Successful setup and upskilling of an internal digital unit

Go-live of apps with first pilot customers

The Solution

The client engaged etventure to set up their own digital unit, with focus on the development of new digital products – using etventure’s user-centric methodology. A digital platform and app were launched, as etventure trained the digital unit to be self-sufficient:

The app enabled the bundling of digital applications & services in the metal industry.
The app visualizes any alerts received from plant systems in a clearly structured overview – and helps staff to quickly determine the cause of the fault, and rectify it by providing alert-specific information and documentation.
A Data Lab was formed to lead future machine learning projects – and achieved an early win, improving the ability to predict/prevent surface cracks.
