständiga processkartläggningar och sömlös integration mellan alla system. Men verkligheten är ofta att organisationer behöver börja i en mer konkret och värdeskapande ände. Den naturliga startpunkten i ett PLM-initiativ är oftast smart hantering av stycklistan (BOM, Bill of Materials).
