Industrial Internet –Business Revolution

Tekes programme 2014–2019

What does the Industrial Internet mean?

The Industrial Internet combines:

•smart & embedded devices & systems•data collection and analysis•business processes and people at work

This enables completely new business modelsand competitive services to fulfill customer needs.

. 

The drivers behind the Industrial Internet are: increased computing power – especially in embedded devices, increased network speed, availability of small, durable and accurate sensors and considerably lower cost of all these factors. Wider user acceptance, know-how and need to streamline business processes boost the take-up of the Industrial Internet.

Why Tekes programme is needed?

Tekes’ Industrial Internet programme encourages Finnish companies to renew their business models through Industrial Internet means. The programme provides funding and services to find new cross-industry business partners.

This improves competitiveness and creates new companies ja completely new business models for existing ones for international business.

Forerunners – but also development needs

Case Konecranes: remote monitoring with

sensors

Case Wärtsilä: service concept based on condition based

maintenance

Case Enevo: waste removal optimisation

Case Eniram: optimised ship operation with data

analysis

Finland still slow in industrial ICT utilisation – speed from EU Horizon 2020, ECSEL JU, ITEA3 and US &

Germany cooperation

Big data & data analysis – more service providers and resources

needed

Cooperation of ICT companies and other industies must be made

easier and more attractive.

How to innovate new business models based on new

technology?

How to find customer needs and expectations with quick pilots?

Programme objectives

1. New open multidisciplinarynetworks and creative cooperationbetween ICT and other industryclusters – ”Opening the Silos”

Need: Connections between sensors and cloud services are not always reliable in modern wireless systems.

Approach: Wirepas’ unique software platform requires no infrastructure like routers for its network. Software is integrated directly to the radiochip which forms a network on its own. Tekes has funded the company’s R&D and internationalisation.

Wirepas Ltd:Cooperation between wireless devices anytime anywhere

Benefit: Rival solutions require either a mobile or Bluetooth connection. Wirepas enables wireless network anywhere as long as there is somekind of IP connection available.

Competition: Wirepas is the market leader in wireless electricity usage readers in Scandinavia. The company aims to be the global leader in wireless IoT solutions in 2020. Team Finland helps e.g. in entering new markets like Brasil.

Idea: Mevea, born 2005 in the department of Mechanical Engineering in the Lappeenranta University of Technology, plans and designs simulation technology for industry. Mevea’s customers design e.g. cranes, forest machines, mining equipment and earthmovers – using simulation in the design work.

Impact: Mevea’s customers include Konecranes, Cargotec, Normet and Wärtsilä. The growth in the future will come from the international markets, e.g. from the German-speaking Europe.

Big machines – simulated

Tekes has funded Mevea’s research and product development. Currently Mevea develops foundation for new simulator applications in Tekes’ Industrial Internet programme.

Idea: Develop a service concept for waste handling, based on wireless sensors. This enables reducing emissions and cost savings.

Impact: Enevo is ready to take a growth leap to the international markets. The technology may revolutionize the waste handling globally and reduce costs by 30%.

Enevo brings intelligence to waste handling and reduces costs

Co-operation with Tekes has been extremely good. Starting from the first meeting we felt that the Tekes team understood our concept and considered us as an important customer.The co-operation provides us credibility in the eyes of customers and investors.
