Data analytics and AI technologies: Tools for technical consultancy

Running an industrial manufacturing operation is a massive undertaking consisting of complicated and intertwined processes. Managing each area well is crucial in running a successful business. One of these processes is data collection and management, which is boosted by the application of artificial intelligence.

XR Technologies – Bold steps to new realities

The simulation of reality has developed vastly in the last decade, and the pace of the development is in­creasing. Virtual and augmented reality have become buzzwords and artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping up to change mankind for better or worse. Applica­tions can be found in industry as well as in the gaming world. Where is simulation going and how will it shape our world?

Faster, better, and simpler are words that drive industry. Instant gratification and consumption are the order of the day. The more one knows about the world, the more one becomes aware of experiences that are missing. But what is an experience? What makes a trip more real than a simulation of the same trip? What is missing?

The birth of different realities

X Reality (cross reality / XR) encompasses multiple forms of artificial realities such as augmented reality, virtual reality and mixed reality.

Digital security in industry – Vulnerabilities in industrial control systems

With the digital revolution in society, security concerns are becoming increasingly prominent. Digitalisation remains, however, an opportunity above all else. This article briefly introduces Digital Security Theory and presents SAFESCAN, a digital security vulnerability assessment process that can identify vulnerabilities in industrial control systems (ICS).

Simulation of deflagration in exhaust systems – An application of CFD in safety engineering

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is being increasingly used in safety engineering to simulate toxic gas dispersion, fires, and explosions. Experimental studies in this area are dangerous, difficult, and expensive. They are also often confined to a relatively small scale compared with practical situations such as fires in chemical plants and explosions in coal mine tunnels.

Data collection and analyses in the marine environment

In recent years, much noise has been made about digitalisation in the marine sector. The related devel­opment areas include, among others, autonomous navigation and steering for ships, as well as more ad­vanced ship automation systems that ease the lives of crew and owners. In leveraging the benefits of digitalisation, data collection and analysis have become key focus areas.

Enterprise Production Management and digitalisation of upper level automation

With the industrial Internet of Things (IoT), the management of production and related production infrastructure are moving to a new level. Digital service products are becoming more common and will provide owners and users with a higher degree of control and more accurate product development information.

Leveraging the benefits of digitalisation

Industrial Internet, automation data processing, and cloud services.

Society is currently undergoing a digital revolution which, in addition to changes in our environment, is creating and transforming industrial business models and value chains. The Fourth Industrial Revolution will transform the Industrial Internet (IIoT) by connecting real-world machines and equipment to each other and the network.
